About Mini Car Key Systems — BMW CAS, FEM & Comfort Access
Mini vehicles are built on BMW Group architecture and share the same key systems as their BMW counterparts. R-series Mini (2006–2013) uses CAS3/CAS3+ (Car Access System), which is identical to the system used on BMW E-series. F-series Mini (2014–2021) uses CAS4/CAS4+, equivalent to BMW F-series. The F60 Countryman and newer variants use FEM (Front Electronics Module), the same system as BMW G-series.
Mini's Comfort Access — push-button start and proximity keyless entry — is available across all Mini trim levels above Classic. Comfort Access fob programming requires advanced diagnostic equipment and, on post-2019 Mini F-series and all FEM-based models, manufacturer security access. Lee programmes Mini Comfort Access keys on-site across Chorlton, Withington, and all of Greater Manchester.
Because Mini and BMW share the same platform, Lee's full BMW key replacement accreditation covers Mini entirely — the same CAS3/CAS4/FEM equipment, the same SERMI certification, the same on-site diagnostic capability. More on Mini's key systems at mini.co.uk ↗.
