Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a popular accessory for mini cooper owners since it can assist them with the day-to-day tasks of driving their car. This accessory assists in getting in and out of the vehicle, particularly if you are carrying heavy items or are having trouble opening the door with regular keys.
The key fob is a small device that makes use of radio-frequency identification, or RFID, to unlock the car. As opposed to traditional key chains, which require the user to insert the key into a slot this system simply needs the owner to approach the vehicle with the key fob in hand. The system lets drivers open and close the trunk from a distance and shut or open the sunroof.
These features can be very beneficial for certain drivers, but they can also create problems. There are a few steps you can do to solve your comfort access system if it isn't working properly. It is important to ensure that there isn't any obstruction between the car's sensors and the window or door handle and confirming that the key fob has been correctly inserted into the car's keyhole.
If you're still having problems restart the car and try again. If these steps aren't working, contact a mechanic for additional help.
