How to Replace the Remote Battery of the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Key

To replace the remote battery of the Mini Cooper, use an object like a screwdriver to pry at the back of the device: this will detach the cover with the MINI logo, giving you access to the underlying battery. The old battery can now be extracted from its housing so that you can insert the new replacement part; after the new battery is inserted into the remote, close it and check that it works correctly with the new battery.
