mini cooper key is a unique car that offers classic style and excellent handling. However it's not without its share of issues.
One of the most common is the case of a key fob that malfunctions. This can lead to an expensive trip to the dealer, but you can fix it yourself.
Remote Mirror Control
One of the most useful functions that the MINI Cooper key fob comes equipped with is the ability to control your vehicle's exterior features, such as the mirrors, sunroof, and roll up windows. This is an enormous convenience for many drivers, especially when they have to squeeze into tight space.
The remote mirror control feature allows the driver to press the lock button on their key fob to fold their side-view mirrors. The driver can also press the button to unfold their side-view mirrors. If you're having problems in using this function on your vehicle, it's likely that the switch which controls it has failed. A local ASE certified technician can inspect the switch to determine if it needs to be replaced.
Certain drivers notice that the wing mirrors of their vehicle will adjust from top to bottom, but they won't adjust sideways. This indicates that the mirror control switch has likely been affected by a glitch. This could be due to a defective master or slave switch, or a problem with the electrical switch that is responsible for sending the signal for the mirrors.
Fortunately, this can be fixed by a simple and affordable fix from your local ASE certified mechanic. The solution is to get the switch controlling the mirror replaced. This will resolve the issue and allow you to take advantage of your vehicle's features on the outside without worrying about someone is stealing it.

My wife's 2022 Cooper S 5 door would like an Acoustical lock/unlock confirm. Is it possible to program this? If so, would you suggest a Piezo siren/buzzer for tapping into?
Thanks!
