Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various radio-controlled accessories,
such as garages, exterior gates, or lighting sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote control
recognizes and learns the transmitted signal of
each of the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons
1. Then, the programmed memory
button 1 can operate the device whenever the
ignition is switched on. The LED 2 indicates
transmission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to
delete the stored programs beforehand for your
security, refer to page
70 .
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the travel range
of the device. Also, comply with the safety pre-
cautions of the original hand-held transmitter.

Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging
or in the manual supplied with the origi-
nal hand-held transmitter, then it is safe
to assume that the radio-controlled device is
compatible with the integrated universal
remote control.

Programming
1 Memory buttons
2 LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1. Turn the ignition key to position 2.
2. For initial use: press the left and right mem-
ory button
1 for approx. 20 seconds until
the LED 2 flashes rapidly. All stored pro-
grams are deleted.
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 4 in/10 cm to 12 in/
30 cm from the memory buttons
1.
The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and memory
buttons 1 depends on the relevant system
of the original hand-held transmitter used. <
4. Simultaneously press the transmit button
on the original hand-held transmitter and
the desired memory button
1 of the inte-
grated universal remote control. Initially, the
LED
2 flashes slowly. Release both buttons
as soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly. If the
LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx.
15 seconds, then change the distance and
repeat the step.
5. To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
You can use the system when the engine is run-
ning or when the ignition is switched on.
