BMW Universal Transmitter
*
The concept The BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to three handheld transmit-
ters of different devices such as
garage-door openers, alarm systems,
or door locking systems. The BMW
Universal Transmitter recognizes and
"learns" the transmitted signal of each
of the original handheld transmitters.
The signal of an original handheld
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three channel keys. Following
that, each of the devices can be actu-
ated with the appropriately-
programmed channel key. The indicator
lamp flashes to confirm transmission of
the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
channel keys should be cleared as
described on page 110.
During programming and before
every remote actuation of a
programmed device by the BMW
Universal Transmitter, check to be sure
that there are no persons, animals or
objects within the actuation range of
the device in order to prevent possible
injuries or damage. Also, comply with
the safety precautions of the original
handheld transmitter.<
To Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. This
may not be long enough to program the
BMW Universal Transmitter. If you are
programming from one of these hand-
held transmitters, the Universal Trans-
mitter's light may begin to flash in a
series of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the button of the
Universal Transmitter while you reacti-
vate your hand-held transmitter. You
may have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
Before programming, read the
"User information" section on
page 110.<
Original handheld transmitter
If this symbol is present on the
packaging or in the instructions
of the original handheld trans-
mitter, it may be assumed that this
handheld transmitter is compatible with
the BMW Universal Transmitter.
Checking for the conversion code To determine whether the original
handheld transmitter is provided with a
conversion-code system, you may
either read the instructions for the orig-
inal handheld transmitter or program a
channel key as described on the next
page (left-hand column under
"Programming").
Then press and hold the programmed
channel key of the BMW Universal
Transmitter. If the indicator lamp of the
BMW Universal Transmitter flashes for
two seconds and then comes on
steadily, the original handheld trans-
mitter is provided with a conversion-
code system. With a conversion code
system, program the channel keys as
described on the next page (right-hand
column under "Programming a hand-
held transmitter with conversion code").
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center
or call 1-800-355-3515.
