Key Fob Question
So I have a '13 Countryman S and I just lost the key fob for it. However, I have my old '12 Countryman S key fob that I never threw away. Same design, size etc except for the actual cut key part obviously. Do you think Mini would be able to re-program the key for my current Countryman without charging me a ton?
Cheers

I think once a key is programmed, you cannot change reprogram it. Other than going to the dealer, you have two options: the first is to keep looking for the key, retrace your moves amd check between couch cushions etc. The second option is to call a locksmith and get a quote, it might be cheaper than you think.

Sorry, but no. The only way to remedy the problem would be to find the lost fob, or purchase a new one. The immobilizer chip in them is set to your VIN and cannot be reprogrammed, unfortunately.
A locksmith won’t do you any good. It’s a dealer only part, and you must prove ownership with a drivers license and registration before they can order one. The good thing is that it only takes a day or two.
I just bought a new one a couple of months ago.
