When Driving

Switches and Controls

NOTE

To program the remaining two HomeLink 

buttons, begin with “Programming”

— 

step 1

  If the indicator light blinks 

rapidly 

for two seconds and then turns 

to a constant light, continue with 

“Programming” steps 7—9

 to 

complete the programming of a rolling 

code equipped device (most commonly 

a garage door opener).

7.  At the garage door opener receiver 

(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate 

the “learn” or “smart” button. This can 

usually be found where the hanging 

antenna wire is attached to the motor-

head unit.

8.  Firmly press and release the “learn” or 

“smart” button. (The name and color of 

the button may vary by manufacturer.) 

NOTE

Complete the programming within 30 

seconds.

9.  Return to the vehicle and firmly 

press, 

hold for two seconds and release

 the 

programmed HomeLink button. Repeat 

the “

press/hold/release

” sequence a 

second time, and, depending on the 

brand of the garage door opener (or 

other rolling code equipped device), 

repeat this sequence a third time to 

complete the programming process.

HomeLink should now activate your 

rolling code equipped device.

 Gate operator/Canadian 

Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require 

transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) 

after several seconds of transmission 

— which may not be long enough for 

HomeLink to pick up the signal during 

programming. Similar to this Canadian 

law, some U.S. gate operators are designed 

to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having 

difficulties programming a gate operator 

by using the “Programming” procedures 

(regardless of where you live), 

replace 

“Programming HomeLink” step 3

 with 

the following: 

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener or 

gate operator, it is advised to unplug the 

device during the “cycling” process to 

prevent possible overheating.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink 

button while you 

press and release 

— every two seconds

 (“cycle”) your 

hand-held transmitter until the frequency 

signal has successfully been accepted by 

HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash 

slowly and then rapidly.)

Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to 

complete.
