Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. Equipment is also described
that is not available because of, for example,
selected options or coun try version. This also
applies to safety relate d functions and systems.
Integrated universal
remote control
The concept
By using the Integrated universal remote con-
trol, up to 3 functions of remote controlled
devices, e.g., garage door openers or lighting
systems, can be operated . As a result, the uni-
versal remote control can replace up to 3 differ-
ent remote controls. To operate, the buttons on
the rearview mirror must be programmed with
the desired functions. For programming, the
remote control for each device is needed.
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 object s are within the travel
range of the device.
Comply also with the safe ty instructions supplied
with the original hand-held transmitter. <
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions as a safe ty precaution, page 92.
Compatibility
Depending on your vehicle's equip-
ment, the glove compartment can be
ventilated and, if the cooling function is
switched on, can also be cooled.
For additional informatio n, please contact your
MINI dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515. A list of compatible remote controls is available
on the Internet at www.homelink.com.

for the programming.
Programming
General information
1.Switch on ignition.
2. Initial startup:
Press and hold the righ t and left buttons on
the rearview mirror for approx. 20 seconds
until the LED on the rearview mirror starts
flashing quickly. All the programming for the
buttons on the rearview mirror is deleted.
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 1in/2.5cm to 3in/8cm
from the buttons on the rearview mirror. The
required distance depends on the hand-
held transmitter.
4. Press both the desired function on the
remote and the button to be programmed
on the rearview mirror at the same time. The
LED flashes slowly at first.

5.As soon as the LED flashes rapidly, release
both buttons. The quick flashing indicates
that the button on the rearview mirror has
been programmed.
If the LED does not flash rapidly after
approx. 60 seconds, alter the distance
between the rearview mirror and hand-held
transmitter and repeat this step. Several
attempts at different distances may be nec-
essary. Wait at least 15 seconds before each
attempt.
Canada: if the progra mming was interrupted
by the hand-held transmitter, press and hold
the memory button and press the button on
the hand-held transmitter for 2 seconds and
release several times.
6. To program other functions on other but-
tons, repeat steps 3 to 5.
You can operate the system with the engine
running or with the ignition switched on.
Special features of hopping-code
transmitter systems
If the device cannot be operated after being
programmed repeatedly, then check if the
device to be operated is equipped with a hop-
ping-code system. In a ddition, check in the
operating instructions for the device or press the
programmed button on the rearview mirror for a
longer period of time. If the LED on the rearview
mirror first flashes quickly and then is on for 2
seconds, then the device is equipped with a
hopping-code system. The flashing and the LED
being on repeats itself for approx. 20 seconds.
In addition, for devices with hopping-code sys-
tems, the integrated universal remote control
and the device must be synchronized.
Information about synchronizing can be found
in the operating instructions for the device to be
set.
Programming will be easier with the aid of a sec-
ond person. Synchronizing:
1.
Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
Do not exceed the 164 ft/50 m range of the
remote-controlled device.
2. Program the particular button on the rear-
view mirrors as described.
3. Find and press the button for synchronizing
the device to be set. There remain approx.
30 seconds for the next step.
4. Press and hold the programmed button on
the rearview mirror for approx. 3 seconds
and then release. Repe at this step, possibly
up to three times, to complete the synchro-
nization. After the sy nchronization is com-
pleted, the programmed function is imple-
mented.
To reprogram individual buttons
1. Switch on ignition.
2. Press and hold the button to be pro-
grammed on the rearview mirror.
3. As soon as the LED on the rearview mirror
starts flashing slowly, hold the hand-held
transmitter of the devi ce to be operated
approx. 1in/2.5cm to 3in/8cm from the
buttons on the rearview mirror. The required
distance depends on the hand-held trans-
mitter.
4. Press and also hold the button with the
desired function on the hand-held transmit-
ter.
5. As soon as the LED on the rearview mirror
starts blinking faster, release both buttons.
The quick flashing indicates that the button
on the rearview mirror has been pro-
grammed. The device can now be operated
using the button on the rearview mirror.
Canada: if the LED is not flashing rapidly
after 60 seconds, chan ge the distance and
repeat the step or, if the programming was
interrupted by the hand-held transmitter,
press and hold the memory button and

with the original hand-held transmitter. <
The device, for example a garage door, can be
operated while the engine is running or when
the ignition is on by using the button on the
rearview mirror. In addition, while within the
reception range of the device, press the button
until the function is deleted. The LED on the
rearview mirror is constant ly on while the signal
is being transmitted.
Deleting stored functions
Press and hold the right and left buttons on the
rearview mirror for approx. 20 seconds until the
LED on the rearview mirror starts flashing

Calibrating the digital compass
The digital compass must be calibrated in the
following situations:
> The incorrect cardinal direction is displayed.
> The direction that is displayed does not
change even though the driving direction
changes.
> Not all cardinal directions are displayed.
Procedure

objects or overhead power lines near your vehicle, and that you have enough space to
drive in circles.
2. Set the compass zone th at currently applies.
3. Press the setting button approx. 6-7 seconds
to call up C. Then drive in a complete circle at
a maximum speed of 4 mph/7 km/h.
If the calibration is successful, the C will be
replaced by the directions.
Setting right/left-hand drive
Your digital compass is already set to right-hand
drive or left-hand drive at the factory, depend-
ing upon your vehicle.
