🔧 PRO TIP
The 2008 MINI Convertible (R52) sits right on the EWS3-to-CAS transition. Most R52 production used EWS3 with a standard HU92 remote head key, FCC ID IYZKEYR5602, running a PCF7935 (ID44) transponder chip. Later builds or certain options could have a CAS2 or CAS3 module with the round "puck" style key instead. Before ordering anything, check which module is actually under the dash. The part number 3452819-01 on the back of the remote confirms the older three-button remote head style.

2008 MINI Convertible REMOTE-HEAD-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call from someone near the Tomol Interpretive Play Area in Carpinteria. They had a 2008 MINI Convertible parked along the curb, one key that had stopped turning the ignition, and a dealer quote that included a tow to Santa Barbara plus a multi-day wait for parts.

The key blank was visibly worn. HU92 profile, teeth rounded down from years of use. The transponder side was actually fine. The ID44 chip inside was reading correctly, and the EWS3 module recognized it when I checked through the OBD port. The problem was mechanical. The worn cuts were hanging up inside the ignition cylinder instead of sliding clean.

I cut a fresh HU92 blade on the van, matched to the original code, transferred the transponder chip and remote board into the new shell, and tested. Key slid into the ignition like it was brand new. Turned smooth, engine fired, remote locked and unlocked all doors. Three buttons, all responding.

She watched me do the whole thing from the sidewalk and said something like, "That is it?" Whole job took less time than it would have taken to get the car on a flatbed. And it cost a fraction of what the dealer wanted before towing was even part of the conversation.

MINI Convertible Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to handle all-keys-lost on my 2008 MINI Convertible?
Call a mobile locksmith before calling the dealer. On the EWS3 system, all-keys-lost means resetting the EWS module and programming fresh ID44 transponder keys through the OBD port. The dealer route typically involves towing the car in, ordering keys by VIN, and waiting days for parts and scheduling. We come to you in Carpinteria, cut the HU92 blade, program the chip, and test everything on the spot. The price we quote on the phone is the price you pay. No tow bill, no storage fees, no parts markup surprise.
Can you delete lost or stolen keys so they no longer start my MINI?
Does my 2008 MINI Convertible key have a hidden emergency blade?
My MINI throws a "No Key" or "Key Invalid" message on the cluster. What does that mean?
The remote buttons on my 2008 MINI key stopped working but the car still starts. Bad remote or bad key?
