How do I activate my MINI Key Card for my MINI Digital Key?

The Digital Key Plus Service Card can be stored in the vehicle in its deactivated state and activated as needed when valet parking, during service visits, in the event of a tow, or other temporary vehicle use. It must always be deactivated after use.

 

ACTIVATION

  1. To activate the service card, place it in the MINI’s wireless charging tray.
  2. When a pop-up appears on the vehicle’s display, select “Activate Card.” Alternatively, navigate to: “Home” > “Keys” > “Digital Key” > “Activate Key.”

 

DEACTIVATION

Before returning the Service Card to storage, it must be deactivated. 

  1. To deactivate, place the card in the wireless charging tray.
  2. On the vehicle’s display, select: “Home” > “Keys,” > “Deactivate Card.”
  3. Once deactivated, it can be safely stored in the vehicle.
