Integrated universal

remote control*

The concept

Programming

The integrated universal remote control can

replace as many as three hand-held transmitters

for various remote-controlled devices, such as

garage and gate openers and lighting systems.

The integrated universal remote control regis-

ters 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. The system in question can then

be operated by means of the programmed

memory button 1. The LED 2 flashes to confirm

transmission of the signal.

If you decide to sell your vehicle one day, in the

interest of your own security, remember to clear

the stored programs before the vehicle leaves

your possession, page 77.

1. Switch on the ignition, page 38.

2. When starting operation for the first time:

Press both outer memory buttons 1 for

approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes

rapidly. All stored programs are cleared.

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

people, animals or objects are within the pivot-

ing or travel range of the device being operated.

Comply also with the safety instructions supplied

with the original hand-held transmitter.<

3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a

distance of approx. 2 in to 12/5 to 30 cm in

from the memory buttons 1.

The required distance between the

hand-held transmitter and the mem-

ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the

respective original hand-held transmitter

used.<

Checking compatibility

If this symbol appears on the package

or in the instructions supplied with the

original hand-held transmitter, you can

assume that the radio remote control device is

compatible with the integrated universal remote

control.

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.

For additional information, please contact your

MINI dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515.

You can also obtain information on the Internet

at:

5. To program other original hand-held trans-

mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The corresponding memory button 1 is now

hand-held transmitter.

The corresponding memory button 1 is now

hand-held transmitter.

You can operate the system with the engine

running or with the ignition switched on.

Clearing stored programs

Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx.

20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes: all stored

programs are cleared.

If the system fails to function even after

repeated programming, check whether

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 con-

trol. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal

remote control flashes rapidly and then remains

lit for about two seconds, the original hand-held

transmitter uses an alternating-code system. If it

uses an alternating-code system, program the

memory buttons 1 as described under Alternat-

ing-code hand-held transmitters.<

It is not possible to clear individual programs.

Reassigning individual programs

1. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a

distance of approx. 2 in to 12/5 to 30 cm in

from the memory buttons 1.

The required distance between the

hand-held transmitter and the mem-

ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the

respective original hand-held transmitter

used.<

2. Press the desired memory button 1 of the

Alternating-code hand-held

transmitters

integrated universal remote control.

3. If the LED 2 flashes slowly after approx.

20 seconds, press the transmit key of the

original hand-held transmitter and release

both buttons as soon as the LED 2 flashes

rapidly.

To program the integrated universal remote

control, consult the operating instructions for

the device to be set. You will find information

there on the possibilities for synchronization or

programming of additional hand-held transmit-

ters.

When programming hand-held transmitters that

employ an alternating code, please observe the

following supplementary instructions:

If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after

approx. 15 seconds, alter the distance and

repeat this step.

Programming will be easier with the aid of

a second person.<
