Mini Replacement Key

It could be that your key fob requires a new battery. It could also need to be reprogrammed to match the specific vehicle you have.

This service is usually offered at your local dealership. You can also reach out to a local locksmith. They will make use of the VIN number of your car to issue you a new key.

Battery

The battery inside the key fob can run out and cease to function over time. It is easy to replace it at home. Simply open your fob, take out the old battery, and snap in a new one. It will take a bit of effort but you'll be on the road again in the blink of an eye. Some key fobs require you to purchase an internal key blade so please add that if necessary when placing your order.

Programming

The key that came with your Mini Cooper includes a chip which communicates with the vehicle to open the doors and start the engine. This is why it's vital to keep a spare key in your car, whether you need it for a spare or in the event you lose yours. You can buy an unbranded car key at a local hardware store. However, you'll require a locksmith to program to make it compatible with your vehicle.

Coding is a complicated and time-consuming process. It involves taking the CAS module from the car and soldering it into it to obtain the key information. The new key will then need to be programmed into your car by an authorized dealer or a professional BMW/mini lost key coder. Most locksmiths will refuse the job due to this. If you're able, consider a local independent BMW/duplicate mini cooper key coder instead. They will use an ID44 programmer to connect to the BC1 module in your vehicle and read the EWS (immobilizer code) from the old key to program the new one.

VIN Number

Each vehicle has its own unique VIN number. This VIN number is comprised of 17 characters that might seem random, but they have specific meanings and are designed to guard the vehicle from theft and fraudulent use.

The three initial characters of the VIN code identify the location of the vehicle and the manufacturer of the vehicle. These codes are called the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The characters 4-8 reveal more details about the vehicle including the model as well as its features. The ninth character is the security code which confirms that the VIN is valid. The last character indicates the year the vehicle was built.

The VIN number can be found in numerous places on your vehicle. It is usually printed on the sticker which is visible when you glance at the windshield or dashboard. It can also be seen on the driver's side door jamb if you open that door and take a look inside.

If you are considering purchasing a used car, be sure that you verify the VIN number prior to signing the contract. A VIN decoder will help you to be aware of the VIN so that you don't buy a stolen vehicle or one with damaged. VINs have been standard since 1981. However, earlier vehicles had an alternative format that can be difficult for you to understand.

Lockout Service

As opposed to traditional car keys, modern keys are fitted with a transponder chipset that can disable the vehicle's standard immobiliser system. These chips are embedded in the key itself and emit a signal which is received by the CAS unit in the vehicle, which then starts the engine. This feature is designed to stop thieves from using stolen keys to start vehicles.

As a subdivision of BMW, mini key repair has a reputation for maintaining high standards of style and technology. Whatever your mini cooper s key model is new or old it is possible to get the replacement of your key for it. However, this service is usually directed towards those who have vehicles that work with key fobs.

It may be that your key fob requires an upgrade in battery. If it takes longer to open or lock the door than is normal, this is a common indication. If this is the case, call one of the locksmiths in your area to have your fob battery replaced. The process should take about 10 to 30 minutes. It's a quicker and cheaper option than replacing the key fob in its entirety. You can also use this service if you have locked yourself out of your car and need help to get back in.
