Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a favorite among mini cooper owners as it helps them with their daily driving duties. This accessory allows you to easily get into and out of the vehicle, particularly if you are carrying heavy items or have trouble opening the door with standard keys.
The key fob is a tiny device that uses RFID, also known as radio-frequency identification to unlock the car. This system differs from traditional key chains, which require the driver inserting the key into the slot. Instead the owner just walks up to the vehicle and holds the key fob. It also allows drivers to remotely open and close the trunk and shut and open the sunroof.
While these features can be very useful for certain drivers, they also can cause issues. There are a few things you can do to fix your comfort access system if it's not working as it should. You can also check that there aren't any obstructions between the sensors of your car as well as the window button or door handle, and the key fob has been properly inserted into the car keyhole.
