The concept
The BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to three hand-held trans-
mitters that control different devices
such as a garage door opener, alarm
systems or a door locking system. The
BMW Universal Transmitter recognizes
and "learns" the transmitted signal from
each of the original hand-held transmit-
ters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed to one
of three channel keys. Following that,
each of the devices can be operated
with the channel key that you have
programmed for it. A transmission of the
signal is indicated by the indicator lamp.
Before you sell your vehicle, the
programmed channel keys should be
deleted. Refer to page 105 for the
description of this process.
To prevent potential injuries or
damage: during the programming
operation and before every remote trig-
gering of a programmed device using
the BMW Universal Transmitter, be sure
that there are no persons, animals or
objects within the range of movement of
the respective device. Read and comply
with the safety instructions for the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter also.<
To Canadian residents
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. This
may not be long enough to program the
BMW Universal Transmitter. If you are
programming from one of these hand-
held transmitters, the Universal Trans-
mitter's lamp may begin to flash in a
series of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the button on the
Universal Transmitter while you reacti-
vate your hand-held transmitter. You
may have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
Before programming, read the
"User's information" section on
page 105.<
The original hand-held transmitter
If this symbol is depicted on the
packaging or in the user's
instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter, it may be
assumed that this original hand-held
transmitter is compatible with the BMW
Universal Transmitter.
Checking for the change code
In order to determine whether the
original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with a change code system,
you may either refer to the instructions
for the original hand-held transmitter or
program a channel key as described in
the left column on page 104 under
"Programming."
Following that, press and hold the
programmed channel key of the BMW
Universal Transmitter. If the indicator
lamp of the BMW Universal Transmitter
flashes rapidly for two seconds and
then stays on continuously, the original
hand-held transmitter is equipped with
a change code system. If the change
code system is available, program the
channel keys as described in the right-
hand column on page 104 under
"Programming a hand-held transmitter
with change code."
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center
or call 1-800-355-3515.<
