INTEGRATED UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL
*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
takes the place of up to three different con-
trol devices for different radio-remote-con-
trolled systems such as gate openers and
household alarm systems. The integrated
universal remote control detects and learns
the signal transmitted by the original con-
trol device.
The signal of an original control device can
be programmed onto one of the three
memory buttons 1. The system in question
can then be operated by means of the pro-
grammed memory button 1. Signal trans-
mission is indicated by LED 2.
If you decide to sell your vehicle one day, in
the interest of your own security, remem-
ber to delete the programs before the vehi-
cle leaves your possession, refer to page89.
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 movement area of the
system in question is clear of people, ani-
mals and inanimate obstructions, in order
to avoid possible injury or damage. Also
comply with the safety precautions issued
for the original control device.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol is shown on the pack-
aging or in the operating instruc-
tions of the original control device,
it is safe to assume that the remote-con-
trolled system is compatible with the inte-
grated universal remote control.
If you have any additional question,
please contact your MINI Dealer or
call: 1-800-355-3515.

Programming1 Memory buttons
2LEDFixed-code control device1. Switch on the ignition
2. For first-time start-up: press both outer
buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until
LED 2 flashes. This clears all three mem-
ory buttons 1
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 memory
buttons 1 may vary, depending on the
system of the original control device in
question.<

4. Simultaneously press the command but-
ton of the original control device and the
desired memory button 1 on the inte-
grated universal remote control. The LED
2 begins to flash slowly. Release both
buttons when LED 2 starts flashing rap-
idly. If LED 2 does not start to flash rap-
idly after approx. 15 seconds, change the
distance between the two devices
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program other
original control devices.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
You can operate the system with the igni-
tion key in position 2 or 3.
If the system cannot be operated
after repeated attempts at program-
ming, check whether the original control
device is equipped with an alternating-
code system. You can either check the oper-
ating instructions of the original control
device for this information, or you can
press and hold down the programmed
memory button 1 of the integrated univer-
sal remote control. If LED 2 of the inte-
grated universal remote control flashes
rapidly for a brief period and then remains
on for approx. two seconds, the original
control device is equipped with an alternat-
ing-code system. In this case, the memory
buttons 1 are programmed as described for
an alternating-code control device. instructions of the system in question in
order to program the integrated universal
remote control. Read through the operat-
ing instructions for information on syn-
chronization.
Observe the following additional instruc-
tions when you program an alternating-
code control device:
You will find programming easier if
you have the assistance of a second
person.<
1. Park your 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 programming
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the
target device, for example on the upper
part of 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.
Consult your MINI Dealer if you have
any questions.<
Deleting memory buttonsPress both outer buttons 1 for approx.
20 seconds until LED 2 flashes: all memory
buttons are cleared.
It is not possible to delete individual mem-
ory buttons 1.
