HomeLink 154HomeLinkUniversal transmitterApplies to vehicles: with HomeLinkDescription
The HomeLink universal transmitter can be programmed
to replace the hand-held controls of devices already in
use.HomeLink allows you to conveniently activate garage doors, estate
gates, security systems, home or office lighting and other electric
devices by means of control buttons inside your car.
HomeLink can replace up to three hand-held transmitters operating
existing devices on your property with a single universal trans-
mitter. This will be possible for most transmitters which control the
drive units for a garage door or external gates, etc. You can
programme the individual hand-held transmitters for your remote
control at or near the centre of the radiator grille. This is where the
control unit is located.
To be able to control systems with HomeLink, you need to perform
initial programming on the HomeLink transmitter first. If systems
fail to respond after the initial programming, check whether these
systems work with a "rolling code" (variable security code)
⇒page 155.
WARNING
When you are programming the HomeLink universal transmitter,
make sure that no persons or objects are close to the devices
receiving the transmitter signals. If a gate or door is inadvertently
set into motion during programming, persons might be injured or
other damage caused by moving parts.

At the operating unit
1. Switch on the ignition (do not start the engine).
2. Press and hold down the two outer HomeLink buttons
⇒page 154, fig. 171 until the indicator diode
⇒page 154, fig. 171 begins to flash after about
20 seconds. This procedure will delete the standard
factory settings and does not need to be repeated when
programming the other buttons.
3. Press the particular HomeLink button which you would
like to program.
4. Wait until the diode begins to flash. The HomeLink
module now remains in training mode for 5 minutes.
5. Now step in front of your vehicle with the original hand-
held transmitter for the garage door opener or any other
device you wish to assign to the HomeLink control
button.
At the radiator grille
6. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at or near the
centre of your car's radiator grille ⇒page 154, fig. 172.
7. Press the activator button on the original hand-held
transmitter.
8. As you do so, watch the turn signals on your vehicle.
HomeLink confirms successful programming by flashing
all four turn signals three times.
9. If the turn signals fail to flash three times, repeat the
procedure with the transmitter held at a different
distance from the radiator grille.
The proper distance between the hand-held transmitter and the
HomeLink module at the radiator grille depends on the system you
want to train. It may require several attempts.
The turn signals will flash once if the time limit for the programming
mode has been exceeded. In this case the programming procedure
needs to be performed again. Repeat the sequence at the operating
unit starting with step 3.
The programming instructions above also apply to the other control
buttons. Start with step 3 if you wish to proceed and program the
other two buttons.
If the garage door or other devices still fail to be activated with the
HomeLink control buttons after programming is completed, it is
possible that these systems might be working with a rolling code
instead of the normal fixed security code. If this is the case, a rolling
code programming is required in addition to the steps described
above. ⇒page 155Applies to vehicles: with HomeLinkRolling code programming
Some devices require rolling code programming of the
HomeLink universal transmitter.Identifying a rolling code
– Press the already programmed HomeLink button again
and hold it down.
–Watch HomeLink diode ⇒page 154, fig. 171. If the
diode starts flashing rapidly and turns into a constant
light after about 2 seconds, this indicates that the device
you wish to operate (e.g. a garage door opener) is
equipped with a rolling code.
– Program the rolling code as follows:

Activating the garage door opener drive unit
– Locate the programming button on the garage door
drive. The exact location and colour of the button may
vary depending on the type of garage door opener.
– Press the programming button on the door drive unit
(this will normally cause a “programming mode indicator
lamp” on the unit to light up). You now have about 30
seconds to start and complete the programming of the
HomeLink control button on the operating unit.
Programming at the operating unit in the
headliner
– Press and release the already programmed HomeLink
button.
– Press the HomeLink button again to complete rolling
code programming.After programming at the operating unit in the headliner, the
garage door opener should recognize the HomeLink signal and
respond when the HomeLink button is pressed. Now the other
control buttons can be programmed as required.
Note
•
Having a second person assist you makes programming of the
rolling code easier and faster. For some makes of garage door
openers the HomeLink button may have to be pressed a third time
to complete the training sequence.
•
If you encounter problems programming the rolling code you
may find helpful information in the operating instructions of the
garage door opener or other device you wish to operate.
Applies to vehicles: with HomeLinkOperating HomeLink
The programmed devices are activated by means of the
HomeLink control buttons in the headliner.– Make sure that the ignition is on.
– Press the programmed HomeLink button ⇒page 154,
fig. 171. The device assigned to that button (e.g. garage
door) will be activated.The HomeLink indicator diode ⇒page 154, fig. 171 will light up
when you press the button.Applies to vehicles: with HomeLinkErasing the button programming
You can erase the complete HomeLink programming by
pressing the two outer buttons.– Switch on the ignition (do not start the engine).
– Press and hold down the two outer buttons until the indi-
cator diode starts to flash ⇒page 154, fig. 171.
– Then release the buttons.After the programming of the HomeLink buttons has been erased,
the system will return to the training mode and is ready to be re-
programmed at any time.
Note
•
Programmed buttons cannot be erased individually.
•
For security reasons it is advisable to erase the programming of
the HomeLink buttons prior to selling your vehicle.

Applies to vehicles: with HomeLinkRe-programming a button
A HomeLink button can be re-programmed individually
without affecting the other button allocations.At the operating unit in the headliner
– Press and hold down the selected button until the indi-
cator diode ⇒page 154, fig. 171 starts flashing slowly.
At the radiator grille
–Hold the original hand-held transmitter for the garage
door opener or other device directly in front of the radi-
ator grille of your vehicle (at or near the centre)
⇒page 154, fig. 172. The exact distance depends on the
system that you want to program.
– Press the button on the original hand-held transmitter
for the garage door opener or other device.
– As you do so, watch the turn signals on your vehicle.
HomeLink confirms successful programming by flashing
all four turn signals three times.
– If the turn signals fail to flash three times, repeat the
procedure with the transmitter held at a different
distance from the radiator grille.When the turn signals have flashed three times, this means the
device previously stored in HomeLink has been erased and the new
system programmed in its place. To activate the new system, press
the HomeLink button that has just been re-programmed.
Note
It may require several attempts before programming is successful.
When programming a new device, keep the button pressed for at least 15 seconds before trying again with the transmitter in a
different position. Keep watching the turn signals during that
time.
