OverviewControlsMaintenanceRepairsDataIndex
The conceptThe BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to three hand-held transmit-
ters to control different devices such as
a garage door opener, alarm systems or
a door locking system. The BMW
Universal Transmitter recognizes and
"learns" the transmitted signal from each
of the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three channel buttons. Following
that, each of the devices can be actu-ated with the appropriately-programmed

channel button. The indicator lamp
flashes to confirm transmission of the
signal.
Before you sell your vehicle, the
programmed channel buttons should
be cleared. Refer to page 115 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. Also, comply
with the safety precautions of the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter.<
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 Universal Trans-
mitter's lamp may begin to flash in a
series of double flashes. If this occurs,
continue to hold the button on the
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 115.<
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 change codeIn order to determine whether the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter is equipped
with a change code system, you may
either refer to the instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter or
program a channel button as described
in the left column on page 114 under
"Programming."
Following that, press and hold the
programmed channel button of the
BMW Universal Transmitter. If the indi-
cator lamp of the BMW Universal
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two
seconds and then stays on continu-
ously, the original hand-held transmitter
is equipped with a change code
system. If the change code system is
available, program the channel buttons
as described in the right-hand column
on page 114 under "Programming a
hand-held transmitter with change
code."
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center
or call 1-800-355-3515.<
