How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob can perform more than simply unlock your car's door. A lot of fobs come with additional functions, like opening and closing windows, or even directing your vehicle to park itself.

Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a sought-after accessory for mini cooper owners as it can help them with the everyday tasks of driving their car. This includes making it easier of getting in and out of their vehicle, especially when they are carrying heavy objects or have difficulty opening the door with standard keys.
The key fob is a small device that uses radio-frequency identification, or RFID to unlock the car. This system differs from traditional key chains, which require the driver insert the key into the slot. Instead the owner walks into the vehicle with the key fob. The system also permits drivers to remotely open and close the trunk and also close and open the sunroof.
While these features are useful for certain drivers, they also can cause issues. There are a few steps you can do to fix your comfort access system if it isn't working as it should. It is important to ensure that there aren't any obstructions between the car's sensors and the window or door handle and verifying that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the car's keyhole.
If you are still having issues start the car again and try again. If these steps aren't working, contact a mechanic for additional help.
Remote Start
Many people are surprised discover that the MINI Cooper keyfob has remote start. Adding this to your car will allow you to start your car remotely from as far as 70 meters away (or 230 feet). Click the 'lock button' twice, then hold it down for several seconds to activate a remote-start.
You can also roll up and down your windows and sunroof to enjoy the fresh air even before you get into your car. Another cool feature you can turn on with the key fob is remote mirror control. You can fold and unfold the wing mirrors just like using the switch on the car.
The key fob can also be used for closing the trunk. This is a fantastic feature to have if you've forgotten to lock your vehicle. You can create different driver profiles to adjust the climate and seat positions based on the person driving. This way, if you're sharing your vehicle with a companion or spouse, they will have the opportunity to experience all the conveniences of your BMW while still enjoying a private and relaxed drive.
Remote Trunk Close
The key fob on your mini cooper comes with several hidden functions that can simplify your life. One of them is the ability to open and close the trunk of your car remotely. This is especially helpful when you have a large item in the back of your vehicle and don't need to lift it or unbuckle your seatbelt. You can also utilize your key fob to open or close the windows and sunroof which is ideal if you're parked in an awkward spot and aren't feeling like getting out of your car to open or close them.
Another awesome feature of the key fob is that it has the ability to summon your vehicle similar to Tesla's "summon" feature. The key fob must be repeated three times. Then your car will move out or back into the parking space and stop where you tell it to.
If you lose your key fob the first step is to disable it so that it can't be used by a criminal. It's easy and takes only some minutes. You can find deactivation instructions in the owner's guidebook or on the automaker's website. You can also purchase an entirely new key fob and have it programmed by the dealer, though they'll need your driver's license and proof of ownership.
Remote Mirror Control
BMW concentrates on providing drivers with amenities to make driving better. The capability to open and close the trunk and sunroof via the key fob is one of the most commonly used features included in the new MINI Cooper. To get this to work 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 then remain in accessory mode and allow you to press the lock button once more.
Another feature that is included with your brand new MINI Cooper key fob is Remote Mirror Control.
