Integrated universal remote

control

Controls on the interior rearview mirror

The concept

The Integrated universal remote control can be

used to operate up to 3 functions of remote-

controlled devices such as garage door open-

ers or lighting systems. The Integrated univer-

sal remote control thus replaces as many as

three different hand-held transmitters. To oper-

ate them, the buttons on the interior rearview

mirror must be programmed with the desired

functions. Programming requires the hand-held

LED

transmitter for the respective device.
