Part: Key
Operation: How to replace the key battery of a Mini cooper

How to replace the key battery of a Mini cooper? Let's see in this video how to best perform the replacement. We take our ignition key and go with the help of a screwdriver to pry between the two plastics (of the key cover) until they separate. We remove the empty battery with a screwdriver and take a new one of the same size and voltage. We reassemble the two parts of the remote control key covers until you hear the locking click of the same. We check the exact operation of the key remote control (by testing the opening and closing buttons of the doors).
