Interior equipment
Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
This system can replace up to three different
hand-held transmitters for various types of re‐
mote-controlled equipment, such as garage
doors or lighting systems.
The hand-held transmitter signal can be pro‐
grammed on one of the three memory buttons.
The
corresponding device can then be operated
using the programmed memory button.
The LED indicates that a signal is being trans‐
mitted.
When selling the vehicle, delete the stored pro‐
grams for security reasons.
During programming
During programming and before activat‐
ing a device using the integrated universal re‐
mote control, ensure that there are no people,
animals or objects in the range of movement of
the remote-controlled device; otherwise, there
is a risk of injury or damage.
Also follow the safety instructions of the hand-
held transmitter.◀
Compatibility
If this symbol is printed on the packaging
or in the instructions of the hand-held
transmitter, the remote-controlled de‐
vice is generally compatible with the universal
remote control.
If you have any questions, please contact:
▷ Your service center.
▷ www.homelink.com on the Internet. Programming

2. Initial setup:
Press both outer memory buttons 1 for ap‐
prox. 20 seconds until the LED flashes.
All

programs of the three memory buttons 1
are cleared.
3. Hold the hand-held transmitter at a distance
of approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm from the
memory buttons.
The required distance depends on the par‐
ticular hand-held transmitter.
4. Simultaneously press the transmit button of
the hand-held transmitter and the memory
button of the integrated universal remote
control.
The LED flashes slowly.
5. Release both buttons when the LED flashes
rapidly.
If

the LED does not flash rapidly after approx.
60 seconds, change the distance and repeat
the step.

lease the button on the hand-held transmit‐
ter several times for 2 seconds.
6. To program additional hand-held transmit‐
ters, repeat steps 3 to 5.
The device can be operated using the memory
button with the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
Malfunction
If the device cannot be used after repeated at‐
tempts at programming, please check whether
the hand-held transmitter is equipped with an
alternating code system.
To do so:
▷ Read the instructions of the hand-held
transmitter.
▷ Press the memory button of the universal
remote control for an extended period.
If the LED of the integrated universal remote
control flashes quickly for a short period and
then lights up continuously, the hand-held
transmitter
is equipped with an alternating code
system.
In this case, program the memory buttons as
described under Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters.
Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters
Please obtain information on synchronizing the
device in the operating manual of the device be‐
ing set up.
Programming will be easier with the aid of a sec‐
ond person.
1. Park the vehicle within range of the remote-
controlled device.
2. Program the integrated universal remote
control as described above under Fixed-
code hand-held transmitters.
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the de‐
vice to be set, e.g., on the drive. 4.
Press the button on the receiver of the de‐
vice

to be set. You have approx. 30 seconds
for the next step.
5. Press the programmed memory button of
the integrated universal remote control for
approx. 3 seconds. Repeat this step up to
three times if necessary.
The device can be operated using the memory
button with the engine running or the ignition
switched on.
Reassigning individual programs
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Hold the hand-held transmitter at a distance
of approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm from the
memory buttons.
The required distance depends on the par‐
ticular hand-held transmitter.
3. Press the memory button of the integrated
universal remote control.
4. If the LED flashes slowly after approx.
20 seconds, press the transmit button on
the hand-held transmitter.
5. Release both buttons when the LED flashes
rapidly.
If

the LED does not flash rapidly after approx.
60 seconds, change the distance and repeat
the step.
Canada: if the LED does not flash rapidly af‐
ter approx. 60 seconds, change the distance
and repeat the step. If programming was
aborted by the hand-held transmitter, hold
down the memory button and press and re‐
lease the button on the hand-held transmit‐
ter several times for 2 seconds.
Deleting all stored programs
Press both outer memory buttons 1 for ap‐
prox. 20 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly.
All stored programs are deleted.
