Programming HomeLink®*[1]
Follow these instructions to program HomeLink®, reset all programming, or program individual buttons.
In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in the "accessory position" before HomeLink® can be programmed or used. It can be a good idea to put new batteries in the remote control being replaced by HomeLink® for faster programming and better radio signal transmission. The HomeLink® buttons should be reset before programming.Note
While HomeLink® is being programmed, the garage door or gate being programmed may be activated. Make sure that no one is near the door or gate during programming. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.Warning
Point the remote control at the HomeLink® button to be programmed and hold it about 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not obstruct the HomeLink® indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effective at programming HomeLink® from a distance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Keep this in mind if you experience any programming difficulties.
- Press and hold both the remote control button and the HomeLink® button to be programmed.
- Do not release the buttons until the indicator light has stopped flashing slowly (about once a second) and either flashes quickly (about 10 times a second) or glows steadily.
If the indicator light glows steadily: Indication that programming is complete. Press the programmed button twice to activate.
If the indicator light flashes quickly: The device being programmed with HomeLink® may have a security function that requires an extra step. Try pressing the programmed button twice to see whether the programming works. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
Locate the "training" button[2] on the receiver for the e.g. garage door opener. It is usually located near the antenna bracket on the receiver.- Press and release the "training" button once. Programming must be completed within 30 seconds after pressing the button.
- Press and release the HomeLink® button to be programmed. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time. For some receivers, the sequence may need to be repeated a third time.Programming is now completed and the garage door, gate, etc. should now be activated when the programmed button is pressed.
If you experience any difficulties programming, please contact HomeLink® at: www.HomeLink.com, or call 1–800–355–3515.
Programming individual buttons
- Press and hold the desired button for about 20 seconds.
When the indicator light on HomeLink® starts flashing slowly, it is possible to program as usual.
Note: If the button you are reprogramming does not program with a new device, it will return to the previously saved programming.
Resetting the HomeLink® buttons
It is only possible to reset all HomeLink® buttons at once. It is not possible to reset individual buttons. Individual buttons can only be reprogrammed.
- Press and hold the outer buttons (1 and 3) on HomeLink® for about 10 seconds.When the indicator light goes from a steady glow to flashing, the buttons have been reset and are ready for reprogramming.
