2012 MINI Convertible REMOTE-HEAD-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from over near Chase Palm Park in Santa Barbara. Guy had a 2012 MINI Convertible, top down, parked along the waterfront. One key to his name, and it snapped clean off in the ignition barrel. The blade broke right at the shoulder where the plastic housing meets the cut portion. He still had the head of the key in his hand with the remote buttons and the transponder chip inside, but the bit that actually turns the ignition was stuck in the cylinder.
I pulled up, extracted the broken blade from the lock with a standard broken key extractor set, and checked the CAS3 module through the OBD port to confirm the transponder was still reading. It was. The PCF7945 chip in the fob head was fine, the car just had no blade to turn.
Cut a fresh HU92 blade on the van, matched to the original bitting from what I pulled out. Pressed it into a new 3452819-01 housing, transferred his existing remote board, and tested all three buttons: lock, unlock, trunk. Cycled the ignition a few times, let the CAS3 handshake settle.
He had called the MINI dealer earlier that day. They told him tow it in, leave it for a few days. He was on vacation. That was not going to work. I was done before his parking meter ran out.
