Mini Replacement Key

If your key fob won't turn on you may need a new battery. It may also have to be reset to work with your vehicle.

Typically, you will find this service at your dealership. You can also call a local locksmith. They will use the VIN number from your vehicle to create a new key.

Battery

The battery inside your key fob might wear out and stop working after a certain time. The replacement mini key process is quick and simple and can be done at home. Just pry open your fob, pull out the battery that was in it and snap in a new one. You'll need to put in some effort, but within a few minutes you'll be back on the road. Certain key fobs require an internal key blade, so please add that if necessary when placing your order.

Programming

The key that comes with your mini Cooper comes with a chip inside that communicates with the car to open the doors and then start the engine. This is the reason it's essential to have a backup key, whether you require it as an extra key or in case you lose yours. You can purchase a generic car key at your local hardware store. However, you'll require a locksmith to program mini key fob to use it with your vehicle.

The process of programming is complicated and time-consuming. The CAS module should be removed from the car, and the key's information extracted by soldering. The new key has to be programmed by an authorized BMW/MINI dealer or a professional BMW/MINI coder. This is why the majority of locksmiths will not accept the job. You could also look for an independent BMW/MINI coder in your area. They will employ an ID44 chip programmer to connect to your car's BC1 module and read the EWS (immobilizer) code from the old key to program the new one.

VIN Number

Every vehicle has a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) number that is unique to the vehicle. This VIN number is comprised of 17 characters that may appear random, but they have specific meanings and are designed to safeguard vehicles from theft and fraud.

The first three characters of the VIN indicate the place where the car was built and its manufacturer. These codes are referred to as World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). The characters four through eight provide additional details about the vehicle, including its design and features. The ninth character is the security number that ensures that the VIN is valid. The last character is the year that the vehicle was manufactured.

The VIN number can be found in numerous places on your vehicle. It is typically printed on an adhesive that is visible to you when you glance at the dashboard or windshield. It is also visible on the jamb for the driver's side of the door if you open that door and look inside.

If you're thinking of purchasing an older vehicle, make sure that you verify the VIN number prior to signing the contract. A VIN decoder will assist you to understand the VIN to ensure that you don't buy a stolen vehicle or one that has damage. VINs have been standardized since 1981, but prior to 1981 vehicles were issued in an alternative format that could be difficult to interpret.

Lockout Service

Unlike traditional car keys, modern keys come with a transponder chip which can disable the vehicle's immobiliser system. These chips are embedded within the key and transmit a signal that is picked up by the CAS unit of the vehicle which then begins the engine. The advantage of this feature is that it helps keep thieves from using a stolen key to start your vehicle.
