The principle
The integrated universal remote control
replaces up to three hand-held remote
controls for various other systems or
devices, for example a gate opener,
alarm or door locking system. The inte-
grated universal remote control identi-
fies and "learns" the signals transmitted
by the original control devices.
The signal from an original hand-held
remote control can be programmed to
one of the three channel buttons. After
this, the programmed channel button
will operate the system in question.
Transmission of the signal is shown by
the indicator light.
Before selling the car, the channel
buttons should be erased, as described
on page 124.
During the programming operation
and before a programmed system
is operated with the integrated
universal remote control, make sure
that no persons, animals or objects are
within the system's range of movement,
in order to avoid possible injury or
damage. Comply also with the safety
instructions supplied with the original
remote control.

The original hand-held remote
control
If this symbol appears on the
pack or in the instructions
supplied with the original
remote control, you can assume that it
will be compatible with the integrated
universal remote control.
Checking for alternating code
To check whether the original handheld
remote control is equipped with an
alternating code system, either study
the instructions supplied with it or
program a channel button as described
on page 123, left-hand column, under
the heading "Programming".
After this, hold down the programmed
channel button on the integrated
universal remote control. If the indicator
light on the integrated universal remote
control flashes rapidly for two seconds
and then remains on, the original
control device uses an alternating code.
In this case, program the channel
buttons as described on page 123,
right-hand column under the heading
"Programming an alternating-code
transmitter".
If you have any queries in this
connection, please contact BMW
