To replace the battery in a Mini Cooper remote, take the key and locate the unlock button to extract the internal mechanical key. Once extracted, find the slot along the shell of the remote and insert a small flathead screwdriver to separate the two halves.

Carefully open the shell and remove the button cell battery, usually a CR2032, taking care of the polarity.

Insert the new battery respecting the correct orientation. Close the shell by pressing until it clicks and reinsert the mechanical key. Press the remote buttons to check correct operation.
