Here is a little demonstration video on how to replace the battery in your R50 Mini Cooper key fob. This process is fairly involved since the battery isn't easily removeable. Here are the steps:
1) Use a knife or thin screwdriver and split the cases in halve. Score the sides with a knife and then use a screwdriver to dry the two sides apart.
2) Apply a little flux to the two solder points that currently connect the old battery.
3) Use a solder wand / iron to release the old VL2020 battery.
4) Line up the new VL2020 / ML2020 into the two 90 degree slots that the old battery just came out of.
5) Solder in the new battery. Clean up the old flux if you desire.
6) Use superglue or replacement case to put the fob back together. I recommend adding a silicone case to ensure it stays in 1 piece.
Some keys will need to be reprogrammed to the car. To do this follow these steps:
1) Insert the fob with the new battery into the ignition slot and move it to position 1.
2) Move the fob to the off position and remove from the slot.
3) Press and hold the open and the close buttons three times. The door lock should trigger to inform you that you have completed it correctly.
