Practical interior equipment
Integrated universal remote 
control*
Principle
The integrated universal remote control 
replaces up to three different hand-held trans-
mitters for various systems or devices that are 
operated by radio remote control, for example a 
gate opener and domestic alarm systems. The 
integrated universal remote control identifies 
and learns the signals transmitted by the origi-
nal hand-held transmitters.
The signal from an original hand-held transmit-
ter can be programmed to one of the three 
memory buttons
1. The system in question can 
then be operated with the memory button
1 
programmed in this way with the ignition 
switched on. Transmission of the signal is 
shown by the LED
2.
If and when you decide to sell your car, in the 
interests of security clear the programmed 
functions first, see page
.
During the programming operation and 
before a programmed system is operated 
with the integrated universal remote control, 
make sure that no persons, animals or objects 
are within the pivoting or movement range of 
the system in question, otherwise there is a risk 
of injury or damage. Comply also with the safety 
instructions supplied with the original hand-
held transmitter.

Checking compatibility
If this symbol appears on the pack or in 
the instructions supplied with the origi-
nal hand-held transmitter, you can 
assume that the radio remote control device will 
be compatible with the integrated universal 
remote control.
A list of compatible hand-held transmitters is 
available from the fax polling number 
+49 (0)6838 907 283 3333. If you would like 
more details, please call the freephone 
Homelink hotline at +49 (0)6838 907 277, or 
0800 0466 35465 from within Germany.

When using for the first time: press the two 
outer memory buttons
1 for approx. 20 sec-
onds, until the LED
2 flashes. All memo-
rised programs are deleted.
3.
Point the original hand-held transmitter at 
memory buttons
1 at a distance of approx. 
5 to 20 cm,  approx.  2  to  8  in.
The required distance between the 
hand-held transmitter and memory 
buttons 
1 depends on the system accord-
ing to which the original hand-held trans-
mitter operates.

4.
Press the command button on the original 
hand-held transmitter and the desired 
memory button
1 on the integrated univer-
sal remote control at the same time. The 
LED
2 initially flashes slowly. When the 
LED
2 starts to flash rapidly, release both 
buttons. If the LED
2 does not start to flash 
rapidly after approx. 15 seconds, change 
the distance.
