i read the manual and it said hold #1/3 till fast blinks... then press button u want to use... then hold opener till lights blink... did all that.. got the blink..

but when i come home and press the button it doesnt do anything...

is there something else im not doing.. or you guys got any tips? im holding the original "clicker" up to the bumper.. do i need to park it under the opener and do the programming that way or something?

thanx in advance

May need to press a button on the opener itself in addition to the remote for the opener. On our opener that button is red, FWIW. I think that also is in the manual under the rolling-codes openers, IIRC.

I just did this for my car today, got the directions from homelink.com. There is a "learn" button on the overhead opener you'll probably need to press in order to program your car's button.

Make sure you're using the "big" kind of original remote and make sure it has fresh batteries.

And be careful....when you press the button on your motor, you can erase the other remotes if you hold it too long (on some).

the fog lights blinked so im guessing that means it got the code... but still doesnt work..


so what im saying is... my opener works fine (main clicker), i "set it" and fog lights blink saying "yes i got the code guy" but then it doesnt work when i go to click my car's button.

am i supposed to be pressing the button again after i see fogs blink? or something im missing.

As I remember you need to push the learn button on the overhead unit once the car is set to learn, then you get back in the car and press the button on the headheld while holding it up to the learn buttons in car. Be sure to be clear of the door. Then get back in and press the car button to see if it works.

From your description, it sounds like you've only programmed the handheld remote code into your car. Keep in mind you'll also need to sync the code with the garage door opener's main control unit (the overhead unit in your garage). Like others have noted, there's a learner button on the main unit.

I had to set up both the Cayenne and 997TT today with our new garage door opener.
As the OP points out, the car will learn the code from the original door opener remote but it doesn't always then work to open the door. Hitting the magic button on the actual garage door motor to learn a new code and then hitting the button in the Porsche worked perfectly.

Just to echo what a few other have said, if your opener uses rolling codes, you need to use the learn button up on the door opener motor. Go to Homelink.com they have customized instructions that match vehicle make and model with individual garage door manufacturers.

When I 1st got my car i tried to program the homelink and nothing seemed to work. I tried again today, but this time I cleared all codes first and it works!! 3 devices..

Thanks for the link to JC homelink:-)
