HomeLink Wireless Control System
WARNING: Do not use the system with any garage door opener that does not have the safety stop and reverse feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future system programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale or lease termination of your vehicle, you erase the programmed function buttons for security reasons. See Erasing the Function Button Codes.
Note: You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three devices after it has been initially programmed, you must first erase the current settings. See Erasing the Function Button Codes.
The universal garage door opener replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is integrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features, a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. As well as being programmed for garage doors, the system transmitter can be programmed to operate entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks and home or office lighting.

In-Vehicle Programming
This process is to program your hand-held transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink button.
Note: The programming steps below assume you will be programming HomeLink that was not previously programmed.
Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held transmitter. This will ensure quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Note: You may need to use a different method if you live in Canada or have difficulties programming your gate operator or garage door opener. See Gate Operator / Canadian Programming.
If the indicator light stays on, the programming is complete. No further action is needed.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns to a constant light, the HomeLink button is not programmed yet. See Programming Your Garage Door Opener Motor.
To program additional buttons, repeat Steps 1 – 4.

Programming Your Garage Door Opener Motor
Note: You may need a ladder to reach the unit and you may need to remove the cover or lamp lens on your garage door opener.
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.
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.
Erasing the Function Button Codes
Note: You cannot erase individual buttons.
Reprogramming a Single Button
To program a device to a previously trained button, follow these steps:

Programming to a Genie Intellicode 2 Garage Door Opener
Note: The Genie Intellicode 2 transmitter must already be programmed to operate with the garage door opener.
Note: To program HomeLink to the transmitter you must first put the transmitter into programming mode.
A - Red indicator light.
B - Green indicator light.
Note: The Genie transmitter will transmit for up to 30 seconds. If HomeLink does not program within 30 seconds the Genie transmitter will need to be pressed again. If the Genie transmitter indicator light displays green and red, release the button until the indicator light turns off before pressing the button again.
Once HomeLink has been programmed successfully, the Genie transmitter must be changed out of program mode. To do this:
Programming HomeLink to the Genie Intellicode Garage Door Opener Motor
Note: You may need a ladder to access the garage door opener motor.
Note: The next two steps must be completed in 30 seconds.
Programming is now complete.
Clearing a HomeLink Device
To erase programming from the three HomeLink buttons press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until the indicator light begins to flash. The indicator light will begin flashing in 10 to 20 seconds, at which time both buttons should be released. Programming has now been erased, and the indicator light should blink slowly to indicate the device is in train mode when any of the three HomeLink buttons are pressed.
