Mini Key: A Simple Definition
How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob can do more than just unlock your car's door. Many fobs have additional capabilities, like rolling down windows or calling your car to park itself.
The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps into the right position. This battery can be used with key fob batteries. Plus, molded key ring slots make it easy to attach standard keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is very popular among mini cooper owners since it aids them in their daily driving chores. This accessory helps you get into and out of the car, especially if are carrying heavy items or are having trouble opening the door using normal keys.
The key fob makes use of radio-frequency ID, or RFID, in order to unlock the vehicle. Unlike traditional key chains that require the user to insert the key into the slot, this system only requires the owner to walk up to the vehicle with the key fob held in hand. The system also allows drivers to open and close the trunk, as well as shut and open the sunroof.
While these features are useful for certain drivers, they also can cause problems. There are a few things you can do to repair your comfort access system if it isn't working properly. Also, make sure there aren't any obstructions between your car's sensors and the window button or door handle and that the key fob has been properly inserted into your car keyhole.
If you still have problems start the car again and try again. If none of these methods work, then you can call an expert mechanic for further help.
