Initializing Telestart Hand Transmitter (T93) (From Build Date 03/07)




64 12 ... - Initializing Telestart hand transmitter (T93) (from build date 03/07)





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 iDrive, 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.)
- Press OFF button (2) and hold down for max. 15 secs.
- During this period of 15 secs., press ON button (1) three times within 10 secs.
- Release both buttons. LED (3) on hand transmitter flashes for approx. 10 secs.

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.





Important!
The initialization is lost if a valid key is inserted during initialization!
