Integrated Universal Remote Control - BMW X5 3.0i Owner's Manual

Integrated universal remote control

116n
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
can replace as many as three hand-
held transmitters for various remote-
controlled accessories, such as door
openers and house alarm systems. The
integrated universal remote control rec-
ognizes and learns the transmitted sig-
nal of each of the original hand-held
transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three memory buttons 1. Follow-
ing that, each of the devices can be
actuated with the appropriately-pro-
grammed memory button 1. The indica-
tor lamp 2 flashes to confirm transmis-
sion of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day,
be sure to delete the stored programs
beforehand for your safety, refer to
page 118.
*
Before programming or using the
integrated universal remote con-
trol, always inspect the immediate area
to make certain that no people, animals
or objects are within the swiveling and
movement range of the device, as oth-
erwise injuries or damage can occur.
Also, comply with the safety precau-
tions of the original hand-held transmit-
ter.<
To Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds, which
may not be long enough to program the
integrated universal remote control. If
you are programming from one of these
hand-held transmitters, the integrated
universal remote control's light may
begin to flash in a series of double-
blinks. If this occurs, continue to hold
the button of the integrated universal
remote control while you reactivate
your hand-held transmitter. You may
have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
