Why did the key to my Mini Cooper stop working?
Years 2001-2007

Answer

If the key remote control stops working on your Mini Cooper, the first thing to check is that the battery is charged. If it was properly charged it probably went out of order. To proceed with the coupling of the Master key, you can proceed as follows: -Enter the car and close all the doors (DO NOT OPEN THEM until the end of programming). -Insert the key into the dashboard and turn to the first click, then back and remove the key from the dashboard (all within 5 seconds). -Hold down the release button (the one with the padlock open), holding it down, press the lock button (the one in the Mini logo) 3 times, then release the release button, the doors must lock and unlock. To end the procedure, open a door or insert the key and take it to the second click.
