Unfortunately, we don't know of a way to reprogram the key fob on Gen2 Minis. 

I found this thread on the NAM forum pages that might help.

Good luck

My MCS remote is damaged (Key blade is okay) and trying find how to program a Virgin Remote Key.

I have seen few posts saying turn the key 3 times etc.. Is that for old key type or for the new round shape Smart key fobs.? Can I program the smart key with K CAN Cable and a computer or a Programming tool.? If how much that key program tool cost.? There are few available in market, upon contacting them most of them said it won't work on Mini..
Is your 2007 Mini Cooper S a hardtop or convertible?
