Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held trans-
mitters for various remote-controlled
accessories, such as door openers and
house alarm systems. The integrated uni-
versal remote control registers and stores
signals from the original hand-held trans-
mitters.
The signal of an original hand-held trans-
mitter can be programmed on one of the
three memory keys1. Following that, each
of the devices can be actuated with the
appropriately-programmed memory key1.
The indicator lamp 2 flashes to confirm
transmission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be
sure to delete the stored programs before-
hand for your safety, refer to page113.
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 swiveling and movement range
of the device. Also, comply with the safety
precautions of the original hand-held trans-
mitter.<
Checking 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 center or
call 1-800-355-3515.

Programming
1Memory keys
2Indicator lamp
Fixed-code hand-held transmitter
1.Switch on the ignition
2.When using for the first time: press both
outer keys1 for approx. 20 seconds,
maintaining pressure until the indicator
lamp2 starts to flash. The three mem-
ory keys1 are cleared
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter
at a distance of approx. 2 in/5 cm to
8 in/20 cm from the memory keys1
The required distance between
the hand-held transmitter and
memory keys1 depends on the relevant
system of the original hand-held trans-
mitter used.<
4.Simultaneously press the transmit key
on the original hand-held transmitter
and the desired memory key1 of the
integrated universal remote control.
Initially, the indicator lamp2 flashes
slowly. Release both keys as soon as
the indicator 2 lamp flashes rapidly. If
the indicator lamp2 does not flash rap-
idly after approx. 15 seconds, change
the distance
5.To program other original hand-held
transmitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The corresponding memory key1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
The device can be operated as of ignition
on.
If the device can not 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 key1 of
the integrated universal remote control.
If the indicator lamp2 on the integrated
universal remote control flashes quickly
for a brief period and then remains lit up
for approx. two seconds, this indicates
that the original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with an alternating-code system.
In the case of an alternating-code system,
program the memory keys1 as described
at the section on alternating-code transmit-
ters.<
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 at the sec-
tion on fixed-code hand-held transmit-
ters
3.Localize the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up, e.g. on the
upper section of the motor
4.Press the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up. After step 4,
you have approx. 30 seconds for step 55.Press the programmed memory key1
on the integrated universal remote con-
trol three times.
The corresponding memory key1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
If you have any additional questions,
please contact your BMW center.<
Clearing memory keys
Individual memory keys1 can not be
cleared. However, you clear all three mem-
ory keys1 together as follows:
Press both outer keys1 of the integrated
universal remote control for approx.
20 seconds, maintaining pressure until the
indicator lamp2 starts to flash.

Hands-free system
The hands-free microphone is located on
the left-hand side on the headliner.
The hands-free system is activated when-
ever you establish or receive a call using
the following:
>Buttons on the steering wheel, page16
>Voice command system, page26,
except for incoming calls
>Control Center, page175
>Telephone keypad, folding, page176.
Volume adjustment
You can adjust the volume for the hands-
free unit:
Turn this button during a call to select the
desired volume.
The hands-free unit will remain at this vol-
ume level, even if the other audio sources
are set to minimum volume.
The system automatically selects your
individual volume setting each time
you unlock the vehicle using your personal
remote control.<
Starting an emergency call
1.To open the protective cover:
Briefly press the protective cover
2.Press the emergency call button for at
least 2 seconds.
The indicator lamp in the button lights
up. As soon as the voice connection to
the BMW Assist response center has
been established, the indicator lamp
flashes.
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Ignition key from radio position
>The wireless communications network
is available
>The emergency call system is operable.
If the current position of your vehicle can be
determined with vehicles with an activated
BMW Assist, it will be transmitted to the
BMW Assist response center.
A navigation CD/DVD must be
inserted, as otherwise the current
vehicle position cannot be determined.
If the navigation system is inoperative, the
current position of the vehicle is not trans-
mitted.<
Following transmission of the data a confir-
mation report will appear on the Control
Display. The response center can initiate
immediate action for emergency assis-
tance.
If it is repeatedly not possible to transfer
the data, a voice connection to the BMW
Assist response center will be established.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehi-
cle until the connection has been
established. You will then be able to pro-
