How Do I Program HomeLink?

Programming your HomeLink system is straightforward, and you can likely even do it in your own Bartlett home. Although the instructions to program HomeLink can vary by model, it’s a simple process in general, and you’ll find that programming HomeLink is quick and hassle-free. Follow these steps below, and enjoy having your garage door opener connected to your vehicle:

  1. The Homelink unit features three buttons typically located on the ceiling of the car above the center console. Press and hold down the first and third buttons until the interior lights of your vehicle begin to flash. This usually takes about 20 seconds. Pressing the first and third buttons is the master reset, so you don’t need to do this when subsequently adding other devices.
  2. Once the ceiling lights begin to flash, press and hold the button you wish to program while simultaneously holding the open/close button on your garage door opener. The lights should go from a slow to rapid flash, indicating that the programming is complete.
  3. Go into your garage, and press the “learn” button on your garage door opener.
  4. Return to your vehicle, and press the programmed button on your car for a minimum of two seconds. You may see the lights on your garage door opener flash, indicating that it is connecting.
