How Your Key Fob Can Make Your Life Easier

Your key fob is able to perform more than simply unlock your car's door. Many fobs have other functions such as rolling down windows and directing your car to park itself.

The FB Series enclosures feature a coin cell battery holder that snaps into place. This battery can be used with key fob batteries. Additionally, key ring molded slots make it easy to attach standard keys.

Comfort Access

Comfort Access is a favorite among mini cooper owners as it aids them in the daily tasks of driving. This accessory helps you get into and out of the car, especially if are carrying heavy items or have trouble opening the door using regular keys.

The key fob is a tiny device that utilizes RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification, to unlock the car. Contrary to traditional key chains which require the driver to insert the key into the slot, this system simply needs the owner to approach the vehicle with the key fob held in hand. The system also permits drivers to remotely shut and open the trunk, as well as close and open the sunroof.

These features can be extremely beneficial for certain drivers but they can also create problems. If your comfort access isn't working as it should, there are a variety of options to fix the issue. This includes making sure there's no obstruction between the car's sensors and the window or door handle, and confirming that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the vehicle's keyhole.

If you are still having issues start the car again and try again. If none of these methods work, you can contact a mechanic for additional assistance.
