To program the ignition key of the Mini Cooper, you need to connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD port: this can be found on the dashboard just below the steering column. Once the connection is made, you can select the specific car model and its corresponding version: then you need to follow all the instructions shown on the scanner to ensure that the key is programmed correctly.

You can then disconnect the scanner and verify that everything is working properly.
