Garage Door Opener Programming Contributed by: statdoc I spent the better part of a day installing two new garage door openers at my home, to replace two old ones. At the very end, I tried to program the HomeLink built-in transmitter in my BMW, to open the garage doors, without success. I followed the BMW Owners Manual instructions to the letter, I looked on my garage door manufacturer's website (in this case, Genie), and still got nowhere. After some serious Googling, I found some instructions on HomeLink's website, but was dashed to find these instructions were identical to those in the BMW manual. Just when I was convinced I would have to carry the Genie remote control, I found a small variation of the programming instructions on HomeLink's site, supposedly just for Canadians. Why these would be different than in the USA, I don't know. By following the slightly different instructions for Canadians, I was able to easily program my on-board HomeLink transmitter for my new garage door opener. I was having the same issue with my wife's Mercedes (since they share a common source for this HomeLink transmitter), and these instructions worked perfectly for her car, as well. I have copied and pasted the instructions from HomeLink's site, with the vital addition highlighted. I hope you are able to avoid some of the frustration I had today! NOTE: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be turned on or to the second (or “accessory” or ACC) position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio frequency. If programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the device during the 'cycling' process to prevent possible motor burn-up. During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press (“cycle&rdquo your hand-held transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. If necessary, follow steps 5-7 to complete the training for a rolling code device. Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are training for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink training. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the trained HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. Refer to step 1 only. 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. During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button while you press and re-press (“cycle&rdquo your hand-held transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon successful training. 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.) 4. Press and hold the trained HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
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. HomeLink should now activate your device. In case you need it, Homelink's on-line reference site is at http://www.homelink.com/training/train.taf and BMW's programming instructions can be found in your Owner's Manual. Good Luck!! |
The Remote Garage Opener in the BMW models is located near the moonroof switch, or under the rear view mirror. There will be 3 buttons, numbered 1,2, 3. Step 1: make sure your BMW is either inside or outside of the garage and NOT under the garage door!

You’ve got a new car and want to have the convenience of opening your garage by programming it directly from your vehicle, instead of carrying around a clunky remote. Typically, following the instructions provided in your owner’s manual will work to pair your car to the garage door opener — most problems syncing the two systems arise from owners not following the manual’s instructions.
However, sometimes you find that you’ve followed the instructions, and you’re still having no luck programming your car to open the garage door. There are several possible causes for this issue. Most cars are easy to program, but some newer luxury cars, like Audi, have complicated navigational screen menus, requiring extra steps that ask you to get in and out of the car. You may need to have a second person there to assist you or hire a professional garage door expert to help you set up the opener.

Meanwhile, older cars may be a bit more challenging to pair with a newer garage door opener and may need a repeater — a device allowing compatibility between a garage door opener and a car. Newer garage door opener models have newer and safer protocols for transmitter signals, and the repeater will be needed to relay the outdated car signal.
If you’re still having problems programming your garage door opener to your vehicle, try using these solutions.

So you’ve followed your owners manual, and you’re still not able to pair your car to the garage door opener. You keep re-reading the instructions thinking that you missed a step, but many manuals sometimes don’t include a step for how to program your car to the garage door.
Follow these steps to quickly and easily pair your vehicle:
- Find the logic board on the back of your garage door opener — this is the computer of your machine.
- Press the learn button on your garage door opener. Usually, this button is a yellow, red or purple square button.
- Hold the button on your car’s remote. You may need a second person to help with this step.
- A light on the garage door opener might flash briefly when the machine accepts your car’s code — you’ll then hear a click.
Specific Garage Door Programming Using Your Car’s Homelink or Car2U for Lift Master or Genie
Below are steps for programming a car remote to different Lift Master or Genie rolling code garage door openers — this is a security measure that changes the garage door openers coded signal each time the remote is used to prevent others from stealing entry. You’ll begin by following these steps:
- Hold down the two outside buttons on your car’s remote to clear any previous programming
- Press the button in your car that you want to use for controlling the garage door, plus the button on the garage door remote simultaneously until the car’s LED lights flash
For setting a HomeLink garage door opener, the final step will depend on the manufacturer of your machine:
- Genie: Locate and press the learn button located behind the light lens. An indicator light will flash when pressed. After pushing the learn button, return to your car’s remote button and press three or four times until the garage door moves.
- Lift Master:With a Lift Master, you’ll find the learn button on the back of the terminal screw board. Press it and then, within 30 seconds, hold the button on the car’s remote until the garage door opener’s light flashes or until you hear the receiver click.
