Vehicle Defence Keys

At Vehicle Defence Keys, we specialise in MINI and BMW FRM repair services in Kent and surrounding areas. If you’re experiencing electrical issues with your vehicle, such as problems with windows, lights, or central locking, it could be due to a malfunctioning Footwell Module (FRM). Our expert technicians provide fast, reliable, and affordable FRM repair services, ensuring your vehicle’s electrical systems are restored to full functionality.
Kent’s only fully mobile BMW/MINI FRM module diagnostics, repair, and reprogramming service.
Been advised that your FRM (Footwell Module) must be removed and sent away for repair?
Minimise vehicle downtime — Vehicle Defence Keys provides on-site, same-day FRM fault diagnosis, software repair, coding, and refitting without the need to ship the unit off-site.

A faulty FRM (Footwell Module) in your BMW or MINI can disable essential vehicle lighting, making your car illegal to drive on UK roads.
With our mobile service covering the Midlands, there’s no need to risk driving an unroadworthy vehicle or incur costly recovery fees — we come to you and repair it on-site.

What is the Footwell Module (FRM)?

The Footwell Module (FRM) is an essential component of your MINI or BMW vehicle’s electrical system. It controls various functions, including:

  • Window Control

  • Central Locking

  • Interior Lighting

  • Exterior Lighting (Headlights, Tail Lights, Indicators)

  • Wiper Functions

If your FRM is malfunctioning, it can lead to issues such as non-functioning lights, windows that won’t roll up or down, problems with keyless entry, or the car’s interior and exterior lights failing to work properly.

Smart Audi car key had gone through the washing machine in a sweatshirt pocket 😔 It was Sunday afternoon so made contact by a web form with Vehicle Defense Keys in the hope of getting a replacement before lunchtime Monday. Received an almost instant WhatsApp reply, price agreed and the locksmith attended by 8:45 next day. Perfect working replacement before 10:00 by a friendly, helpful professional. Cheaper by £120 than the Audi main dealership.
