For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go
to www.learcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold
before 1996 are Fixed Code units.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.To program up to three devices:
1. To verify that the garage door
opener is a Fixed Code unit,
remove the battery cover on the
hand-held transmitter supplied
by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener motor.
If there is a row of dip switches
similar to the graphic above, the
garage door opener is a Fixed
Code unit. If you do not see a
row of dip switches, return to the
previous section for
Programming Universal Home
Remote —Rolling Code.

Your hand-held transmitter can
have between 8 to 12 dip
switches depending on the
brand of transmitter.
The garage door opener receiver
(motor head unit) could also
have a row of dip switches that
can be used when programming
the Universal Home Remote.
If the total number of switches
on the motor head and
hand-held transmitter are
different, or if the dip switch
settings are different, use the dip
switch settings on the motor
head unit to program the
Universal Home Remote. The
motor head dip switch settings
can also be used when the
original hand-held transmitter is
not available.
Example of Eight Dip Switcheswith Two Positions
Example of Eight Dip Switcheswith Three Positions
The panel of switches might not
appear exactly as they do in the
examples above, but they
should be similar.
The switch positions on the
hand-held transmitter could be
labeled as follows:
.A switch in the up position
could be labeled as Up,
+, or On.
.A switch in the down
position could be labeled as
Down, −, or Off.
.A switch in the middle
position could be labeled as
Middle, 0, or Neutral.
2. Write down the 8 to 12 switch settings from left to right as
follows:
.When a switch is in the up
position, write “Left.”
.When a switch is in the
down position, write “Right.”
.If a switch is set between
the up and down position,
write“Middle.”
The switch settings written
down in Step 2 now
become the button strokes
to be entered into the
Universal Home Remote in
Step 4. Be sure to enter the
switch settings written down
in Step 2, in order from left

4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter each switch setting
from Step 2 into your vehicle's
Universal Home Remote. You
will have two and one-half
minutes to complete Step 4. Now
press one button on the
Universal Home Remote for
each switch setting as follows:
.If you wrote “Left,”press
the left button (A) in the
vehicle.
.If you wrote “Right,”press
the right button (C) in the
vehicle.
.If you wrote “Middle,”press
the middle button (B) in the
vehicle.
5. After entering all of the switch positions, once again firmly
press and release all three
buttons at the same time. The
indicator lights will turn on. 6. Press and hold the button that
will be used to control the
garage door until the garage
door moves. The indicator light
above the selected button
should slowly blink. This button
may need to be held for up to
55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves.
The indicator light will blink
rapidly until programming is
complete.
8. Press and release the same button again. The garage door
should move, confirming that
programming is successful and
complete.
To program another Fixed Code
device such as an additional garage
door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat
Steps 1-8, choosing a different
button in Step 6 than what was used
for the garage door opener.

Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The navigation system has an
auxiliary input jack located on the
faceplate and in the center console.
This is not an audio output; do not
plug the headphone set into the
front auxiliary input jack. An external
audio device such as an iPod,
laptop computer, MP3 player, CD
player, or cassette tape player, etc.
can be connected to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another audio
source. Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
Defensive
Driving on page 9‑3 for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the radio's front auxiliary input jack.
When a device is connected, press
AUDIO, then press AUDIO again
until AUX is selected or press the
AUX screen button to begin playing
audio from the device over the
vehicle speakers.
For optimal sound quality, increase
the portable audio device's volume
to the loudest level.
It is always best to power the
portable audio device through its
own battery while playing.
The vehicle may have a rear
entertainment system (RSE) with a
second and third row screen. The
RSE has audio adapters to allow
you to connect auxiliary devices.
The audio can be heard through the
speakers or through the wireless or

wired headphones. See the Rear
Seat Infotainment user guide for
more information.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See

To switch the RSE system to use an
auxiliary device:
1. Connect the auxiliary device to the RSE system, for the second
or third row. 2. Press AUDIO then press AUDIO
again, repeatedly until AUX
(auxiliary) is selected or press
the AUX screen button. An
auxiliary device must be

button to appear as an option to
select.
3. For the second row display select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display
1 and for the third row display
select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display 2.
Each screen works
independently of the other. The
second row screen can watch a
DVD while the third row screen

The A/V jacks are color coded to
match typical home entertainment
system equipment.
The A/V jacks, located on the rear
of the floor console, allow audio or
video signals to be connected from
an auxiliary device such as a
camcorder or a video game unit to
the RSE system. Adapter
connectors or cables (not included)
may be required to connect the
auxiliary device to the A/V jacks.
Refer to the manufacturer ’s
instructions for proper usage.
The yellow jack (A) is for the video
input. The white jack (B) is for the
left audio input. The red jack (C) is
for the right audio input.
Power for auxiliary devices is not
supplied by the radio system.
To use the auxiliary inputs of the
RSE system, connect an external
auxiliary device to the color-coded
A/V jacks and turn both the auxiliary device and the video screen power
on. If the video screen is in the DVD
player mode, pressing the AUX
(auxiliary) button on the remote
control switches the video screen
from the DVD player mode to the
auxiliary device. The audio of the
connected source can be listened to
over the speakers by sourcing the
radio to the auxiliary device or by
sourcing the RSA to the Rear Aux
and listening with the wireless
headphones on Channel 2 or with
the wired headphones. See
“Using
the Auxiliary Input Jack” under
Auxiliary Devices on page 7‑28 for
more information about changing
the source.

system, if the vehicle has this
feature. The DVD player can be
selected as an audio source on the
RSA system. SeeRear Seat Audio
(RSA) System on page 7‑39 for
more information.
When a device is connected to the
A/V jacks, or the radio's auxiliary
input jacks (front auxiliary jack or
the USB port), the rear seat
passengers are able to hear audio
from the auxiliary device through the
wireless or wired headphones as
long as the rear seat audio is turned
on. The front seat passengers are
