How to replace the battery of the Mini Cooper key

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

When the key of your Mini Cooper F55 stops working, you are not necessarily obligated to buy a new one. In fact, in most cases the problem is caused by the completely drained battery, so it is sufficient to replace it with a new one. Below we will explain how to perform this operation. First of all, pull up the top of the remote control to remove the emergency key, then use a flat screwdriver to remove the back cover and then remove the battery cover. Once you have done this, replace the drained battery with a new one (CR2032 model).
