Integrated universal remote control*The conceptThe integrated universal remote control
takes the place of up to three different
handheld transmitters belonging to var-
ious radio remote control devices, such
as door openers and home alarm sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote
control recognizes and learns the signal
sent by each original control device.
The signal of an original control device
can be programmed into one of the
three memory buttons 1. Afterwards,
the programmed memory button 1 can
be used to operate the corresponding
device. The signal transmission is indi-
cated by the indicator lamp 2.
Before selling the vehicle, clear the
memory buttons 1, refer to page 114.
While programming is in progress
and before operating any pro-
grammed system by remote control
using the integrated universal remote
control, make sure that the area of
movement of the system in question is
clear of people, animals and inanimate
obstructions, in order to avoid possible
injury or damage. Also comply with the
safety precautions issued for the origi-
nal control device.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol is depicted on the
packaging or in the operating
instructions of the original con-
trol device, it is safe to assume that the
remote-controlled system is compatible
with the integrated universal remote
control.
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center
or call 1-800-355-3515.

approx. 20 seconds until the indica-
tor lamp 2 flashes. The three memory
buttons 1 are cleared

113
3. Hold the original control device
approx. 2 to 8 in / 5 to 20 cm away
from memory buttons 1.
The required distance between
the control device and the mem-
ory buttons 1 may vary, depending on
the system of the original control device
in question.<
4. Simultaneously press the command
button of the original control device
and the desired memory button 1 on
the integrated universal remote con-
trol. Indicator lamp 2 starts to flash
slowly. When indicator lamp 2
flashes rapidly, release both but-
tons. If the indicator lamp 2 does not
flash rapidly after approx.
15 seconds, select a different dis-
tance between the two devices
5. To program other original control
devices, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
The system can be operated from igni-
tion key position 2.
If the system cannot be operated
after repeated attempts at pro-
gramming, check whether the original
control device is equipped with an
alternating-code system. You can either
check the operating instructions of the
original control device for this informa-
tion, or you can press and hold down
the programmed memory button 1 of
the integrated universal remote control.
If indicator lamp 2 of the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes rapidly for
a brief period and then remains on for
approx. 2 seconds, the original control
device is equipped with an alternating-
code system. In this case, you have to
program the memory buttons 1 as
described below for an alternating-
code control device.<
Programming an alternating-code
control deviceYou will need to follow the operating
instructions of the system in question in
order to program the integrated univer-
sal remote control. Read through the
operating instructions for information
on synchronization. Comply with the
following additional instructions when
you program an alternating-code con-
trol device:
You will find programming easier if
you have the assistance of
another person.<
1. Park the vehicle within range of the
radio remote controlled device
2. Program the integrated universal
remote control as described above in
the section on fixed-code program-
ming
3. Locate the button on the receiver of
the target device, for example on the
drive
4. Press the button on the receiver of
the target device. Once you have
completed step 4, you have approx.
30 seconds to complete step 5
5. Press the programmed memory
button 1 of the integrated universal
remote control three times.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
