BMW Universal Transmitter




BMW Universal Transmitter
As standard equipment, the 740iL and 750iL will be equipped with the BMW Universal Transmitter. The transmitter adds the convenience of combining multiple hand held remote transmitters into one universal system. The transmitter is located in the overhead switch panel above the rear view mirror.

The BMW Universal Transmitter replaces up to three remote transmitters such as:
- Garage Door Openers
- Home / office lighting and security systems
- Entrance Gate systems

Programming












1. Press the two outer buttons on the universal transmitter simultaneously until the red LED begins to flash. Release the buttons. This step initializes the memory and erases any previous settings on all three channels.
2. Place the signal emitting end of the hand held remote transmitter against the BMW universal transmitter so that you can still see the red LED.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand held remote transmitter button and the chosen button (1-3) on the BMW universal transmitter.
4. Continue to hold the buttons until you see the red LED begin to flash first slowly and then rapidly. It can take up to one minute before the LED begins to flash rapidly. Once it is flashing rapidly it indicates that the universal transmitter has been programmed successfully.
5. To program another button repeat steps 2-4 only.
