64 12... Initializing Telestart hand-held transmitter (T93) (from build date 03/2007)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 23 other vehicles, including the 2013 BMW 328xi, 2013 BMW 328i, 2012 BMW 335xi, 2012 BMW 328xi, and 2012 BMW 328i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The Telestart hand transmitter must be initialized when:
- Hand transmitter is replaced
- Car Access System control unit is replaced
The independent heating is switched on under an outside temperature of approx. 15°C with the hand transmitter and at a preselected switch-on time.
Direct activation is possible at any outside temperature via the "Climate" menu item in the i-Drive, but not in driving mode.
To initialize a new hand transmitter, perform the following operations from inside the vehicle:
- Close all doors on vehicle (vehicle must be unlocked!)
- Within 5 seconds: Turn ignition lock from terminal "0" to terminal "R" and then back to terminal "0" (by inserting and removing key, insertion duration: 1 to 5 secs.)
- Within 5 seconds: Simultaneously press both buttons (1, 2) on hand transmitter until LED (3) lights up orange.
- Release both buttons. Briefly press ON button (1) three times within 10 seconds; LED (3) flashes orange as confirmation.
NOTE:
The vehicle's central locking closes and opens automatically on successful initialization.
The initialization process must be repeated if there is no checkback signal from the central locking system.
