Programming HomeLink

1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (buttons one and three), releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step one to train a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink buttons.
2. Press the appropriate HomeLink button I, II or III which you want to train and keep holding it until the indicator light starts flashing slowly. Once the indicator light starts flashing slowly, you may release the button. HomeLink is now in "training mode."

You will now have 5 minutes to train your hand held transmitter to the HomeLink transmitter in the bumper.
3. Stand in front of your vehicle with the original hand held transmitter for the gate or garage door opener (or other device) that you wish to train.

The transmitter unit to be trained is located beneath the right headlight .

4. Hold the original hand held transmitter between 3-5 inches from the location described above, pointing at your car. NOTE: The distance between the hand held transmitter and the HomeLink transmitter unit in the bumper depends on the system being trained. It may require several attempts at different distances in order to pick up the signal.

5. Now press and hold the button on your original hand held transmitter while keeping your hazard warning lights in view. The hazard warning lights will blink three times to indicate that the training has been successful.

Note: If the training time exceeds the five minutes, the hazard warning lights blink once. If this happens, you should repeat steps 2 to 5.
6. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker & easier.

7. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener’s manual, or contact us.
8. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.

9. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
