Note to self, for me the 'Sweet Spot' is behind the rear view mirror on the right side (opposite side of the three buttons. Guess what - I remember this post because I replied back to this a few years ago. I did a quick google search and this thread came up. Well somehow after setting up another car to our garage door, the settings on my 335i stopped working. After that I just followed the rest of the instructions - I'm good to go I knew I would find the answers here.Īs soon as I moved the remote behind the rear view mirror - I found the sweet spot. This is AWESOME - I spent 20 minutes last night with no luck. Two steps, you are simply talking about just one of them, the remote. That is what is missing, the BMW, as indicated in the manual, has to learn the main unit as well as the remote. The issue is not just learning the remote, which is easy, but learning the tansmitter from the over head unit itself, it needs to know the manufacturer of the unit before it will work. You should see the light blink slowly but then changes to blink rapidly.you're doneĮven the units that have a 'learn button' have the dip switches, they simply set the frequency you want to use.

Now choose the button you want to program and hold it and then hold the button on your ace the remote on the driver side, one inch away between the windshield and the mirror

Then hold the two outer buttons on the mirror to reset

there are also dip switches on the remote to match the switch placement inside.YOU CAN get your homelink to workįirst thing you'll need to do is make sure you have a new battery on your remote (this is a must do)

The switches will push up or down with your finger. If anyone has the opener that doesnt have a learn button but uses individual dip switches up or down on the receiver.
