Garage door. It's universal because it can be programmed to a range of brands.

The remote conforms to the HomeLink standard
BMW typically gives you three buttons that can be programmed to operate HomeLink compatible garage door openers or modules to turn on lights or open gates or whatever you can rig up for it to do.

Good Information on Capabilities
I've not done more than program my garage door but this thread has gotten me interested in programming my garage lights. The dinky bulb on the opener is... well, dinky.
Read this for some education: http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=1712480 In my research, I found no module to mute wife. Invent such and you could probably afford to order the carbon brakes for your M car. |

I've had this same set-up in the last two garages going back more than 20 years with no problems.

I've seen the universal remote mentioned in a few places here but nowhere in the specs for the car, is this an option or standard equipment?
It could be a UK thing, not available here but I'm sure I've seen it on other uk BMWs. |

I've got the bits and pieces needed to do this in by Amazon cart just waiting for me to place the order. I like the way you have it set up... Good logic.

This thread implies there is a universal remote included in the M3, but I didn't see any mention of it, or HomeLink, in the Owner's Manual for the F80 M3. I have the car on order, without a lot of options, and curious if this is included in all the cars.
Prefer not to have to carry around the garage door remote.

Correct ... it is the 3-button homelink.
Button 1 - Garage Door Button 2 - Activate ExhaustMeister Button 3 - DeActivate ExhaustMeister What is the ExhaustMeister you ask? Electronically control the exhaust flaps to be able to have the flaps fully opened with the push of a button for that louder exhaust when you want it, or when you don't http://www.exhaustmeister.com/ |
