How do I activate the Key Card for my MINI Digital Key in my MINI with Operating System 9?

The Key Card allows the vehicle to be unlocked and locked, as well as started. A digital key that has already been paired with the vehicle is installed on the Key Card. The digital key must be activated on the Interaction Unit. 

When MINI Digital Key is activated for the vehicle, a digital key can be used instead of the vehicle key. A deactivated Key Card remains in the list of paired digital keys.

Functional requirement: A vehicle key must be located in the vehicle to activate and deactivate the Key Card.  

 

Activating Key Card:

  1. To activate the Key Card, place the Key Card in the center of the tray on the center console and slide it down behind the holder.
  2. Follow the instructions on the Interaction Unit.
