How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob can do more than just unlocking your car's door. Many fobs have additional functions, like opening windows, or directing your vehicle to park itself.
The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps in place. This battery is compatible with key fob batteries. Additionally, key ring molded slots allow you to attach standard keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a popular accessory for mini cooper owners, as it helps them with the day-to-day tasks of driving their vehicle. This accessory assists in getting into and out of the car, particularly if you are carrying heavy objects or have trouble opening the door using normal keys.
The key fob is a small device that uses RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification, to unlock the vehicle. Unlike traditional key chains that require the user to insert the key into a slot, this system only requires the owner to approach the vehicle with the key fob at hand. The system allows drivers to open and close the trunk from a distance as well as close or open the sunroof.
These features can be very beneficial for certain drivers but they can also lead to issues. There are a few things you can do to fix your comfort access system if it isn't functioning properly. You should also ensure that there aren't any obstructions between your car's sensors, the window button or door handle and the key fob is correctly inserted into the keyhole of your car.
If you are still having issues restart the car and try again. If none of these solutions work call a mechanic for additional help.

You will also be in a position to roll up and down your windows, or sunroof so that you can take a breath of fresh air before you get in your car.
