I know you're not happy with your car, but would a reflash help with any of it?

Most likely. If my dealer didn't employ idiots only.

my silver plastic ring cracked months ago. The dealer has ordered a new one for me. The self programming concept puzzles me. Lets says you have a fob from one MCS and insert it into another MCS. Will it reprogram to start the second MCS? If so, we have a universal fob for any 2007 or later mini cooper.

No. Each fob is different--will not be usable on another car. What's more, each fob has to be programmed for the SAME car, because it starts out with a "blank slate" so to speak, as far as the personal options are concerned. For example, if both drivers want 3-flash signals, both will have to be programmed to do that since the default is 1-flash.

If you look in the manual, you will see several other options--daytime running lights and locks, for example.

Does that help?

Which dealer? Chambers or Peabody? My dealer says that it's not covered if it breaks off.

The silver ring came loose on my key yesterday. I was wondering about a drop of glue. Nice this post came up at the time.

They also store different settings for the radio as well.
