Switching the battery on your key fob is one the easiest fixes. The key fob is powered by a tiny coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) that is available in general stores and home improvement stores, and some auto parts stores. Make sure you use a brand new battery -- old batteries are often no longer good for anything and can cause damage to the circuit board.

Start by prying the fob open. It may be a bit tight, but with the aid of a flat screwdriver, you will be able split the halves. Install the screwdriver into the seams on both sides of the fob, and lift the clips that hold it in place. These can be easily damaged so be cautious and take your time.

You can also try it using a spare key fob to determine if the issue is isolated to the specific key. If it is not, there could be another reason behind the key fob not to function. For example it could be because the button is worn out. This could trigger the button only occasionally, not all the time.

Interference

The key fob is powered by a tiny transmitter that transmits a short-range signal to a receiver in your car. Its primary function is to permit your car to recognize the key fob, then open its doors when you are near it and start when you press the ignition button.

The problem is, interference can sometimes interfere with this communication. For instance, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it can prevent you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency may also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers or tire-pressure monitoring devices can also be affected. It is also possible that an RF transmitter within your home may interfere with the fob's signals, although this would be difficult to determine without an expert test.

It's possible that your key fob simply needs to be reset. The transmitter on your key fob has to be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is used for each pairing. The fob needs to be programmed when they are removed from the system or replaced, either after you purchase a new one and in some cases when the battery is changed. Follow the steps in your owner's manual to program a key fob, or seek assistance from a dealer.

It is a good practice to test the functionality of the fob prior driving the vehicle. Utilizing a voltmeter, examine the voltage of the replacement battery to see whether it is at a safe level.
