I have a relatively new garage door opener. My older RX was able to use homelink on the auto. I am having trouble getting my new 2018 to "learn" to use the homelink.
I followed the manual, since opener has rolling codes. Pressed the learn button on the back of the opener until red light went on. Then quickly got into car and pressed and held one of the 3 homelink buttons for 2 seconds and did this 3 times. Now it still does not work. HELP!!

Several youtubes available with step by step videos on how to program you homelite opener. Once you successfully complete one it goes easily for the next opener or car change. I avoided it for years until one of our remotes went out and the replacement was $50. Why did it take me so long???? It is very easy....done by one person....nothing more than a latter to push the "learn button" on the opener.

Keep in mind that without fob it is not possible. Homelink learns your signal pattern from your fob. Your GDO unit learns the signal from homelink which is duplicate of signal from fob. Do you have keypad on the wall? If so, use that in lieu of fob. What brand is yout GDO? You can get replacement fob from eBay easy.

I agree also - thanks! It’s a shame that such a great car as the RX is so fussy to program. Our new Camaro programmed perfectly on the first try.

just got a new rx350 and have tried following the manual to program the garage door opener to no avail. Must be doing something very simple incorrectly as i have no issues programming my 2013. I press the learn button on the back of the opener and then press the mirror button 3-4 times but nothing happens. Anyone have success ??

i got very lucky. Normally i do programming using the learn button on the motor. This time i just held the garage door remote under the programming button and it synced right away. With this success, i tried the same thing with the remote for the gate to get into the community. It too worked right away. Worth trying if you are having trouble.

Ok, struggling with the Homelink and my garage door, tried everything here. Problem one; garage door opener is a factory one installed by the home builder, it has a rolling code, but you can’t program the car to the remote, tried on my old RX and this 2018 RX350L. So what is confusing is if you press the desired button once it blinks orange slowly then if you press it again it turns off the blinking orange. So if you press and hold for 2 seconds, then release its still blinking orange until you press it again.
I tried press and release then press to stop the blink, and repeated that 3 to 5 times, still not recognizing my garage door
I've tried the same sequence for even 3 second 3 to 5 times and still isn’t working.
Frustrating, since the Homelink to,the gate of my community took 15 to 20 seconds, and only one try.

It is a Genie, but not your standard store bought version, I know it has rolling codes, and the manual states most after 1995 are rolling codes. I programmed our recently traded 04 RX330 with no issues, this one is killing me lol

finally got it, for my specific remote it took longer than 20 secs for the Lexus to recognize the remote button, thanks for trying to help.
