dealer price for mini cooper key fob
#52
Bummer...I still needed one key for the second Mini that I purchased.
#53
I recommended MINI of Peabody to a MINI owner earlier this month (Feb 2020) and they responded a few days ago that they were able to order from them via the mail. $143 for the round fob, $33 for the pull out key and $13.50 shipping via UPS. This owner is in New Jersey so they don't require an in-person visit.
Hope this helps-

Not Anymore...
After nearly ten years & 92,000 miles I traded my '13 Clubman a couple weeks ago. Done w/exorbitant dealer shop rates, ludicrous mark-ups for OEM parts.
Need a clutch?
Take the engine out.
Need a timing chain & guides?
Take the engine out.
Why spend $6,000 in repairs on a vehicle that's worth maybe $5,000 in trade given that something else pricey to get fixed'll break soon?
Vehicles not well-suited to NA driving conditions.

Digested this thread and decided to reach out to MINI Peabody...
as of Nov 2022, the cost for a 2nd key fob is $360 + tax through MINI Peabody
I also checked my local MINI in Ramsey, NJ - the cost there is $395 + tax
Not surprising, just passing along the updated info

Neither of those jobs require the removal of the engine.
the closest is the clutch change, where you have to drop the transmission. But that's relatively easy compared to removing the engine.
The jobs are easier (other than all the things you need to remove in order to remove the engine) if you take the engine out, but it's not required. If they told you it had to come out, they were charging you more to make their jobs a little easier and pad thier pocketbook a bit more....

If your replacing the fob and slide in key w/o comfort access the $230 sounds about right with taxes, add around $60 to that if you have comfort access and then programming on top of that only if you have comfort access and want the comfort access feature to work. If not all you do is put the new fob in the slot and start the car and it finishes programming itself to the car. Keys and fobs can only be ordered from a MINI dealer, anyone that sells them on the internet and says take them to the dealer for programming won't work.

You could, but to find a separate wiring harness, sensors, and CA module may not be cheap. Not only that, you have to change the keyfob as in program a CA fob and add the option to the CAS.
