Owner's Handbook
Congratulations on your choice of a BMW. The better you are acquainted with your car, the easier you will find it is to handle. We would therefore like to offer you the following advice: Please read the Owner's Handbook before setting out in your new BMW. [. . . ] The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the same signal as the original hand-held transmitter. You can operate the system when the engine is running or when the ignition is switched on. If the system fails to function even after repeated programming, check whether the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternating-code system. To establish this, either consult the operating instructions for the original hand-held transmitter or press and hold down the programmed memory button 1 on the universal remote control. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal remote control flashes rapidly for a short while and then remains lit for about two seconds, the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternating-code system. If it uses an alternating-code system, program the memory buttons 1 as described under Alternating-code hand-held transmitter. <
4. Press the button on the receiver of the device to be operated. Once step 4 has been performed, step 5 must be completed within about 30 seconds. Press programmed memory button 1 on the integrated universal remote control three times. The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the same signal as the original hand-held transmitter.
Deleting memorised programs
Press the two outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds, until the LED 2 flashes: All memorised programs are deleted. It is not possible to delete programs individually.

Alternating-code hand-held transmitter
To program the integrated universal remote control, consult the operating instructions for the device to be operated. The instructions should indicate what scope there is for synchronisation. When programming an alternating-code handheld transmitter, the following points should in addition be noted: Programming will be easier if another person is available to assist you. < 1. Park your car within the range of the radio remote control device. Program the integrated universal remote control as described above in Fixed-code hand-held transmitter. Establish the location of the button on the receiver of the device to be operated, e. g. on the drive system.
Press the button in the driver's door.
