Driving Your Mazda

Switches and Controls

Form No. 8R65-EA-03C

Programming the HomeLink 
System

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons 
which can be individually selected and 
programmed using the transmitters for 
current, on-market devices as follows:

1. Press and hold the two outer 

HomeLink buttons (buttons one and 
three) - releasing only when the 
indicator light begins to flash (after 20 
seconds). 

Do not

 hold the buttons for 

longer than 30 seconds and 

do not 

repeat step 1

 to program a second and/

or third hand-held transmitter to the 
remaining two HomeLink buttons.

2. Position the end of your hand-held 

transmitter 2.5

7.5 cm (1

3 inches) 

away from the HomeLink button you 
wish to program while keeping the 
indicator light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold both the 

chosen HomeLink and hand-held 
transmitter buttons. 

 Do not release the 

buttons until step 4 has been 
completed.

4. After the HomeLink indicator light 

changes from a slow to a rapidly 
blinking light, release both the 
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter 
buttons.

5. Press and hold the just-trained 

HomeLink button and observe the 
indicator light.

If the indicator light 

stays on constantly, 

programming is complete

 and your 

device should activate when the 
HomeLink button is pressed and released.

If the indicator light blinks 

rapidly for 

two seconds and then turns to a 
constant light, continue with 
"Programming" steps 6

8

 to complete 

the programming of a rolling code 
equipped device (most commonly a 
garage door opener).

6. 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.

When programming a garage door 
opener or a gate, disconnect the power 
to these devices before performing 
programming, as continuous operation 
of the devices could damage the motor.

NOTE

Some gate operators and garage door 
openers may require you to replace this 
Programming Step 3 with procedures 
noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian 
Programming" section.

CAUTION

NOTE

If the HomeLink indicator light does 
not change to a rapidly blinking light, 
contact HomeLink at 
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515 for assistance.

NOTE

To program the remaining two 
HomeLink buttons, begin with 
"Programming" 

 - step 2. Do not 

repeat step 1.
