The method explained in the video provided here is actually not only valid for the Mini Cooper, but for the majority of cars on the road. What does it involve? Nothing too complicated, just locating the overload protection fuse for the car's alarm system and disconnecting it. As we can easily see, there are two fuse boxes, one located in the engine compartment, the second in the passenger compartment, next to the front passenger door.
