Reassemble the fob after replacing the battery, and examine it to determine if the device works as it should. If it still doesn't work, try pressing the button a few times and ensuring that the contacts are in good order. It is also possible to test it with a spare key fob in order to determine whether the issue is specific to that particular key. If not, there may be a different reason for the key fob not to function. It could be a worn button, for example. This would only make the button function occasionally and not all the time.

Interference

The key fob uses a tiny transmitter to send a radio signal of a short range to a receiver within your vehicle. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob, and open its doors when you approach it and start when you press the ignition button inside.

Interference can interfere with communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it may prevent you from unlocking the vehicle.

Other electronic devices that operate at the same frequency can also interfere with the fob's signal. This includes garage door openers as well as tire-pressure monitoring systems. It is even possible that an RF transmitter in your home might interfere with the fob's signal, though this would be difficult to pinpoint without the assistance of a qualified test.

Your key fob might need to be reprogrammed. This procedure requires the transmitter on your fob to be identified by the receiver in your Mini and a distinct code is assigned to each pairing.
