Place your opener 1-3 in away from the surface of the homelink. Press and hold the homelink button. Press and hold your remote opener every 2 seconds until the indicator lite changes from a slow to a rapid flash. Test the home link button. If that did not work you have to press the learning button on the base of the garage door housing. A small LED light should go on. You then have about 30 seconds to press the home link button in the car twice. It would help to have 2 people, one in the car,one at the garage door opener base. After a few tries it should work.

I just tried this with no luck. Once it started blinking fast I just let go and tried to press to see if it works with no luck. I also tired pressing this button inside my garage door and this green led light starting blinking and I pressed my home link twice and nothing happened. The funny thing is now the button on the inside of my garage that is used to open from the inside doesnt open the door anymore, instead it turns on a light thats on the door motor hahaha. Any hints

For future help here's the instructions from the Homlink website:
HomeLink Training Instructions
Process: Program for the first time
Vehicle: 2001 Lexus GS-430
HomeLink Location: Overhead
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on your overhead), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)
Note: Some garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with the “cycling” procedure noted in the “View Canadian Instructions” section.
4. 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 and easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
