Hi, hoping someone can offer advice regarding my mini coopers central locking key past couple of weeks its been playing up with regards to opening/locking car, today it looks like its packed in altogether as I had to lock it with the key silly me thought it needed a new battery lol, but seems more technical ive heard, any advice would be much appreciated, car is a cooper 56 plate, thanks.

 

The comfort access keys have an extra battery that is on the bottom.

For the R56 MINI Cooper 2007+ there are circular keys and circular key fob with comfort access. Comfort access have the battery that can be changed externally with the flat battery above.
