64 12 ... Initializing TELESTART Hand Transmitter (T90)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW X5, 2009 BMW X5, 2008 BMW X5, and 2007 BMW X5. 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:

NOTE: The vehicle's central locking closes and opens automatically on successful initialization.
The initialization process must be repeated if there is no check back signal from the central locking system.
