Mini Cooper key battery replacement

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

Today we will show you a simple but not trivial maintenance: changing the battery on a Mini Cooper F style key. Remove the manual ignition key from the casing. On this, detach the central top with a small flat screwdriver, as shown in the video. With the same small screwdriver, remove the last small plastic that is above the battery (it takes a bit of force) and slide it out. Insert the new battery and proceed backwards: first insert the small battery protection, then the other plastic plate (they are only inserted with plastic hooks) and reinsert the manual key. Check that everything is working correctly.
