How to replace the battery of the Mini key

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

Is the Mini key's battery dead? Let's see how the stack is changed inside. We take our remote control key and pry with a screwdriver between the two parts of the plastic key cover (we do not break the plastic of the remote key). We extract the flat battery from inside the key (with a small screwdriver). We mount a new battery of the same size and voltage. We join the two key covers by pressing on the key cover until you hear the lock click. Let's check the exact operation of the remote control key: operate the buttons on the remote control key and see if it works.
