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).

How to proceed with the removal of the mirror cap on a Toyota Auris? Use a plastic lever to detach the mirror cap and the mirror itself. Pry until the cover comes off the mirror (this operation is very delicate as it may break). Once the piece is removed, take out the side indicator (for replacement), and you can replace it with the new one. Refit the new mirror cover by inserting it into the mirror and securing the plastic with the appropriate clips. Check the correct functioning of the part.
