Program Bmw X5 Garage Door Opener

So am i at least doing the right thing as far as programming? Hold 1 and 3 button in to clear previous settings, then push in the signal on my garage door opener which runs for about 30 secs to a minute, then hold one of the BMW's buttons for 2 seconds to program?NO. After clearing the settings (button 1&3) you press and hold BOTH the remote and button you want to program until the light flashes quickly (or 15 seconds, which ever comes first). If that doesn't work, you do it ALL over again with the remote in a different position.FWIW the last time I did this (2 weeks ago on our new 35d) I tried several different distances and locations.

The one that finally worked was about 6 inches below the mirror aimed upwards. YMMV.Funf DreisigLast edited by FunfDreisig; at 04:32 PM. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)2.

Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on your overhead ) keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press (“cycle') your hand-held transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned.

The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released.

How To Program 2016 Bmw X5 Garage Door Opener

(The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device.

A second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button reference the garage door opener’s manual or contact us.6. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.7.

Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.HomeLink should now activate your device. I am having that problem too - I'm an engineer, you'd figure I could figure it out. I got it working on other cars and in other garage doors - not my own X5 at my house - no how no way - tried more than a dozen times. I see lights blinking and then nothing. Now I use the old fashioned remote control, no choice.

Damn thing doesn't work.2007 X5 4.8Did you try all the buttons? I followed the instructions someone posted on this thread. Held the door opener remote a few inches below the mirror and pushed in button 2. For some reason button 1 would not learn, kept flashing fast. I beleive it only took button 2 a couple of seconds to learn after pressing the garage door opener.

I have two other garage doors I would like to program, but had trouble with one of them and gave up for now. What NY98M3 posted above is essentially what I read in the manual.

Additionally, I had to have the car running not just on?This is what worked for me.1. Clear all buttons, NY98M3's Step #1.2. Press the desired mirror button and remote button at the same time.

Hold until the mirror light flashes fast. Release both buttons.Your done.

Except if you have a rolling code.3. Perform Step #2 for each remote.4.

Push the learn button on the GDO (you have 30 seconds to complete), push and hold the mirror button in the car. The GDO lights should flash. Repeat this step until the GDO lights flash.Note: When I read NY98M3's Step #7 in the manual. I had read it as push the mirror button quickly three times, which was wrong. Also 2 seconds might not be enough time.

Hold the button until the GDO flashes. If not then the 30 seconds is probably over so repeating the mirror button for an additional two times wouldn't work.Good luck.

Now I use the old fashioned remote control, no choice. Damn thing doesn't work.2007 X5 4.8Same thing here. I'm a software developer, which means I should know how to program things like this.First, my other car was programmed to work with my opener.Then, my friend's 2012 BMW X5 (exactly same model) was programmed to work fine.I have no problem to get the light flashing rapidly (step 2), but can't get through step 3, the rolling code device.

Sometimes when I push the homelink button after pushing the 'learn' button, it wiped out my other programmed devices and I had to reprogram them.Is there anything wrong with the homelink device on my new car? Can I have it replaced?

Program The 2004 Bmw X5 Garage Door Opener

The Remote Garage Opener in the BMW models is located near the moonroof switch, or under the rear view mirror. There will be 3 buttons, numbered 1,2, 3.Step 1: make sure your BMW is either inside or outside of the garage and NOT under the garage door!Step 2: Insert the key and turn the key until all the gauges light up, without starting the car. With the key fobs, push the 'start' button,without your foot on the brake, until the gauges light up but not starting the car.

The BMW garage opener will NOT program if the BMW engine is running.Step 3: Press and hold the two outside buttons (#1 and #3) on the garage opener by the moonroof switch or under the rearview mirror. Continue to hold both of the buttons down until you see a small light beside the #1 button begin to blink rapidly. This usually takes 30 seconds or more.Then release both buttons.Step 4:Take your house garage remote, hold it very close to the BMW's #1 button, and then press your house remote and the #1 button down at the same time, and continue to hold them down until you see the small light by the #1 button begin to blink again rapidly. Then release both buttons.Step 5: Press the #1 button on the BMW, and if the garage door starts up or down, then you are finished.If nothing happens.go to Step 6Step 6: With the BMW gauges still lit up as before, get a small step ladder so that you can reach the garage door motor near the garage ceiling. Depending on the type of garage door unit, there will be some buttons on the rear of the unit, or in the front of the unit near the garage light.Locate the button that has 'learn' or 'program' labeled beside it.Press that button on the unit and it will start blinking, or eitherjust light up red.Step 7: Then get down and go back to the BMW.

Press the BMW #1 button and hold it down for 3 seconds, then release it. Press and hold the same #1 button down again for 3 seconds and release. Repeat this step a few more times until the garage door starts up or down.Then it is programmed.

After that all you do is press the #1 button to open and close the garage door.For multiple garage doors, repeat Steps 4-7 for the BMW button # 2 and #3.
