Concept  
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  
buttons on the interior mirror must be pro‐  
grammed with the desired functions. The  
hand-held transmitter for the particular system  
is required in order to program the remote con‐  
trol.

Safety information  
WARNING  
Programming  
Body parts can be jammed when operat‐  
ing remote-controlled systems, for instance  
the garage door, using the integrated Universal  
Remote Control. There is a risk of injury or risk  
of damage to property. Make sure that the area  
of movement of the respective system is clear  
during programming and operation. Also follow  
General information  
1. Switch on the ignition.  
2. Initial setup:

mirror.  
flashing rapidly and then stays lit constantly for  
2 seconds, the system features a rolling code  
radio system. Flashing and continuous illumi‐  
nation of the LED will repeat for approximately  
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  
transmitter and the button to be program‐  
med on the interior mirror. The LED on the  
interior mirror will begin flashing slowly.  
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a sec‐  
ond person.  
Synchronizing the universal remote control  
with the system:  
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.  
Canada: if programming with the hand-  
held transmitter was interrupted, hold  
down the interior mirror button and repeat‐  
edly press and release the hand-held  
transmitter button for 2 seconds.  
Reprogramming individual buttons  
1. Switch on the ignition.  
6. To program other functions on other but‐  
tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.  
The systems can be controlled using the inte‐  
rior mirror buttons.  
2. Press and hold the interior mirror button to  
be programmed.  
3. As soon as the interior mirror LED starts  
flashing slowly, hold the hand-held trans‐  
mitter for the system to be controlled ap‐  
prox. 1 to 3 inches/2.5 to 8 cm away from  
the buttons of the interior mirror. The re‐  
quired distance depends on the hand-held  
transmitter.  
Special feature of the rolling code  
wireless system  
If you are unable to operate the system after  
repeated programming, please check if the  
system to be controlled features a rolling code  
radio system.  
Read the system's owner's manual, or press
