Comfort Access
Comfort Access is a sought-after accessory for mini cooper owners, as it can help them with the day-to-day tasks of driving their car.

The key fob is a small device that utilizes radio-frequency identification, or RFID to unlock the car.

These features can be extremely beneficial for certain drivers but they can also cause problems. There are a few things you can do to fix your comfort access system if it's not functioning properly.
