It may be a bit tight, but with the aid of a flat screwdriver you will be able split the two halves. Then, insert the screwdriver into the edges of the fob and raise a couple clips to secure it. They can easily break, so be careful and take your time. After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and test it to ensure that everything is working according to plan. If it doesn't function after pressing the button multiple times, make sure that the contacts are clean. You could also try the issue with a spare fob to determine if the issue is isolated to your key. If not then there could be a different reason for why the key fob isn't working. For example, it could be that the button is worn out. This would make the button work occasionally and not always. Interference The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that transmits the signal in a short distance to a receiver in your car. Its goal is to enable your vehicle to recognize the key fob and open its doors as you approach it, and begin when you press the ignition button. The problem is that interference can interfere with the transmission. For instance, if you have your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it may hinder you from unlocking your car (via iGeneration). Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob could interfere with its signal. Garage door openers or tire-pressure monitoring devices can also be affected. Even a transmitter inside your home could be interfering with the tire pressure, but this is difficult for professionals to test. It's also possible that the key fob needs to be changed in its programming. The transmitter on the key fob needs to be recognized by the Mini's receiver. A unique code is then generated for each pairing. Fobs usually need to be reprogrammed when they're removed or replaced, or when you purchase a replacement or, in certain cases the battery is changed. To reprogram a fob, follow the steps in the owner's guideline or visit a dealer for assistance. Chips that aren't working Modern electronic key fobs provide more convenience and functionality than manual keys. However they are also more susceptible to damage. A defective chip is one of the most frequent problems that can prevent your key fob from operating properly. This is usually a simple fix. If your fob is always not turning on your car, it's a sign that the chip is malfunctioning. The problem can usually be resolved by replacing the battery that is inexpensive and simple to locate at an hardware store or big-box retailer. To avoid future problems ensure you buy an appropriate battery with the vehicle model you are using. It is also crucial to ensure that the fob isn't exposed to water or soapy residue. Water will often cause corrosion, which can cause problems with the circuit board. If this is the case, you'll require cleaning it by using isopropyl or electronic cleaner prior to installing an entirely new battery. Once the old battery is replaced, it is an excellent idea to test the fob's function prior to driving the car. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage of the replacement battery to determine if it is at an acceptable level. If not, you may need to replace the whole remote chip. A certified technician from the dealership can assist you in determining the most suitable solution for your vehicle.
