We just dropped a new key fob video on YouTube of the replacement of the fob battery in a 2015 and older Mini fob.
We hadn’t seen this fob before and replacing its battery turned out to be far easier than its later replacement. Also, the fob uses the common CR 2032 battery.
We now have 13 videos for BMW and Mini drivers in our YouTube playlist, four of them for Mini models. Several are are battery replacements in key fobs.
Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new abbreviation or acronym.
At DashboardSymbols.com, our aim is to help you understand what is happening to your vehicle at the first sign of trouble — a new warning light illuminated on your instrument panel. Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers.
The new video can be seen below or on our BMW and Mini video page.
