15 Unquestionable Reasons To Love Mini Key
How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier

Your key fob is capable of more than unlocking the door of your car. Many fobs have other functions like rolling down windows and directing your car to park itself.

The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps in the right position. This battery is compatible with key fob batteries. Additionally, key ring molded slots make it easy to attach standard keys.

Comfort Access

Comfort Access is popular among mini cooper owners because it helps them with their daily driving chores. This can help ease the process of getting into and out of their car particularly when they are carrying heavy items or have difficulty opening the door with standard keys.

The key fob uses radio-frequency ID, or RFID to unlock the vehicle. Contrary to traditional key chains which require the driver to insert the key into a slot, this system only requires owners to approach the vehicle with the key fob in their hands. The system also allows drivers to remotely shut and open the trunk and also close and open the sunroof.


These features can be extremely useful for certain drivers, however they can also lead to issues. There are a few things you can do to fix your comfort access system if it isn't functioning properly. It is important to ensure that there are no obstructions between the car's sensors and the window or door handle, and confirming that the key fob has been properly inserted into the car's keyhole.

If you are still having issues try restarting the car and try again. If these suggestions don't work, you should contact a mechanic for additional assistance.
