Vehicles with the Universal Remote
System will have these buttons
located in the headliner.

This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use this system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature.
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have
another person assist with
programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote
control transmitter for use in other
vehicles, as well as for future
programming. Only the original
remote control transmitter is needed
for Fixed Code programming.The programmed buttons should be
erased when the vehicle is sold or
the lease ends. See
“Erasing
Universal Home Remote Buttons” in
this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the
garage when programming a garage
door. Be sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or gate that is being programmed.
Programming Universal Home
Remote —Rolling Code
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
after 1996 are Rolling 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. From inside the vehicle, press
the two outside buttons at the
same time for one to
two seconds, and immediately
release them.
2. In the garage, locate the garage
door opener receiver
(motor-head unit). Find the
“Learn” or“Smart” button. It can
usually be found where the

Black plate (57,1)GMC Yukon/Yukon XL Owner Manual - 2012
Instruments and Controls 5-57
hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit
and may be a colored button.
Press this button. After pressing
this button, complete the
following steps in less than
30 seconds.
3. Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and hold the
Universal Home Remote 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
20 seconds.
4. Immediately, within one second, release the button when the
garage door moves. The
indicator light will blink rapidly
until programming is complete.
5. Press and release the same button again. The garage door
should move, confirming that
programming is successful and
complete. To program another Rolling Code
device such as an additional garage
door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat
Steps 1 through 5, choosing a
different function button in Step 3
than what was used for the garage
door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the
garage door opener is probably a
Fixed Code unit. Follow the
programming instructions that follow
for a Fixed Code garage door
opener.

—Fixed Code
For questions or help programming

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 Switches
with 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
to right, into the Universal
Home Remote, when
completing Step 4.

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.

the radio faceplate or by the RSA
unit. SeeRear Seat Audio (RSA)
System on page 7‑45 for more
information. The DVD/CD decks
(the upper slot is the DVD deck and
the lower slot is the CD deck) of the

not indicate “No Aux Input Device.” If a front auxiliary device is
connected, the DVD/CD AUX button
cycles through all available options,
such as: DVD slot, CD slot, Front
Auxiliary, and Rear Auxiliary (if
available). See

File System and Naming
The song name that displays is the
song name that is contained in the
ID3 tag. If the song name is not
present in the ID3 tag, then the

track name.
Track names longer than
32 characters or 4 pages are
shortened. Parts of words on the
last page of text and the extension
of the file name do not display.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that
were created using WinAmp™,
MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™
software can be accessed; however,
they cannot be edited using the
