How to open the remote control of the mini to change the covers

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Key

This version of the Mini has a remote control key equipped with a rechargeable battery (Panasonic VL2330) and generally it is not necessary to replace it, in fact it is welded on the electronic circuit and the remote control shells are heat welded; however it is possible to open and then separate the shells (and if necessary also replace the battery) by proceeding as follows; start by extracting the blade from the remote control and then remove the chrome ring applied along the contour of the two shells; at this point, use a cutter to detach and separate the shells in order to extract the circuit complete with battery and move it to the new cases.
