Homelink problems.. Can anyone give me some tips?

[bking]

I finally got my garage renovation done (Tacoma needed a nice home ) and now that I'm trying to get my Homelink setup in my mirror, it simply won't work. I follow the directions and it says the programming worked, but it won't open the door. It's an older Genie Intellicode 2. My wife's Subaru has homelink and it works fine. Any tips would be appreciated. I haven't used the 'learn' button yet. Last time I did that it made my wife's opener stop working.

You have to use the learn button to pair homelink.

You're using your existing remote to program the homelink on the mirror? Have you tried to clear everything out of the mirror? Pressing and holding the two outside buttons until the light in the mirror flashes fast and then try reprogramming it?

I’m using the existing remote. I did clear the button with the menu in the mirror, but haven’t tried two buttons at once

I had to put my opener in learn via its yellow button

Exactly - that is what worked for me as well.

On my genie, trying via remote doesn't work because it's an "intelli-code" so you have to let the remote step fail for it to prompt you for learn mode. Then hit the learn button on your garage opener motor assembly and while that's rapidly blinking press the desired homelink button on the truck up to three times (it'll tell you what to do on the mirror).

May or may not apply to you but keep in mind that many openers have a max number of remotes, usually 6-8, so if you have that, you could "kick off" whichever was the oldest in the programming order (keypads count).

On most all random generating code openers this is the process.

set up a ladder to your garage door opener so you can quickly climb up and press the learn button
1. park truck outside in front of garage so it can close
2. hold down 1 and 3 buttons in truck to clear all buttons
3. next steps you need to be fairly quick
4. take garage remote. press at the same time the garage remote button that opens the garage and the desired home link button on the truck until lights blinks
5. Now hustle to your garage opener and press the learn button
6. hustle back to your truck and now start pressing repeatedly the homelink button you decided to use. After a few pushes the garage will start to close.
7. only difference to all of these steps is a very few garage doors in step 6 you hold down the homelink button until the garage closes instead of pressing repeatedly.

As I mentioned before above you have to use the learn button on the garage door opener.

Happy New Year
