The concept
Checking for the conversion code
The BMW Universal Transmitter re-
places up to three hand-held transmit-
ters of different devices such as ga-
rage-door openers, alarm systems, or
door locking systems. The BMW Uni-
versal Transmitter recognizes and
"learns" the transmitted signal of each
of the original hand-held transmitters.
To determine whether the original
hand-held transmitter is provided with a
conversion-code system, you may ei-
ther read the instructions for the origi-
nal hand-held transmitter or program a
channel key as described on page 113
(left-hand column under "Program-
ming").
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds, which
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 light may begin to flash in a se-
ries of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the button on the Uni-
versal Transmitter while you reactivate
your hand-held transmitter. You may
have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three channel keys. Following
that, each of the devices can be actu-
ated with the appropriately-program-
med channel key. Transmission of the
signal is signaled by the indicator lamp.
Then press and hold the programmed
channel key of the BMW Universal
Transmitter. If the indicator lamp of the
BMW Universal Transmitter flashes for
two seconds and then comes on
steadily, the original hand-held trans-
mitter is provided with a conversion-
code system. With a conversion-code
system, program the channel keys as
described on page 113 (right-hand col-
umn under "Programming a hand-held
transmitter with conversion code").
Before programming, read the
"User information" section on
page 114.<
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
channel keys should be cleared as de-
scribed on page 114.
Original hand-held transmitter
During programming and before
every remote actuation of a pro-
grammed device by the BMW Universal
Transmitter, check to be sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects
within the actuation range of the device
in order to prevent possible injuries or
damage. Also, comply with the safety
precautions of the original hand-held
transmitter.<
