How to start a Mini with a dead key

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key

In this video we will see how to start a Mini even if the key battery is dead. Changing the battery is a simple and quick thing, but let's say we realize that the battery is dead and we are far from any place where we can find another one. What to do? The display tells us to place the remote control on the steering column, and if we check, on the right side of the steering column we find a plastic rod with a key-shaped icon. We must then hold the top of the remote control right at that point, and by doing so we will be able to start the car normally, and go buy the battery for replacement.
