Integrated universal remote

control*

Programming

The concept

The integrated universal remote control

replaces up to three different hand-held trans-

mitters for various items of radio-controlled

equipment such as door openers and house

alarm systems. The integrated universal remote

control registers and stores signals from the

original hand-held transmitters.

The signal of an original hand-held transmitter

can be programmed on one of the three mem-

ory buttons 1. Then with the ignition switched

on, this programmed memory button 1 can be

used to operate the respective feature. The

LED 2 flashes to confirm transmission of the

signal.

1. Switch on ignition, refer to page 50.

If you sell your vehicle one day, delete the saved

programs beforehand for your own security,

refer to page 91.

2. When using for the first time: press both

outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 sec-

onds until the LED 2 flashes. all stored pro-

grams are deleted.

To prevent possible damage or injury,

before programming or using the inte-

grated universal remote control, always inspect

the immediate area to make certain that no peo-

ple, animals or objects are within the travel

range of the device. Also, comply with the

safety precautions of the original hand-held

transmitter.<

3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a

distance of approx. 2 in/5 cm to 8 in/20 cm

from the memory buttons 1.

The required distance between the

hand-held transmitter and the mem-

ory buttons 1 depends on the particular

system of the original hand-held transmitter

used.<

Checking compatibility

4. Simultaneously press the transmit key on

the original hand-held transmitter and the

desired memory button 1 on the integrated

universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes

slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes

rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2

does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec-

onds, alter the distance.

If you see this symbol on the packaging

or in the manual supplied with the orig-

inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to

assume that it is compatible with the integrated

universal remote control.

If you have additional questions, please

contact your BMW center or call:

You can operate the system when the engine is

running or when the ignition is switched on.

If you have any additional questions,

please contact your BMW center.<

If the device can not be used after

repeated programming, check whether

Deleting stored programs

the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter-

nating-code system. To do so, either read the

instructions for the original hand-held transmit-

ter or hold down the programmed memory

button 1 of the integrated universal remote

control. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal

remote control flashes rapidly for a short time

and then remains lit for approx. 2 seconds, this

indicates that the original hand-held transmitter

uses an alternating-code system. In the case of

an alternating-code system, program the mem-

ory buttons 1 as described at Alternating-code

transmitters.<

Press both outer buttons 1 for approx. 20 sec-

onds, maintaining pressure until the LED 2

starts to flash: all stored programs are deleted.

Programs cannot be deleted individually.
