The corresponding memory button 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
The equipment can be used as of ignition
key position 2.
If the device cannot be operated after
repeated programming, check
whether the original hand-held transmitter
uses an alternating-code system. To do so,
either read the instructions of the original
hand-held transmitter or press and hold
down the programmed memory button 1 of
the integrated universal remote control. If
the indicator lamp 2 on the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes rapidly for a
short time then lights up for approx. 2 sec-
onds, this indicates that the original hand-
held transmitter uses an alternating-code
system. In the case of an alternating-code
system, program the memory buttons 1 as
described at the section on alternating-
code transmitters.<
Alternating-code transmitters
Consult the operating instructions of the
unit you wish to set when programming the
universal remote control. You will find infor-
mation there on the possibilities for syn-
chronization.
When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please
observe the following supplementary
instructions:
Programming will be easier with the
aid of a second person.<
1.Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device
2.Program the integrated universal
remote control as described above at
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
3.Locate the button at the receiver of the
equipment to be set, e.g. on the drive
4.Press the button on the receiver of the
device you want to set up. After step 4,
you have approx. 30 seconds for 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
hand-held transmitter.
If you have questions, please contact
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
Center.<
Clearing the memory buttons
Press both outer buttons 1 of the inte-
grated universal remote control for approx.
20 seconds, maintaining pressure until the
indicator lamp 2 starts to flash. All three
memory buttons are cleared.
