What do I do if my MINI vehicle key still doesn't work after replacing the battery?

If your MINI vehicle key does not work even with a new battery, first check the position of the battery in the battery housing and the polarity of the battery and vehicle key. If this does not solve your problem, the replacement battery may be faulty or discharged. Insert a new battery into the vehicle key and test the functionality of your MINI vehicle key again. If problems persist, please contact your MINI Service Partner.
