Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various remote-controlled devices,
such as door openers and house alarm sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote control
registers and stores signals from the original
hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons1. After this, the programmed
memory button1 will operate the system in
question. The LED2 flashes to confirm trans-
mission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to
delete the stored programs beforehand for your
safety, refer to page102.
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 peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the pivoting or
travel range of the device being operated. Com-
ply also with the safety instructions supplied
with the original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol appears on the package
or in the instructions supplied with the
original hand-held transmitter, you can
assume that the radio remote control device will
be compatible with the integrated universal
remote control.
For additional information, please contact your
BMW center or call: 1-800-355-3515.
You can also obtain information on the Internet

Programming
1Memory buttons
2LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Switch on the ignition, refer to page52.
2.When starting operation for the first time:
Press both outer memory buttons1 for
approx. 20 seconds until the LED2 flashes.
The three memory buttons are cleared.
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 2to 8in/5to 20cm from
the memory buttons1.
The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and the mem-
ory buttons1 depends on the system of the
respective original hand-held transmitter
used.<
4.Simultaneously press the transmit key on
the original hand-held transmitter and the
desired memory button 1 on the integrated
universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes
slowly at first. As soon as the LED2 flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED2
does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec-
onds, alter the distance.
5.To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService supports you when communicat-
ing with a BMW center. The built-in car phone
can be used to transmit data on the service sta-
tus of your vehicle or legally mandated inspec-
tions directly to your BMW center. This is the
same data that is also stored for CBS Condition
Based Service in the remote control. Your BMW
center can then contact you, and you can make
an appointment that suits you while you are still
on the road. Your advantage here is that your
BMW center can prepare in advance for the
required maintenance work. The TeleService
functions are country-specific: depending on
the country in which you are driving, data on
your vehicle's service status or legally man-
dated inspections are transmitted to your BMW
center either automatically before a service due
date or when you place a call to the BMW cen-
ter. Your BMW center will be glad to provide
more detailed information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with other services in
addition to TeleService. For example, the posi-
tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to
the BMW Assist response center if an emer-
gency call
* has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. Data transmission,
e.g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, differs
from country to country.
A subscriber contract for BMW Assist must be
signed and enabling must be completed before
you can use BMW Assist.
If your contract expires, the car phone can be
deactivated by a BMW center without you hav-
ing to visit a BMW center. Once the car phone
has been deactivated, emergency calls are not
possible. The car phone can be reactivated by a
BMW center after signing a new contract.You can also utilize BMW Assist services via the
Internet. The range of services offered is
expanded continually.
Requirements
You can use TeleService or BMW Assist when
the following requirements are met:
>The installed car phone is logged on to a
mobile telephone network. This network
must be capable of transmitting the ser-
vices.
>To transmit position data, the vehicle must
be able to determine the current position.
This can be displayed on the Control Dis-
play.
>A GPS signal must be available in order for
TeleService or BMW Assist to be enabled
and updated.
>For BMW Assist: you must have applied for
BMW Assist at your BMW center or BMW
customer service.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be
enabled.
Requirements
>Make sure that the vehicle can determine its
current location. Reception is best when
you have an unobstructed view to the sky.
>Leave radio readiness switched on while
connecting to the system.
Enabling
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page16.
