#1 of 5 Homelink Programming by mdhutton May 31, 2008 (9:48 pm)
Anyone have any luck programming the HL's Homelink buttons with a scrolling-code garage door opener? Replies to this message: pedalstomper (Jun 02, 2008 6:11 am) nimrod99 (Jun 02, 2008 7:03 am) mdhutton (Jun 02, 2008 3:55 pm) azhar_akbari (Aug 14, 2008 1:43 pm)

Replying to: mdhutton (May 31, 2008 9:48 pm) Yes, I've done it on my 04 highlander for both a Sears and Genie opener with rolling code. You need to use both your remote door opener and the control unit attached to the garage door motor in order to be successful. Follow each step of the instructions in your owners manual carefully. It took me awhile but I finally prevailed.

Replying to: mdhutton (May 31, 2008 9:48 pm) Yes, the instructions are in the owners manual. You have to push the button on the garage door opener to learn the code from the homelink The garage door opener (HomeLink Universal Transceiver) is manufactured under license from HomeLink and can be programmed to operate garage doors, gates, entry doors, door locks, home lighting systems, and security systems, etc.   (a) Programming the HomeLink The HomeLink in your vehicle has 3 buttons and you can store one program for each button. To ensure correct programming into the HomeLink, install a new battery in the hand–held transmitter prior to programming. The battery side of the hand–held transmitter must be pointed away from the HomeLink during the programming process. For Canadian users, follow the procedure in “Programming an entrance gate/Programming all devices in the Canadian market”. 1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink buttons you want to program. 2. Place your hand–held garage transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1 to 3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink. Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink in view while programming.   3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand–held garage transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink button. 4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink changes from a slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both buttons. 5. Test the operation of the HomeLink by pressing the newly programmed button. If programming a garage door opener, check to see if the garage door opens and closes. If the garage door does not operate, identify if your garage transmitter is of the “Rolling Code” type. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button. The garage door has the rolling code feature if the indicator light (on the HomeLink) flashes rapidly and then remains lit after 2 seconds. If your garage transmitter is the “Rolling Code” type, proceed to the heading “Programming a rolling code system”. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each remaining HomeLink button to program another device.   Programming a rolling code system If your device is “Rolling Code” equipped, it is necessary to follow steps 1 through 4 under the heading “Programming the HomeLink” before proceeding with the steps listed below. 1. Locate the “training” button on the ceiling mounted garage door opener motor. The exact location and color of the button may vary by brand of garage door opener. Refer to the owner’s guide supplied by the garage door opener manufacturer for the location of this “training” button. 2. Press the “training” button on the ceiling mounted garage door opener motor. Following this step, you have 30 seconds in which to initiate step 3 below. 3. Press and release the vehicle’s programmed HomeLink button twice. The garage door may open. If the door does open, the programming process is complete. If the door does not open, press and release the button a third time. This third press and release will complete the programming process by opening the garage door.   The ceiling mounted garage door opener motor should now recognize the HomeLink unit and be able activate the garage door up/down. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each remaining HomeLink button to program another rolling code system. Programming an entrance gate/Programming all devices in the Canadian market 1. Decide which of the 3 HomeLink buttons you want to program. 2. Place your hand–held gate/device transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1 to 3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink. Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink in view while programming. 3. Press and hold the selected HomeLink button. 4. Continuously press and release (cycle) the hand–held gate/device transmitter button every two seconds until step 5 is complete. 5. When the indicator light on the HomeLink changes from a slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both buttons.   6. Test the operation of the HomeLink by pressing the newly programmed button. Check to see if the gate/device operates correctly. 7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each remaining HomeLink button to program another device. Programming other devices To program other devices such as home security systems, home door locks or lighting, contact your authorized Toyota dealer for assistance. Reprogramming a button Individual HomeLink buttons cannot be erased, however, to reprogram a single button, follow the procedure “Programming the HomeLink”. (b) Operating the HomeLink To operate the HomeLink, press the appropriate HomeLink button to activate the programmed device. The HomeLink indicator light should come on. The HomeLink continues to send the signal for up to 20 seconds as long as the button is pressed.   (c) Erasing the entire HomeLink memory (all three programs) To erase all previously programmed codes at one time, press and hold down the 2 outside buttons for 20 seconds until the indicator light flashes. If you sell your vehicle, be sure to erase the programs stored in the HomeLink memory.   CAUTION  When programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver, you may be operating a garage door or other device. Make sure people and objects are out of the way of the garage door or other device to prevent potential harm or damage.  Do not use this HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener, which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death. __________________ Replies to this message: mdhutton (Jun 02, 2008 3:55 pm) azhar_akbari (Aug 14, 2008 1:43 pm)

Replying to: nimrod99 (Jun 02, 2008 7:03 am) Thanks for all the help, it's working now. BTW, the manual as I read it and as is posted here is useless. Google-search got me going... Replies to this message: azhar_akbari (Aug 14, 2008 1:43 pm)

Replying to: mdhutton (Jun 02, 2008 3:55 pm) Hi,   I have the similar issue. I haev Genie Door opener. I tried programming it however the home link button blinks slowly for about 20 seconds and then it goes off. Next time when I press it it again keeps on blinking.   My understanding is that, even if the door system is rolling, the home link should learn within 20 seconds means, the light should blink fast after 20 seconds of programming...   Can someone help please   Thanks
