How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob is capable of more than unlocking your car’s doors. Some fobs can also perform other features like lowering windows and summoning your car to park itself.
FB Series enclosures are designed to house a PCB. They have a snap-in coin battery holder that can be used with the most popular key fob batteries. Plus, molded key ring slots allow you to attach standard keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a well-loved accessory for mini cooper owners, as it can help them in the everyday chores of driving their vehicle. This accessory helps you get into and out of the car, especially if you are carrying heavy objects or have trouble opening the door with regular keys.
The key fob is a tiny device that uses RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the car. This system is distinct from traditional key chains, which require drivers to inserting the key into the slot. Instead, the owner simply approaches the vehicle holding the key fob. The system allows drivers to open and close the trunk from a distance, as well as closing or opening the sunroof.
While these features can be useful for some drivers, they also can cause problems. There are a few steps you can do to solve your comfort access system if it’s not functioning properly. This includes making sure there are no obstructions between the car’s sensors and the door handle or window button and ensuring that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the vehicle’s keyhole.
If you’re still experiencing issues start the car again and try again. If these steps don’t work, you can contact a mechanic to get additional assistance.
Remote Start
Many people have a hard time believing that the MINI Cooper key fob actually has remote start, but it does. This will allow you to remotely start your car from up 70 meters (or 230 feet) away. Click the ‘lock button’ twice and then hold it down for several seconds to trigger a remote start.
You will also be able to roll up and down your windows or sunroofs, which means you can enjoy the fresh air before you even get in your car. Another cool feature you can activate using your key fob is the remote mirror control. This will allow you to fold and unfold your wing mirrors similar to the switch in the car.
You can also use the key fob in order to close your trunk, which is extremely useful if you’ve not locked your vehicle. You can create different driver profiles so that you can adjust the temperature and seat position based on the person driving. If you’re sharing your vehicle with a companion or spouse, they will be able to enjoy all the amenities of your BMW while still enjoying a private and comfortable driving.
Remote Trunk Close
The key fob that you have for your mini cooper can be used to simplify your life. One of them is the ability to remotely open or close your trunk. This is particularly useful in the event that you have a large object that is in the trunk of your car and don’t want to get it up or autokeysrus take off your belt. You can also use the key fob to open or shut your windows and sunroof if you are parked in a difficult location and don’t want to take your vehicle out to do this.
Another awesome feature of the key fob is that it can summon your vehicle similar to Tesla’s “summon” feature. The key fob should be pressed three times in succession. Your car will automatically return from or enter a parking spot and stop where you direct it to.
If you ever lose your key fob, the first step is to deactivate it so that it can’t be used by a thief. It’s simple and only takes a few minutes. The instructions for deactivation are available in the owner’s manual or Autokeysrus on the automaker’s website. You can also buy an additional key fob and have it programmed at the dealership, but you’ll need your driver’s licence and proof of ownership.
Remote Mirror Control
BMW is focused on providing its drivers with amenities that help them enjoy their cars more. One of the most common extras that come with a new MINI Cooper is the ability to remotely open and close your trunk as well as the sunroof via the key fob. To do this remove your keys from the ignition and press the unlock button three times fast. The car remains in accessory mode, allowing you to press the unlock button a third time.
Another handy feature that comes with your brand new MINI Cooper key fob is Remote Mirror Control. It lets you fold and unfold your wing mirrors with the key fob. This gives you more space in tight parking spaces. This feature will also help you avoid the frustration of having another person drive your vehicle and messing up the seat position, radio settings or other preferences you have carefully set up.
