How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier
Your key fob is capable of more than unlocking your car's door. Many fobs are equipped with additional functions, like rolling down windows or calling your vehicle to park itself.
FB Series enclosures are designed to house a PCB and have a snap-in coin battery holder that is compatible with popular key fob batteries. Key ring slots are integrated into the enclosures, making it easy to attach keys.
Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a sought-after accessory for mini cooper owners since it can assist them with the daily tasks of driving their car. This includes easing the process of getting into and out of their car especially when carrying bulky items or are having difficulty opening the door using regular keys.
The key fob makes use of RFID, also known as radio frequency identification to unlock the vehicle. As opposed to traditional key chains, which require the user to insert the key into a slot this system simply needs owners to approach the vehicle with the key fob held in hand. The system lets drivers open and close the trunk remotely, as well as shut or open the sunroof.
These features can be very beneficial for certain drivers but they can also cause problems. If your comfort access system isn't performing as it is supposed to, there are a few options to solve the issue. You can also make sure that there aren't any obstructions between your car's sensors the window button, or door handle and that the key fob is properly inserted in the car keyhole.
If you're still experiencing issues start the car again and try again. If these steps aren't working get in touch with a mechanic for additional help.
