Programming HomeLink®: Step-by-Step Guide 

Programming HomeLink® is easier than you might think. Simply follow the instructions below to sync your garage door opener to your vehicle: 

1. HomeLink® includes three buttons, which are typically found on the car ceiling above the center console. Press and hold down the first and third buttons until the car’s interior lights start flashing. Usually, this takes about 20 seconds. Pressing and holding these two buttons simultaneously is the master reset, so you don’t have to do this when you add other devices. 
2. After the interior lights start flashing, press and hold the button you wish to program while also pressing and holding the open/close button on your garage door opener. The interior lights should start flashing more rapidly, which signals that programming is successful and complete. 
3. Next, go into your garage and press the “learn” button on your garage door opener.
4. Finally, go back to your car and press the button you just programmed for at least two seconds. You may see the lights on your garage door opener flash, indicating that it is connecting. The lights on the garage door opener may flash, signaling that it’s connecting to HomeLink®.
