Why is my MINI with Operating System 9 delivered with only one vehicle key?

Depending on the country of delivery, your MINI with Operating System 9 (from 07/2025 or 09/2025 depending on the model) is delivered with just one physical vehicle key. The exception is the MINI Cooper Convertible, which will continue to be supplied with two physical vehicle keys from 07/2025 onwards; a Setup Card for the MINI Digital Key Plus is planned for the MINI Cooper Convertible from 07/2026. The MINI Digital Key Plus on your compatible smartphone or smartwatch offers significantly more functionality and is therefore the preferred key for conveniently and securely locking, unlocking and starting your MINI. You can share the MINI Digital Key Plus with several persons. You can manage the authorisations for each recipient individually (depending on the equipment of the recipient's mobile device).

With the "Comfort Access" optional equipment (OE 322), the MINI Countryman and the MINI Cooper with a combustion engine from 07/2025, the MINI Cooper Electric and the MINI Aceman Electric from 09/2025 will be delivered worldwide with only one physical vehicle key (depending on the model, different in Brazil, China, Canada and the USA), a Setup Card for the MINI Digital Key Plus and a Service Card. The MINI Cooper Convertible will continue to be supplied worldwide with two physical vehicle keys and a Service Card from 07/2025; from 07/2026, a Setup Card for the MINI Digital Key Plus will also be provided. In countries of delivery where the MINI Digital Key Plus is not available, two physical vehicle keys will continue to be supplied.
