How to set HomeLink garage doors??

[rogue status hoho]

does anybody know how to set the Homelink system to your garage doors? I've read the manual, but no luck yet. any pointers?

Hold the 2 outside buttons for 30 seconds to erase all the old codes. Take your existing garage door opener and hold it up to the homelink receiver and press the button on your existing garage door opener and the button on your homelink that you want programmed for like 10 seconds. Then, go to your garage door main unit, press the learn button, go back to your truck and press and hold the button you first programmed, hold for 5 seconds until you see the garage light flash, and then repress the button and should work...

Hope that makes sense...

i have to go one step further after hitting the learn button and press the homelink button 3 times instead of 2 to program my genie opener to my homelink...fyi.

i still cant get mine to work no matter how i try. sucks to have that stupid opener clipped to my visor when i have the homelink option

My solution:

No garage. Makes it easy not to care how to program it.



Now watch, I will suddenly get a decent job, home, and garage and not be able to figure it out......

i heard my garage system is too new for the homelink to link to it...

my garage door opener is at least 6 years old...older than the hoe so it should work

I just got a new garage opener installed and I had no problems programming my homelink button weird.

I think it has something to do with the technology in the garage door opener...I can't' get mine to work. I haven't really looked into it to be honest but I tried the above months ago and no dice.

On my link after I programmed it I have to hold the button like 2 seconds for the door to open

 

[Narco]

ill try it again in a little bit...wish it worked

Strange, my garage door opener doesn't respond to Homelink buttons either.
Mine uses voice recognition technology.

I just programmed mine after getting a new Genie door opener. This is how I did mine.

Press and hold the 2 outside homelink buttons until light starts flashing fast...20 sec.

Hold door opener remote up next to homelink and press the button you want to use on homelink and remote button at same time. I use the middle button.

Go to your door opener motor and locate the "learn" button (mine is under the light cover) Press and release that button. You have 30 sec to do next step...

Go back to truck, press and hold the homelink button you chose...voila it should work.

Yes you should have to hold the homelink button for a second or two each time you open and close the door.

Just did mine as well today, but for training the garage to see Homelink, when I went back to the Hoe it says on the website to hold the button in the Hoe for 2 sec, and if the garage door doesn't open or shut, to repeat. It may take 3 tries. Mine worked on the second time. So if it doesn't work on the first time holding it for 2 sec's dont fret, try again.
