ok..i just got my car and im trying to program my garage into the homelink. I followed the manual guide and NOTHING seems to happen. i hold the remote 3 inches away and hit the home link button and the remote button till it flash slow to rapidly. nothing happens..


can someone help me out here? or give me advice or any tricks...

 

what exactly did you do?

1. clear all codes by holding outside buttons
2. program remote to mirror. hold remote to mirror and hold button, make sure sensor on remote is pointing to mirror
3. If newer garage opener, push "learn" button on garage opener
4. Within 30 seconds, hold the same button you linked up to in step 2

If you take your time and watch the blinking lights to make sure each step syncs up, should be rather simple.

I've reprogrammed mine several times, lastly when replaced my mirror due to the TSIB, and never had any problems.

 

Yea its tricky... Just give a few tries and youll get it.

 

If all this still does not work, put fresh batteries in your garage remote, and try again.

 

woo hoo i got it to work...it turns out that i had to press a button behide the motor of the garage opener... thanks for everything guys!

 

I'm glad you figured it out. Newer garage door openers have rolling codes to prevent burglars from stealing your code. That's why you have to push the red button behind the motor for the home link to learn the rolling code.
