Homelink®
Universal remote
control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Home link
The HomeLink universal remote control con
be programmed with the remote control for
devices that ore already present.
With Home Link, you can control devices such
as the garage door, secu rity systems, ho use
lights , etc. comfortably from the inside of you
vehicle .
H omelink makes it poss ible for you to rep lace
three different remote controls from dev ices
i n your home with one universal remo te. Th is
featu re works for most garage door and exte­
rior door motor signals. Programming the in­
d ividual remote control for your remote con ­
trol takes p lace near the center of the radiator
grille. There is a control module attached at
this location .
A one-t ime programm ing of the sensor must
be performed before you are able to use sys­
tems with Homelink. If the system does not activate after performing the one-t ime pro­
gramming, check whether the system uses a rolling code ¢
page 126 for vehicles without
the MMI*.
,& WARNING
-
-Never use the Homelink ® transmi tter
with any garage door opener that does have not the sa fety stop and reverse fea ­
ture as requ ired by federa l safety stand­
ards. Th is includes any garage door open­
er mode l manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de­
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards . Us ing
a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
Homelink ® 123
-For safety reasons never re lease the
parking brake or start the eng ine while
anyone is standing in front of the vehicle .
- A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being pro­
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac­
tivated, th is can overstrain motor and
damage its e lectrical components -an
overheated mo to r i s
a fire hazard!
- To avoid possib le injuries or property
damage, please always make abso lutely
certain that no person s or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equ ipment being operated .

You can program the fixed code and rolling
code systems using the described procedure.
Programming the button
• Turn the ignition on .
• There are two ways to program the button:
Press the button¢ page
123, fig. 136 that

Garage door opener> Program garage door
opener .
• Select the button that you would like to
program.
• Follow the instructions in the
MMI*.
• If the garage door opening must also be
synchronized with the Homelink module,
refer to the owner's manual for the garage
door opener. Remote
control units for garage door openers
in Canada are set to stop transmitting radio
frequency signals after two seconds. This time
may not be sufficient for the Home link sys­
tem to learn the radio frequency signal. Per·
form all other steps as described above .
Erasing/Clearing the programmed button
settings
• To erase all of the programmed buttons at
the same time, select:
I CAR I function button
> Car Systems" control button > Vehicle set­
tings
> Garage door opener> Clear pro­
gram settings > Yes.
The programmed but­
tons can not be erased individually . Repro­
gram the buttons if necessary.

manner that you would for the one-time
programming .
Displaying the version/status/country
code
• Select: I CAR ! function button > Car sys·
terns*
control button > Vehicle settings >
Garage door opener> Version information .
(D Tips
-Programming using the MMI* is not
available for all vehicle versions.
- The required distance between the hand

the radiator grille ¢fig.
137 depends on
the system that you are programming .
- Depending on the model of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program­
ming a new device, keep the button
pressed for at least 15 seconds before
trying again with the transmitter in a dif­
ferent position.

for the adaptat ion has expired or the pro ­
gram ming was unsuccessful. Repeat the
programming from step 3 on the controls
o r se lect another distance from the radia­
tor grille.
9. If the garage door or other devices sti ll
fail to be activated w it h the Homelink
control buttons after p rogramming is
comple ted, it is possib le tha t these sys­
tems might be wor king with a roll ing code
ins tead of the normal fixed code .
A Roll­
ing code programming must be per ­
formed

Program the rema ining tw o b uttons a ccord ing
to the instructions mentioned above . Beg in
similar ly w ith the 3rd step if the program ­
m ing connection was successful for t he first
button .
Remote con trol units fo r garage door opene rs
in Canada are set to stop transmitting radio

unit
.. Locate the sett ing button on the garage
door opener motor unit . The exact location
and co lor of the button may vary depending
on the garage door opener manufacturer .
.. Press the sett ing button on the garage door
opener motor unit (usually th is w ill act ivate

Homelink signal and operate when the Home­
Li nk button is pressed . Now you may program
the other buttons as needed .
(D Tips
-Programming the rolling code can be
performed quicker and more easily with
the help of a second person .
- If d iff iculties should arise when pro­
gramming the rolling code, consult the
operating instructions for the garage
door opener or o ther dev ices for po ssible
solutions.
