How to disassemble a MINI key?
2 Answers
To disassemble a MINI key, simply press and hold the silver button on the left side of the key, then pull firmly to remove the key. Mini is a car brand originally introduced by the British Motor Corporation and now owned by BMW, renowned worldwide as a uniquely stylish small hatchback. Key information about MINI includes: 1. Exterior: The front grille features a larger opening, paired with a sporty bumper for a more dynamic appearance. 2. Interior: MINI's signature design continues, with an 8.8-inch screen on the dashboard. 3. The new MINI utilizes the latest UKL1 front-wheel-drive platform, equipped with front MacPherson struts and rear Z-type multi-link suspension system.
Removing the Mini key is actually quite simple. Here's how I did it when I changed the battery last time: There's a small groove on the side of the key. Just push inward with your fingernail or a thin card, and the casing will pop open. Be careful not to use metal tools to avoid scratching the casing – that would be heartbreaking. Inside, you'll find a coin cell battery and a circuit board. The battery model is usually CR2032, and when replacing it, make sure not to install it backward. When putting it back together, align the clips and press gently until you hear a click. The whole process takes no more than two minutes, much easier than going to the dealership, and it can save you hundreds in labor costs.
