Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
replaces up to three different hand-held
transmitters for various items of radio-con-
trolled equipment such as door openers
and house alarm systems. The integrated
universal remote control recognizes and
learns the transmitted signal of each of the
original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held trans-
mitter can be programmed on one of the
three memory buttons 1. Following that,
each of the devices can be actuated with
the appropriately programmed memory
button 1. The indicator lamp 2 flashes to
confirm transmission of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
memory buttons 1 should be cleared, refer
to page 67.
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 objects are
within the travel range of the device. Also,
comply with the safety precautions of the
original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking the compatibility
If you see this symbol on the pack-
aging or in the manual supplied with
the original hand-held transmitter, it
is safe to assume that it is compatible with
the integrated universal remote control.
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center or call
1-800-355-3515.

2.For initial use:
Press both outer buttons 1 for approx.
20 seconds, maintaining pressure until

The required distance between

mitter used.<

ton on the original hand-held transmit-
ter and the desired memory key 1 of the
integrated universal remote control. Ini-

the indicator lamp 2 does not flash rap-
idly after approx. 15 seconds, change
the distance
