How to program a Mini Cooper key fob?

Answered by CarsGuide

You can't programme a new key fob to your MINI without specialist software that reads your car's computer, but you can change the CR2032 battery in the key fob yourself.

Use the button on the side of the key fob to slide the emergency key out, then pop out the middle section on the back of the key using a flat-head screwdriver. Slot the screwdriver into the exposed tab and lift up to reveal the battery.

Reassembly is the reverse of this procedure.
