Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Key

In this video we see how to use the buttons on the Mini's remote control: in fact, this hides a couple of interesting functions that are hidden; this of course in addition to locking and unlocking the doors, and releasing the trunk. Pressing the unlock button unlocks only the driver's door, while two presses unlock them all; but this setting can be changed through the settings on the "my mini" display. Holding down the unlock button, you can open the windows, making it easier to access if you park in a tight space. Pressing the lock button closes the car, and two presses deactivate the alarm; pressing the trunk release button unlocks the rear windows.
