Best tutorial for programming the remote of the three I watched. One thing, though ... Some garage door opener wall control panels include the Learn button on them, so there's no need to back out the car and climb the ladder for that step. I'd been delaying this task for my new car until I caught sight of that button.

[@garagedoorgenius]

Glad it worked out for ya! So with your gate. A lot of the times the remotes to those are dip switches. Meaning, just press and hold the home link and remote until LED starts rapidly flashing. Done! But, you may have a rolling code on the gate which will require pressing a learn button on that unit. Hope that helps.

For 2024 RX350h, resetting is the same per this video, but during programming it's unnecessary to hold the remote and the selected button (for example button #1) together at the same time. Rather, just press button #1 until it starts to blink rapidly, then press the remote until the homelink LED turns green. Good luck.

[@garagedoorgenius]

[@addanametocontinue]

These worked for my 2010 IS350. Just something to note: depending on your garage door opener, the "learn" mode might trigger while you go through this process and in that case, you won't need to hit the "learn" button on the garage door opener, at all. If you accidentally do hit it, you might need to press it 1 or 2 times to get it back into learn mode again.

[@garagedoorgenius]

Glad it worked out for you! 🙏 FYI, the learn button will never just turn on. Pressing the learn button only requires 1 press (in and out). You don't want to press it multiple times because if you have a newer Chamberlain LiftMaster you'll throw it into force setting mode, which you don't want.

[@addanametocontinue]

@@garagedoorgenius I replaced my garage door opener today with a newer one (belt version, much quieter). Had to look up this video again to see how to connect my car to the opener. Worked exactly as you described. I guess I must've been playing around with the "learn" button the last time I did this. Thanks again!

[@menaman00]

Worked for me! Thanks. But how if I connect to my gated community gate?

[@garagedoorgenius]

You're welcome! A lot of gate remotes are dip switches. So programming the gate is easier than programming to the garage door actually. Just take your gate remote, hold 3-5 inches away, press gate remote button and Homelink button at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until the HomeLink LED flashes rapidly. Done! Sometimes you have to clear the HomeLink and program the garage door again and then the gate, just FYI.

So far not working. On the 3 clicks , are they quick presses ( I notice the light blinking when you do it) or do you have to hold each press for a certain period of time?

[@garagedoorgenius]

Press in and out firmly. It's not a race, so go slowly. And it could take up to four or five presses for it to recognize the opener. But typically it's just three.

[@garagedoorgenius]

@@KristaMurry well, unfortunately MOST HomeLink s in vehicles need a remote to program. I understand you have a wall mounted button. But that wall button is a wired device not radio controlled. My suggestion is to order a Universal remote and program it to your opener. That way you'll have a backup.

[@PLO541]

Does this work for a gate opener?

[@garagedoorgenius]

Yes. You want to program all remotes to the car like in step 2. Then press the learn button for each corresponding opener and program them each one at a time. Some gates you only have to program remote to Homelink. Leaving out the learn button step. But some gates you have to activate the learn button from the unit and then continue to step 4. Hope that helps.

[@garagedoorgenius]

@@AverageHuman7026 hey thanks for the follow! I try to reply to every comment. Now if you have cleared out the HomeLink memory and you still can't get that red LED to rapid flash, you more than likely need a HomeLink repeater. Yes, I know it's totally stupid. But with those Blue cover Chamberlain machines they did something with the circuitry that makes some vehicles not pick up the signal. That's why your red light keeps flashing slowly. The HomeLink can't pick up the frequency. So a repeater is needed to do that. HomeLink repeater is pretty cheap and easy to do. LiftMaster 855lm Homelink Repeater Kit a.co/d/g3S9rJZ

[@mcc78405]

Is this the same process for a gate opener? I got the garage door going but gate won't program

[@garagedoorgenius]

Some gates all you have to do is step 2. Which is point remote at HomeLink, press both and hold until HomeLink starts flashing fast. Then try the gate. But program everything at once. Because first step is important, erase the HomeLink memory.

[@garagedoorgenius]

If the gate doesn't still work then locate a learn button on the gate. May have to take the case off of it to access. It should be labeled and located on the circuit board. Unless it has an external reciever. Then the learn button will be in the reciever box. Press the learn then go back to the car and press the HomeLink in and out 3-5 times.

What do you do when you don't have a garage opener???

[@garagedoorgenius]

I suggest go to a local hardware store or Amazon and buy a universal remote. Universal remotes program to most opener brand makes and models. And also, you'll have a spare remote. And if you ever move that universal will program to the garage door opener at the new place. So money not wasted IMO.
