OverviewControlsMaintenanceRepairsDataIndex
The conceptThe BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to 3 hand-held transmitters,
e.g. for garage-door openers, alarm
systems or a door-locking system. The
BMW Universal Transmitter recognizes
and "learns" the signal transmitted from
each of the original hand-held transmit-
ters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed to one
of the three channel keys. Following
that, each of the devices can be actu-
ated with the appropriately-pro-
grammed channel key. The indicator
lamp flashes to confirm transmission of
the signal.
Before you sell your vehicle, the pro-
gram data in the channel keys should
be deleted. Refer to page 95 for the
description of this process.
To prevent potential injuries or
damage: during the programming
operation and before every remote trig-
gering of a programmed device using
the BMW Universal Transmitter, be sure
that there are no persons, animals or
objects within the range of movement of
the respective device. Read and comply
with the safety instructions for the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter also.<
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 BMW Universal
Transmitter's light may begin to flash in
a series of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the key on the BMW
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's information" section on
page 95.< The original hand-held transmitter
If this symbol is depicted on
the packaging or in the user's
instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter, it may be
assumed that this original hand-held
transmitter is compatible with the BMW
Universal Transmitter.
Checking for the conversion codeIn order to determine whether the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter is equipped
with a conversion code system, you
may either refer to the instructions for
the original hand-held transmitter or
program a channel key as described in
the left-hand column on page 94 under
"Programming."
Following that, press and hold the pro-
grammed channel key on the BMW Uni-
versal Transmitter. If the indicator lamp
on the BMW Universal Transmitter
flashes rapidly for two seconds and
then stays on continuously, the original
hand-held transmitter is equipped with
a conversion code system. If the con-
version code system is available, pro-
gram the channel keys as described on
page 94 in the right-hand column under
"Programming a hand-held transmitter
with conversion code."
