Got a mini cooper jcw r53 changed the battery on the car and since then have not been able to lock alarm the car with the remote key.
Mini cooper door only locks with key.
Now hold down the unlock button while holding it down press the lock button 3 times then release the unlock button the doors should lock and unlock.
The doors all work and boot with the key inserted into the drivers door.
The trunk can be opened from 15 feet away to make getting the groceries in and out much faster.
If you need to reprogram a key whether the key deprogrammed itself after a battery replacement or if you lost your keys and need to program a new one programming a mini cooper key is simple and takes only a few minutes.
