Battery

The easiest way to fix the battery of your key fob is to replace it. The device uses a small coin-shaped 3V battery (CR2032 or CR2025) which is typically accessible in general stores and home improvement stores, and a few auto parts stores. Make sure to use a new battery. Batteries that are old can damage the circuit boards and cease to be useful.

Start by removing the fob. You may have to employ a flat screwdriver in order to separate the halves. Fit the screwdriver in the seams on both sides of the fob and lift the clips which hold it in place. They are very easily broken therefore, proceed slowly and with care.

Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and test to determine if it functions as it should. If it doesn't work after pressing the button a few times, check that the contacts are clean. You could also try the fob with a spare to see if the problem is not specific to the key. If not, there could be another reason for the key fob not to work. For instance it could be because the button is worn out. This will only make the button work infrequently and not all the time.

Interference

The key fob has tiny transmitters to transmit a short-range radio signal to a receiver in your car. Its function is to allow your car to recognize the key fob and open its doors when you approach it, and begin when you push the ignition button.

The issue is that interference can interfere with this communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it may prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices operating at the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. This could include garage door openers and tire pressure monitoring systems. It's even possible that an RF transmitter in your home might interfere with the fob's signals, but this would be difficult to identify without an examination by a professional.

The key fob might require reprogramming. The transmitter inside the key fob needs to be recognized by Mini's receiver. A unique code is then generated for each pairing. Fobs usually need to be changed when they're removed or replaced, or when you purchase a replacement and, in some instances the battery is changed. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual to program a key fob, or ask a dealer for help.

To avoid any further issues ensure that you purchase the right battery with the vehicle model you are using.

It is also essential to make sure that the fob isn't exposed to soapy residue. Water can cause corrosion and interfere with the circuitry. If this is the case, you'll have to wash it using isopropyl alcohol, or an electronic cleaner prior to putting in an entirely new battery.

It is a good practice to test the functioning of the fob before driving the vehicle. Test the voltage of the new battery with an voltmeter to make sure it is secure.
