Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a well-loved accessory for mini cooper owners as it can help them with the everyday tasks of driving their car. This can help ease the process of getting in and out of their car, especially when they are carrying large items or have difficulty opening the door using standard keys.
The key fob uses RFID, also known as radio frequency identification to unlock the vehicle. This system differs from traditional key chains which require that the driver insert the key into the slot. Instead the owner simply walks towards the vehicle and holds the key fob. The system also allows drivers to remotely open and shut the trunk and close and open the sunroof.
These features can be extremely beneficial for certain drivers, but they can also lead to issues. There are a few things you can do to solve your comfort access system if it's not working as it should. You should also ensure that there aren't any obstructions between your car's sensors the window button, or door handle and that the key fob has been properly inserted into the keyhole in the car.
