6412... Initializing Telestart hand-held transmitter (T93) (from build date 03/2007)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2011 BMW 328xi, 2011 BMW 328i, 2011 BMW 323i, 2010 BMW 335xi, and 2010 BMW 335i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The Telestart hand-held transmitter must be initialized when:
- Hand-held transmitter is replaced
- Car Access System control unit is replaced
The auxiliary heater is switched on when ambient temperature is approx. 15°C with the hand-held transmitter and at a preselected switch-on time.
Direct activation is possible at any ambient temperature via the "Climate" menu item in the i-Drive, but not in driving mode.
To initialize a new hand-held 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 handheld 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 feedback signal from the central locking system.
