Interference The key fob uses a tiny transmitter to send a radio signal of a short range to a receiver in your car. Its purpose is to allow your car to recognize the fob and open its doors when you approach it and start when you hit the ignition button inside. Interference can interfere with communication. For instance, if you are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it might prevent you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration). Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob could interfere with the signal. Garage door openers or tire-pressure monitoring devices could be affected. It is also possible that an RF transmitter in your home could be interfering with the fob's signal, but this would be difficult to identify without an examination by a professional. The key fob might need to be reprogrammed. This process requires the transmitter in your fob to become recognized by the receiver inside your Mini, and a unique code is used for each pairing. Fobs typically need to be reset when they are removed or replaced, if you purchase a new one or, in certain cases when the battery is changed.
