How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob is able to do more than unlock your car's door. Many fobs are equipped with additional features, such as rolling down windows or calling your vehicle to park itself.
The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps into place. This battery can be used with key fob batteries. Key ring slots are integrated into the enclosures to make it simple to attach keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a sought-after accessory for mini cooper owners, as it can help them with the day-to-day tasks of driving their car. This includes making it easier of getting in and out of their vehicle especially when carrying large items or are having difficulty opening the door using standard keys.
The key fob is a tiny device that makes use of RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the car. Unlike traditional key chains that require the user to insert the key into a slot, this system simply needs the owner to enter the vehicle with the key fob in their hands. The system lets drivers open and close the trunk remotely, as well as close or open the sunroof.
While these features can be very beneficial for certain drivers, they also can create problems. If your comfort access isn't working as it is supposed to, there are a few options you can use to solve the issue. This includes making sure there's no obstruction between the car's sensors and the door handle or window button and ensuring that the key fob is correctly inserted into the vehicle's keyhole.
If you're still experiencing issues, try restarting the car and trying again. If these steps do not work, you can contact an expert mechanic for further assistance.
Remote Start
Many people are surprised to learn that the MINI Cooper keyfob has remote start. It allows you to remotely start your car from up 70 meters (or 230 feet) away. When G28 Car Keys Solutions are within the range of your vehicle, press the 'lock' button 2 times, and then press it again, pressing it down for a couple of seconds, to activate a remote engine start.
You can also roll up or down your windows and sunroofs to enjoy the fresh air before you get in your vehicle. Remote mirror control is a awesome feature that you can turn on via the key fob. You can fold and unfold the wing mirrors like by turning the switch on your car.
The key fob can also be used to close the trunk. This is a fantastic feature to have if you've forgotten to lock your vehicle. You can set up different driver profiles so that you can adjust the temperature and seat position according to the person driving. If you share your BMW with a spouse or friend you can share all the comforts and features while maintaining their own driving experience.
Remote Trunk Close
The key fob of your mini cooper can be utilized to make life easier. One of them is the capability to remotely open or close your trunk. This is particularly useful if you have a heavy object in the back of your car that you don't need to lift it or unbuckle your seat belt. You can also make use of the key fob in order to open or shut your windows as well as the sunroof if you're parked in an awkward area and don't wish to get out of your vehicle to do so.
The key fob is able to summon your car, just like Tesla's "summoning" feature. This is accomplished by pressing the lock button on your key fob three times in a row. Your car will then return from or enter the parking space and stop at the spot you direct it to.
The first thing you must do if you lose your key fob is deactivate it. This will prevent it from being used by burglars. This is easy to do and only takes about a minute. You can find instructions on deactivation in your owner's manual, or on the automaker's website. You can also purchase a new key fob, and be able to program it at the dealer, but they'll require your driver's license and proof of ownership.
Remote Mirror Control
BMW focuses on providing drivers with amenities to make driving more enjoyable. One of the most popular features that come with a new MINI Cooper is the ability to remotely open and close your trunk as well as the sunroof from the key fob. To enable this feature remove your key from the ignition, but do not turn off the power and then press the unlock button three times in rapid succession. The car will remain in accessory mode which allows you to press the unlock button a third time.
Another great feature that comes with your new MINI Cooper key fob is Remote Mirror Control. The key fob will allow you to fold or unfold your wing mirrors, allowing you more room in tight parking spaces. This feature will also save you from having another person drive the vehicle and mess with your radio settings, seat position or other preferences you've set.
BimmerTech can encode your key fob in case you have an all-new MINI and would like to add more features.
