How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier The key fob on your key can do more than just unlock your car's doors. Some fobs can perform other functions, like opening windows, or directing your car to park itself. The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps in place. This battery is compatible with key fob batteries. Additionally, key ring-shaped slots make it easy to attach standard keys. Comfort Access Comfort Access is very popular among mini cooper owners as it helps them with their daily driving chores. This includes making it easier of getting into and out of their car, especially when they are carrying bulky items or are having difficulty opening the door with normal keys. The key fob is a small device that uses RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the car. As opposed to traditional key chains, which require the driver to insert the key into a slot, this system only requires owners to approach the vehicle with the key fob in their hands. The system allows drivers to remotely open and close the trunk and shut and open the sunroof. These features can be extremely useful for some drivers but they can also cause problems. If your comfort access system isn't functioning as it is supposed to, there are a few options to solve the issue. Also, make sure there aren't any obstructions between your car's sensors as well as the window button or door handle and that the key fob is properly inserted into your keyhole of your car. If you are still having issues restart the car and try again. If these steps don't work call a mechanic for additional help. Remote Start Many people are pleasantly surprised to learn that the MINI Cooper keyfob has remote start. It lets you remotely start your car from up to 70 meters (or 230 feet) away. Click the 'lock button' twice, then hold it for a few seconds to activate a remote start. You can also roll up and down your windows and enjoy the fresh air before you step into your vehicle. Another cool feature you can activate using your key fob is remote mirror control. You can fold and unfold the wing mirrors like with the switch on the car. You can also utilize the key fob to close your trunk, which can be extremely useful if you've forgotten to lock your vehicle. You can also set different driver profiles so that you can alter the seat and mirrors position and climate settings according to who is driving it. This way, if you're sharing your car with a friend or spouse, they will be able to enjoy all the luxury of your BMW while still enjoying a private and comfortable drive. Remote Trunk Close The key fob of your mini cooper has several hidden functions that can simplify your life. One of them is the capability to remotely open or close your trunk. This is especially useful when you have a bulky item in the back of your car that you do not want to lift it off or unbuckle your seat belt. You can also make use of the key fob to open or close your windows as well as the sunroof if you're parked in a difficult area and don't wish to take your vehicle out to do that. Another interesting feature of the key fob is that it will summon your vehicle similar to Tesla's “summon” feature. The key fob has to be pressed three times in succession. Then your car will automatically take off or reverse out of an parking spot and stop when you have instructed it to. If you ever lose your key fob the first step is to disable it so that it won't be used by thieves. It's simple and only takes some minutes. The instructions for deactivation are available in the owner's manual or on the automaker's website. You can also purchase an additional keyfob and be able to program it at the dealer. You will need your driver's license as well as proof of ownership. Remote Mirror Control BMW strives to provide drivers with amenities to make driving more enjoyable. One of the most common extras that come with a new MINI Cooper is the ability to remotely open and close your trunk as well as the sunroof via the key fob. To do this take your key out of the ignition and press the unlock button three times in a row. The car will then remain in accessory mode, allowing you to press the lock button three times more. Remote Mirror Control is another helpful feature that comes with your new MINI Cooper Key Fob. The key fob allows you to fold or unfold your wing mirrors and gives you more room in tight parking spaces. This feature can also allow you to avoid the annoyance of having another person drive your vehicle and tamper with your seat positioning, radio settings or other settings that you've carefully set up.
