Key fob not working when out shopping managed to get home using the blade and manual start against steering column, thinking it was the battery I put new battery in and still nothing, I have 3 key fobs all new batteries and none working yet all start car against steering column so still connected....does anyone have any idea what’s gone wrong please
it’s a 2015 4 door Mini Cooper

 

Might sound silly, but are the batteries brand new fresh from the store??
Or found somewhere in a drawer.

Another thing to try, sit in car with ignition on, and remove and replace battery while inside car.

 

I’ve tried removing battery while sitting in the car also the holding unlock and pressing lock button three times what someone else suggested but yes the batteries were found in a drawer but ones I’ve used a lot,

 

I’ve had mine not recognize the key fob twice now. 3 month old car. Just replaced the battery today. Hope that takes care of it.

 

hi not the battery unfortunately

 

Of course, that was the first thing the dealer suggested. Good news is that it is still under warranty, so if it does it again, I'll have to pay them a visit.

 

Have the same issue after having the windshield replaced… could it be a problem with the receiver? I read conflicting information on its location, some say rear view mirror others in the back on the passenger side. It’s a F56 from 2014… anyone know? Thanks!
