Universal Remote Control

Hi All,

I have just ordered an F10 with universal remote control.

What the dealer doesn't seem to be able to tell me (in the UK) is what happens if my car is on the driveway and somebody breaks into my car - does the remote control operate, therefore giving them access to my garage?

Ideally they should only operate when opened by the key or the engine started - does anybody know if this simple security measure has been considered?

Thanks
Ian

Homelink only works when the ignition is switched on, at least that's how it is on all my cars in Canada.

I always forget if the engine had to be on when programming. However, I always have to turn it on or be in the short period after car is turned off where the automatic windows still work for the Homelink to function.
