Battery
The battery you use in your key fob is one the easiest fixes.

Then, fit the screwdriver into the seam on both sides of the fob and raise a couple clips to secure it. They are easily broken so be cautious and take your time.
After replacing the battery then reassemble the fob and test it to ensure that everything is working exactly as it should. If it still doesn’t work you can try pressing the button a few times and verifying that the contacts are clear. It is also possible to test it using a spare key fob to determine if the issue is isolated to a particular key. If it is not, there could be a different reason for the key fob not to function. For example it could be because the button is worn out. This would only make the button work infrequently and not all the time.
Interference
The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that sends out signals of a short range to a device in your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you come close to it, as well as start when you push the ignition button within.
The problem is, interference can interfere with the transmission. For example, if you are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you’re holding the fob, it may stop you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).
Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency as the fob can interfere with the signal. This can include garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. It is even possible that an RF transmitter in your home could be interfering with the fob’s signals, however, this is difficult to diagnose without a professional test.
Your key fob might require reprogramming. The transmitter on your key fob has to be recognized by Mini’s receiver. A unique code is then created for each pairing. Fobs have to be reprogrammed when they are removed from the system or replaced, either after you purchase a replacement and in some cases when the battery is replaced. Follow the directions in the owner’s manual to reprogram a key fob or seek assistance from a dealer.

It is a good practice to test the functionality of the fob prior to operating the vehicle. Utilizing a voltmeter to check the voltage of the new battery to see if it is at an acceptable level. If not, it might be necessary to replace the entire chip in the remote. A certified dealer technician will assist you in determining the best solution for you vehicle.
