UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER

This talks about the different UGDO that BMW made, how to tell the difference, how to install them and how to pair them to your garage door.

One of the nice things about BMW’s is that each car has a full wire harness. What this means is that each car is already wired and has mounting brackets for every additional option available to that car. The garage door opener is a great example of this. When I bought my car it didn’t have a garage door opener but it did have all the mounting brackets and wiring to accept one.
