How to Program the Key for a Mini Cooper
Insert your key in the ignition of your Mini Cooper. Turn the key until the interior dashboard lights turn on.
Remove the key from the ignition, but do not turn the key to the "off" position. Push the "Unlock" button on your car-key remote. ...
Push the "Lock" button three times.
To test the new battery, stand near your MINI and press the "Unlock" or "Lock" buttons.
If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash and also hear the door locks opening or closing.
The fob shouldn't need to be reprogrammed. Just changing the battery shouldn't clear the original programming.

i paid $15.99 for 4@CVS bc i wanted them same day. Duracell brand.

[@lindachurchman9521]

@@sooofunny37I paid £1.69 online took four days but in all honesty I was worried that my old one would die on me . £1.69 for 6 . Why 6 I don’t know lol

[@jasonklinger5234]

This is why I love YT. Randomly got the low battery alert from my mini today and rushed here for a fix. Great overview!

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad my video could be of some assistance to you! 👍

[@815loveveda]

no lalala intro and went straight to the problem, good video, thanks!!!!

[@KeyFobRob]

You're welcome! Glad I could help

[@shopnancyiee8093]

I did this by myself without having to ask my boyfriend for help. 😊

[@KeyFobRob]

Nice!

[@nicolletteutloa8249]

I was in such a panic about replacing my battery but this video has calmed me down a whole lot! Thank you 😅

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad I could help!

[@rosannaprice6832]

Key itself is the screwdriver you need - all beautifully designed by bmw 👍

[@OneDown5Up]

The little "key" that you slide out first is designed to take out the plastic part inside. Use that instead and you won't accidentally screw it up.

[@victoriaoyenuga6391]

GAME CHANGER! Thank you!

[@fmeu7733]

Doesn’t seem to work for me at least, damaged the plastic considerably

[@mototipsraultoledo7045]

virtually impossible to open with the tip of the metal key. does lots of damage to the plastic. a medium sized flat screwdriver is the best bet.

[@Brokoro]

Thanks dude! For laughs i went and called my mini dealership and told them "my remote key is malfunctioning" as the car alarm says, they wanted $421. I already had a spare 2032 battery in my battery storage when i saw this video and boom, fixed for free!

[@KeyFobRob]

Lol - good stuff!

[@815loveveda]

I resisted the temptation to call the dealership and instead, went on KZbin.

Woohoo! Fixed it - feel like a technical genius 😆 Many thanks 👍🏼

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad you found the video helpful! Take care

[@loriwhite6460]

Thanks! Great video - super easy. The first cover on mine was a lot harder to get off than yours seemed to be, and I managed to crack one of the inner mounts while prying it off - but I’m sure if I’d been a little more patient with it, I could have avoided that. Doesn’t seem to have affected it, so all’s well! Saved me a huge headache - so thanks again!

[@KeyFobRob]

You bet! Glad I could help

[@nickeyboi]

Great name, by the way, Key Fob Rob. I sure appreciate videos that get directly to the point and do so in a clear, concise way. I’m gonna go change out that pesky little battery right now. Thanks so much!

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad I could help you out!

[@Flars-rd5ob]

THANK YOU! My Mini has been ALL CAPS for over a month about changing the fob battery. So glad I found your channel! Now I have to find out where I put the other fob. 😊👍

[@just_2_sassy101]

Hello! I have NO IDEA how much you actually saved me but I followed your exact directions and it worked. My key fob is actually working. Happy Sunday! Many thanks to you

[@KeyFobRob]

Excellent! The dealerships charge ~50 so glad you could save come cash and a trip! Take care

[@rosemarymortonjack9387]

Much needed advice - clear and useful. Thanks. Had to rewind a few times as it goes so quickly but got there in the end.

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad it helped!

[@lisaburnage]

Yes me too!

[@gameover7229]

Small notice: Use a larger screwdriver than the one in the video because a smaller one may damage the end of the plastic cover. I tried to pull it off and as the screwdriver tip pressed the stucked cover it broke on the side. I was lucky because it was more a cosmetic damage than an essential one. I then used a larger screwdriver and it came off easily.

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

Yeah, I used a plastic blunt knife

[@killomaster]

You can use the key itself, so the official Mini instructions on KZbin.

[@lisaburnage]

Excellent advice thanks!

[@totoonthemoon3593]

​@@killomaster It is the official instruction, but it doesn't work properly, because the tip is too short.

[@DarkBunnyLord]

@@killomasterUsing the key itself doesn’t work at all it just fucks up the plastic.

[@gaylestafsky3743]

Your instructions were explicitly simple. I am grateful as I am not the engineering brain and thought I would actually have to go to the miniccooper dealer to do this. Because of your video, I did it😁 Thanks a mill

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad it helped!

[@maridason5648]

Thank you so much! So easy to do with your AMAZING straight forward instructions!

[@oliverforde7755]

I couldn't figure out how to open it. Looked like the plastic was going to break. This video gave me the courage. All done. Thank you!

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad it helped!

[@Bytecrawler-mx9kg]

If you can't pry the cover off with a screwdriver, don't keep trying. You'll mess up the plastic and very possibly still won't be able to get the cover off. When the screwdriver didn't work for me, I used a utility knife to pry the cover up a bit at the seam between the cover and the body of the fob near the "neck" (the base of the area where the key goes in). Once I got a gap of a few millimeters, I was able to pry the cover up with the screwdriver the way Rob shows in the video.

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad the video was helpful for you. Take it easy

[@cerenademe9433]

Thanks! One of those little metal do-dads that you use for ejecting a SIM card comes in really handy for extracting the actual battery. I had zero room for a screwdriver of the tiniest type!

[@HollySlack]

Thank you! Saw online people take them for mini to do themselves!! This saved time & money, being a very simple job🤣

[@daninoname7220]

Thank you for this excellent video. I replaced the batteries of both keys rather effortlessly. A view years ago I damaged the key and it took me ages.

[@vandersarlok]

I am not able to change the battery without watching this viedo, thank you.

[@superduperawesome6858]

If your having trouble with the key not been recognised by the car after changing the battery, then be EXTREMELY careful (at your own risk) and slightly lift the two connectors/tabs under the battery. It's likely that they are not making contact correctly with the underside of the battery. 👍

[@marc7574]

[@thenavigator9257]

Very fast and efficient explainer. Thanks!

[@KeyFobRob]

Boom! Thank you Wyatt!

[@petersterpe9063]

Fantastic! Thanks! A couple of things I found….First, the owner’s manual leads you to believe you can use the tip of the metal key to pry your way in. Ha! Good luck with that! As our helpful video-maker said, you need a screwdriver - period. The other thing is how much force it requires to pry the outer lid off. I’m thinking surely I should be more gentle with the key fob of my not-at-all-inexpensive car, but no, you need a megaton of force to pry that puppy off. The folks in Stuttgart gave this design task to the intern. Just bad.

[@KeyFobRob]

Agreed - Glad my little demonstration could help you out

[@christinafenendael9477]

I tried to follow the manual's direction to use the key itself and all it did was chew up the plastic of my expensive fob! Glad I found the tutorial!

[@999Turbo]

[@Abixnessa]

Thank you for this. I saved sm money by doing it myself

[@KeyFobRob]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@AndytheWhite]

The key is (supposedly) designed so you can use the key blade itself as the screwdriver in this instance, if your in a pinch. That outer cover can be very stiff though, so definitely just use a wider screwdriver if you have one handy.

[@claudiovictoria2246]

You’re right! I just tried that, and it did work

[@lisaburnage]

Yes I tried the key itself, but found a screwdriver easier.

[@HectorLeonHill]

Perfect instructions and vid! Easy to follow. Probably saved $20 by not having the dealership do it! :). Gracias!
