Alarm system prepara-
tion package*
In vehicles with an alarm system preparation
package, LEDs are located on the tachometer. If
the vehicle is equipped with an alarm system,
the LEDs indicate the various functional states.
For more information on the alarm system, refer
to the separate Owner's Manual for the alarm
system.
Convenient access*
Convenient access enables you to enter your
vehicle without having to hold the remote con-
trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your
jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically detects
the remote control within the immediate vicinity
or in the passenger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following func-
tions:
>Unlocking/locking the vehicle
>Unlocking the tailgate separately
>Starting the engine
>Convenient operation
Functional requirement
>The vehicle or the tailgate can only be
locked when the vehicle detects that the
remote control currently in use is outside of
the vehicle.
>The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.>The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control is
inside the vehicle.
>Doors and tailgate must be closed to be able
to operate the windows and glass sunroof.
Comparison to standard remote controls
In general, there is no difference between using
convenient access or pressing the buttons on
the remote control to carry out the functions
mentioned above.
Instructions on opening and closing are found
starting on page18.
Special features regarding the use of convenient
access are described below.
If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing the windows or glass sunroof, the
system is checking whether a remote control is
inside the vehicle. Repeat the opening or closing
procedure, if necessary.<

attempt is made to start the engine: the
engine cannot be started. The remote
control is not inside the vehicle or is malfunc-
tioning. Take the remote control with you inside
the vehicle or have it checked. If necessary,

Integrated universal
remote control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmitters
for various remote-controlled devices, such as
door openers and house alarm systems. 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. The system in question can then
be operated by means of the programmed
memory button1. The LED2 flashes to confirm
transmission of the signal.
If you decide to sell your vehicle one day, in the
interest of your own security, remember to clear
the stored programs before the vehicle leaves
your possession, page70.
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 pivot-
ing or travel range of the device being operated.
Comply 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
MINI Dealer or call: 1-800-355-3515.

Programming
1Memory buttons
2LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Switch on the ignition, page35.
2.When starting operation for the first time:
press both outer memory buttons1 for
approx. 20 seconds until the LED2 flashes
rapidly. All stored programs are cleared.
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 2 to 12 in/5 to 30 cm
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.

The corresponding memory button 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
You can operate the system with the engine
running or with the ignition switched on.
If the system fails to function even after
repeated programming, check whether
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter-
nating-code system. To do so, either read the
instructions for the original hand-held transmit-
ter or hold down the programmed memory
button1 of the integrated universal remote con-
trol. If the LED2 on the integrated universal
remote control flashes rapidly for a short while
and then remains lit for about two seconds, the
original hand-held transmitter uses an alternat-
ing-code system. If it uses an alternating-code
system, program the memory buttons1 as
described under Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters.<
Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters
To program the integrated universal remote
control, consult the operating instructions for
the device to be set. You will find information
there on the possibilities for synchronization.
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 in the section
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3.Locate the button on the receiver of the
device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit.
4.Press the button on the receiver of the
device to be set. After step 4, you have
approx. 30 seconds for the next step 5.
5.Press the programmed memory button1 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.
Clearing stored programs
Press both outer memory buttons1 for approx.
20 seconds until the LED2 flashes: all stored
programs are cleared.
It is not possible to clear individual programs.
Glove compartment
Opening
Press the button to open the cover.
The light in the glove compartment comes on.
Closing
Fold cover up.
To prevent injury in the event of an acci-
dent, close the glove compartment after
use while the vehicle is being driven.<
Ventilation*
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, it may
be possible to ventilate the glove compartment.
