If it is a remote and someone knows how to set it , your help would be
a big help.

Yes it is for the garage door openers. But sorry I do not know how to program it.

 

pg.146 HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver (option)





HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver
HomeLinkĀ® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLinkĀ®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand-held remote controls..
NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has been locked from the outside.
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration) on the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLinkĀ®'s indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLinkĀ® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLinkĀ® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLinkĀ® button has been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLinkĀ® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).

WARNING!

Ā· If you use HomeLinkĀ® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
Ā· Do not use the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train HomeLinkĀ®, continue to hold the HomeLinkĀ® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLinkĀ® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLinkĀ® indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed..
Programming rolling codes
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:
Ā· Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
Ā· If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Ā· Press the programmed HomeLinkĀ® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLinkĀ® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after the transceiver has been programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The exact location and color of the button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLinkĀ® button. Press and release the HomeLinkĀ® button a second time to complete the training process.
Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
The programmed button on your HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver
should now operate your garage door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, if necessary, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLinkĀ® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
Operating the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of hand-held transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the programmed HomeLinkĀ® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.
Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLinkĀ®'s indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLinkĀ® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous pages.
Reprogramming a single HomeLinkĀ® button
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkĀ® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLinkĀ® surface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLinkĀ® indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLinkĀ® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLinkĀ® buttons.
NOTE:
Ā· Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (i.e., if you purchase a new car).
Ā· For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver when you sell your car.
Ā· Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLinkĀ® Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.

 

Thank You !!!!!!
This Fourm is the best

 

Note -- I just did mine. Garage door openers built for sale in U.S. since about 1995 are "rolling code" ones instead of the old kind where you flipped a row of switches to match.

1. Deprogram the car unit by pressing the two outer buttons simultaneously and holding them down. The flashing will tell you when they're done.

2. Take portable transmitter and push it and the button you want to program on the visor simultaneously. The flashing will tell you when its done.

If you have a non rolling frequency opener, you're done.

If you have a new type of opener, read on.

Get a ladder and climb up to the powerhead of the garage door opener. You may see something that says "learn", or it will be a button that illuminates a small light. Push it, and push your visor button (2 people really, really helps with this job) and the flashing will tell you when its done.

I did this, with wife's help, in about 2 minutes.
