Practical interior equipment

Integrated universal remote
control*
The principle
The integrated universal remote control
replaces up to three different hand-held trans-
mitters for various systems or devices that are
operated by radio remote control, for example a
garage door or gate opener or lighting systems.
The integrated universal remote control identi-
fies and learns the signals transmitted by the
original hand-held transmitters.
The signal from an original hand-held transmit-
ter can be programmed to one of the three
memory buttons 1. After this, the programmed
memory button 1 will operate the system in
question. Transmission of the signal is shown
by the LED 2.
If and when you decide to sell your car, in the
interests of security clear the programmed
functions first, see page 114.
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 pivoting or movement range of
the system in question, otherwise there is a risk
of injury or damage. Comply also with the safety
instructions supplied with the original hand-
held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol appears on the pack or in
the instructions supplied with the origi-
nal hand-held transmitter, you can
assume that the radio remote control device will
be compatible with the integrated universal
remote control.
A list of compatible hand-held transmitters can
be found on the Internet at www.homelink.com.

Programming
1 Memory buttons
2
LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitter
1. Switch on the ignition, see page 55.
2. When using for the first time: press and hold
down the left-hand and right-hand memory
button 1 for approx. 20 seconds, until the
LED 2 starts to flash rapidly. All stored pro-
grams are deleted.
3. Point the original hand-held transmitter at
the memory buttons 1 at a distance of
approx. 10 to 30 cm, approx. 4 to 12 in.
The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and memory
buttons 1 depends on the system accord-
ing to which the original hand-held trans-
mitter operates.<
4. Press the command button on the original
hand-held transmitter and the desired
memory button 1 on the integrated univer-
sal remote control at the same time. The
LED 2 initially flashes slowly. When the
LED 2 starts to flash rapidly, release both
buttons. If the LED 2 does not start to flash
rapidly after approx. 15 seconds, adjust
your distance and try again.
5. To program additional original hand-held
transmitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
