Today we will discover the main instructions that will allow us to program the ignition key of the Mini Cooper. First of all, we get on board the vehicle and start connecting our programming tool (in this case the Autel IM608), then we retrieve the coding of the control unit; we select the brand and model of the car, as shown in the video.

At this point, we follow step by step the key programming procedure, waiting for the coding of the new ignition key; all that's left is to verify the key's functionality!

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
