Integrated universal remote
control*
Programming
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 registers and
stores signals from 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. Then the respec-
tive device can be actuated with the mem-
ory button 1 programmed for its use with
the ignition key in position 2. The indicator
lamp 2 flashes to confirm transmission of
the signal.

1. Ignition key in position 2
2. When using for the first time: press both
outer buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds,
maintaining pressure until the indicator
lamp 2 starts to flash. The three mem-
ory buttons 1 are cleared
If you sell your vehicle one day, delete the
saved programs beforehand for your own
security, refer to page 95.
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.<
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter
at a distance of approx. 2 in/5 cm to
8 in/20 cm to the memory buttons 1
The required distance between
the hand-held transmitter and the
memory buttons 1 depends on the rele-
vant system of the original hand-held
transmitter used.<
Checking compatibility
4. Simultaneously press the transmit but-
ton on the original hand-held transmit-
ter and the desired memory button 1 on
the integrated universal remote control.
Initially, the indicator lamp 2 flashes
slowly. Release both buttons as soon
as the indicator lamp 2 flashes rapidly.
If the indicator lamp 2 does not flash
rapidly after approx. 15 seconds,
change the distance
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.

whether the original hand-held transmitter
uses an alternating-code system. Here,
either read the instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter or hold down the
programmed memory button 1 of the inte-
grated universal remote control. If the indi-
cator lamp 2 on the integrated universal
remote control flashes rapidly for a short
time then lights up for approx. 2 seconds,
this indicates that the original hand-held
transmitter uses an alternating-code sys-
tem. In the case of an alternating-code sys-
tem, program the memory buttons 1 as
described at Alternating-code hand-held
transmitters.<
Clearing 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.
The memory of individual memory but-
tons 1 cannot be cleared.
