Replacing the Key Battery on a Mini

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Key

The battery used in Mini cars is a commonly used CR2032 3 Volt battery, easily found in hardware stores or large supermarkets. First, extract the manual spare key from the remote by pressing the designated side button. Then, pry open the slot on the cover of the casing, removing it. In the video, the same key is used for this operation, but I recommend obtaining a small flathead screwdriver. Replace the battery, and you're done. Reassemble everything.
