Remote Control (FZV): Introduction

The E65 is equipped with Remote Control Service devices as standard vehicle equipment. The services offered at production start are similar in function to the predecessor model E38:

• Remote control of the DWA and Central Locking system (FZV)
• Convenience open of the windows and sunroof.
• Integrated universal remote control (covered separately)

On the E65, the electronic evaluation unit and receiver unit are combined in a single unit integrated in the antenna amplifier.

This has the following advantages for the customer:

• Higher tamper resistance
• Greater security

The radio signals of the Remote Control are encrypted by means of a variable (rolling) code. This code prevents the vehicle opening by "monitored and copied signals".

The frequency range for the U.S. has changed from 315Mhz to 868.4Mhz.

Depending on equipment fitted and encoding, the following functions are possible:

• Remote control of the central locking system (ZV)
• Arm and disarm anti-theft alarm (DWA)
• Deactivate DWA interior protection and tilt sensor
• Activate panic mode
• Unlock/lock trunk lid
• Open trunk lid
• Switch on interior lights
