Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Key
Operation: What to do if the Mini Cooper does not recognize the key?

In this video, we see a solution for the Mini Cooper that doesn't recognize the key. The YouTuber tried various methods, such as changing the key, changing the key's battery, and even changing the motherboard, but couldn't get the car to recognize the key in any way. So, they chose an alternative route: they dismantled the key insertion block, and the electrical connection strip wasn't securely attached to the connector. They proceeded to fix it properly, and now it seems like everything is working perfectly. They just need to put everything back in its place, and they can start.
