The integrated Universal Remote Control in

the interior mirror can operate up to 3 func‐

tions of remote-controlled systems, such as

garage door drives, barriers, or lighting sys‐

tems. The Integrated Universal Remote Con‐

trol replaces up to 3 different hand-held trans‐

mitters. To operate the remote control, the

20 seconds.

3. Hold the hand-held transmitter for the sys‐

tem to be controlled approx. 1 to 3 in‐

ches/2.5 to 8 cm away from the buttons of

the interior mirror. The required distance

depends on the hand-held transmitter.

For systems with a rolling code radio system,

the integrated Universal Remote Control and

the system also have to be synchronized.

Please read the owner's manual to find out

how to synchronize the system.

4. Simultaneously press and hold the button

of the desired function on the hand-held

5. Release both buttons as soon as the LED

flashes more rapidly. The LED flashing

faster indicates that the button on the inte‐

rior mirror has been programmed.

1. Park the vehicle within range of the re‐

mote-controlled system.

2. Program the desired button on the interior

mirror as described.

If the LED does not flash faster after at

least 60 seconds, change the distance be‐

tween the interior mirror and the hand-held

transmitter and repeat the step. Several

more attempts at different distances may

be necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds be‐

tween attempts.

3. Locate and press the synchronizing button

on the system being programmed. You

have approx. 30 seconds for the next step.

4. Hold down the programmed button on the

interior mirror for approximately 3 seconds

and then release it. If necessary, repeat this

step up to three times in order to finish

synchronization. Once synchronization is

complete, the programmed function will be

carried out.
