Help! We have a new 2012 HIGHGATE, Can't get the Gararge door opener to program. There are no directions in owners manual. Opener is a older model no learning button, had no problems with our '06 R52. All the posts here are for older models. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Are you sure about that? There are instructions in the 2011 owners manual PDF. Look in the index under Garage Door Opener.

 

page 86 of my 2012 cms all4 manual and listed in the index both as "garage door opener" and "integrated universal remote control"

Integrated universal remote control*

Switch on the ignition, page 44.
When starting operation for the first time: Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes rapidly. All stored programs are cleared.
Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a distance of approx. 2 in to 12 in/5 to 30 cm from the memory buttons 1.
The required distance between the
hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the respective original hand-held transmitter used.<
Simultaneously press the transmit key on the original hand-held transmitter and the desired memory button 1 on the integrated universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec- onds, alter the distance.
To program other original hand-held trans- mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter.
You can operate the system with the engine running or with the ignition switched on.
If the system fails to function even after
repeated programming, check whether the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter- nating-code system. To do so, either read the instructions for the original hand-held transmit- ter or hold down the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote con- trol. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal remote control flashes rapidly and then remains lit for about two seconds, the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternating-code system. If it uses an alternating-code system, program the memory buttons 1 as described under Alternat- ing-code hand-held transmitters.<
Alternating-code hand-held transmitters
To program the integrated universal remote control, consult the operating instructions for the device to be set. You will find information there on the possibilities for synchronization or programming of additional hand-held transmit- ters.
When programming hand-held transmitters that employ an alternating code, please observe the following supplementary instructions:
Programming will be easier with the aid of a second person.<
1. Park your vehicle within the range of the remote-controlled device.
2. Program the integrated universal remote control as described above in the section Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit.
4. Press the button on the receiver of the device to be set. After step 4, you have approx. 30 seconds for the next step 5.
5. Press the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote control three times.
The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter.

 

Yes I am sure,the manual has nothing in the index about the Gararge door opener. The manual is for the 2012 Coupe,Roadster & Convertible. I am thinking that since the Coupe and Roadster do not offer that option that the instructions were not included (also checked integrated Gararge door opener.)Our MINI was a late 2012 build (May) so others may find the same information missing. Thanks for the response anyway.

 

Thanks, checked page 86 nothing about gararge door opener also looked in index for integrated opener, nothing as well. I will try again using the directions you posted I don't think I cleared the codes first before I tried it the first time.

 

Instructions from the 2011 R57 Owner's Manual attached.

 

Thanks, that page is just not in our manual
