I haven't tried this yet but I gave up for half of the day because I couldn't get it to work. You're video has given me renewed willpower to try again.
Thank you for this super IMPORTANT "minor" detail!!! I watched a few other videos and none of them mentioned the key position!!! No wonder I couldn't link my car to the garage door. (3:35) Note: If your car is keyless, push the ignition button twice.
Hey Chris, I watched several videos with absolutely no luck programming our car remote control. Then got lucky and found your video!!! IT WORKED!!!! FINALLY WORKED!!!! The step that every other video was missing was the very last step where you had to go back up on the latter and press the "learn button" to actually do the final step of programming. Outstanding job! THANK YOU!!!
@troylollysaf9311 it may be under a panel you have to unscrew to locate. Check on Google if your model has a learn button and where to find it. Learn buttons can be found on multiple places and look quite different as well. But if it doesn't have a learn button, it may or may not work. Learn buttons are created for security reasons that create rolling codes are force the door to be open at the time of programming your car. It also sometimes makes you do it a few times to prove you're the only person trying to program it. Basically, the bigger the pain in the ass it is, the better the security. However, before rolling codes, you really only had to hold your button down on the garage door opener to your car and it would clone the code and simply just work. Very easy to program but also easy to steal your garage door signal.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was about to give up. No one else showed the reset or the 2 steps - first with other remote then the learn button on the opener.
You're very welcome! I never thought when I put this video up it would be so important and get so many views. But I'm glad it worked for 90% of people. Unfortunately even for me, one of the houses I lived at had a system that simply couldn't connect with homelink systems so I admit it's not the be all end all solutions but super happy it works for you
I watched 3 other videos and read the instructions for my car and for my garage opener before I watched this one and learned I had to de-program the remote before it would let me set the buttons!! This video is the BEST!!!
Thanks, I bought a 2008 RX350 and cursed Lexus when I couldn’t train the doors using their instructions. And of course they don’t mention any of this, so your video saved the day!
You’re the man 👍🏻👍🏻.. you did explain everything way better than the Lexus technicians.. I tried their way but it didn’t work for me .. but when I did watch your video till end and I tried to do it your way and it did work perfectly fine .. so thank you so much for the video it’s very helpful.. God bless you
Thank you for this! I've attempted this programming (according to instruction manual) MANY times over the past few years and always gave up saying that there must be something broken. Your step by step and pointing out where many go wrong helped incredibly! Serious can't thank you enough.
I don’t know if all homelink units are identical, but I had something weird happen. All 3 garage doors at my house are Python 2. My wife has a Honda Odyssey and I have a Lexus ES 350. Your directions worked great for each vehicle, however, on our center door it would only take to one vehicle. I tried multiple times. My Lexus would have it, but when I’d program the Honda it would go away… what’s even weirder is that I could see it still has the rolling code, because when I’d hit the center button on the non-working car, the light on the garage unit would blink. Tried that several times and one car would always take it from the other, but the right door could be operated by both our cars…. 🤷♂️ where it got really weird is on my last try, my car randomly programmed my leftmost garage door which I already gave up programming because we don’t have a remote for it. I thought I’d share in case anyone came across my comment and had any thoughts. Thanks for the video, it got me much closer than I did on my own.
Great info! The truth is this example does not work for every single car nor does it work for every single garage door opener I haven't needed to apologize because I don't need to because I don't own those homes nor the cars and this is free information but I also discovered on my own three houses that I tested this on is it worked for the first and the third but not the second at all I even watched my own video to see if I forgot something after figuring all this stuff out and I still at the end of the day could not get the second home to work and just stuck with the garage door opener at the time. But I've programmed everything from Mercedes Bentley's Audi's and Volvos alike and they all had quirks and sometimes you just had to do it over and over and over to get it to work but I'm glad you stuck with it so please give it up with a like and subscribe!
Thank you!!!! Your video saved us. Thanks for the clear instructions in video and writing it out in the comments. You were right about the key steps where errors can occur. Best!
I did it without that step on my es350 2010. But my 2008 rx350 and other Toyota vehicles have not been able to program. May be a problem with the receiver or perhaps the battery is low on the remote. I will have to troubleshoot
I am trying to unsuccessfully program a third door opener. So I guess I am going to have to clear everything out and reprogram the first two to get the third one to work right?
@@theittyreport I finally reluctantly held the 2 outer buttons and cleared out the Homelink ( will probably have to reprogram my other doors now ). I went through the process at least a dozen times for a rolling code opener to no avail. I found a utube that informed me that some Homelinks just aren't compatible with some Liftmasters. You have to install an adapter kit. Since my door is a basement door and not one of my daily used garage doors I will pass and continue to use the handheld.
@@denniswilson9317 just a heads up, I got this car to work on two of the three homes I've lived at since I made this video. I even rewatched my own self to see if I forgot something and never got it to work. Several people have had this issue and there is no solve for it. But the fact that you got two doors programmed means it does work, but confirms that your other door simply is not compatible. So it comes down to keep using the remote vs replace the garage door opener all together, which if money is no object, have at it!
So then do you need to program the button, like say #1 on the car, with the garage door opener remote first and then hit the reset button on the actual garage door motor until the little light comes on and then jump back in the car and press the button on the car again or do I skip the garage door remote altogether and just use the door opener motor reset button? Also, which light are you talking about going off after this, the light next to the 3 buttons in the car or the light on the garage door opener motor?
So here's the deal, this may no matter what you do not work. It even didn't work for me 1 out of 3 houses I lived at. When I did the video 8 years ago, it worked great but I moved into a rental home before buy my current house and no matter what I did, including rewatching my own video to see if I missed a step, it just didn't work. I think it has to do with the roll codes in the garage door system itself. I'd love to tell you the fix or tell you for certain it will or won't work based off your system but unfortunately there's just no way to troubleshoot your system over RUclips. If I was at your house I'd gladly help do everything to figure it out with you, I've helped a ton this way but there are several people on RUclips that screamed at me for wasting their time with a free tutorial lol. Either way, I'd make sure to watch the entire video, don't skip around, there's a section that clearly shows where it may go wrong so please watch it again in detail. As you see in the comments, it's worked for more than 50k at least people so it should work for you. But again, if you had a system like I had at my 2nd house, you'll need to upgrade the door or stick with the remote. Best of luck! Please let me know if you get it working
@@theittyreport I tried our garage opener, it's a Colman brand I believe. I couldn't get it to work. I'll see if I can research why it didn't with this particular opener or maybe I just didn't do it right for that opener but no dice on that one yet. Went to my mothers today to program it for her garage door but I forgot the remote, it's in our van and my wife was out in it so I just tried it by pushing the little button on the back of the motor and it didn't work. It works for my mothers 2005 Lexus ES 330 so not sure why it didn't work for our 2002 LS 430, maybe I need the remote to get it to work. I'll try again tomorrow
Thanks for understanding, one other thing I'd try just to scientifically rule out your car is to go to a family or good friend and ask if you can try and program your car to their home and see if this works. If it does, it's your door, not your car. I know it's a strange request but to codes are easy to delete but this is a huge troubleshooting step no one tries. Hope it helps!
Not sure. Full disclosure I did this with 3 houses that I was in and the 2nd house, old and kinda crappy rental just never worked. There's a few people that tried this and couldn't make it work either which I have no control over but it's helped a bunch of others so still helpful overall. But yes, it's not a guarantee that it will work for everyone
I've had a few people tell me this and it does depend on the remote and garage door. I've lived in three houses since this video and got the house in this video and the house I'm in now to work based off these instructions. However, everything I tried for over an hour on the second house simply just didn't work so I know your frustration. If you have another family member that will let you test it at their house to confirm that your transmitter in your car is indeed working at least you'll be able to narrow the issues down to the garage door or remote control. I'd also replace the battery in the remote as well as unplug the garage door for 10 seconds to hard reset it. That may do it but I'd love to say this works every time for everyone but that's why I have a bunch of thumbs down lol. Hope you get it working!
on my lexus 330 2005year I make 1step everything ok with that, realease when starts blinking fast. But when I press later homelink buttons they are solid, if I hold button its starts blink slowly, but I cant connect my garage opener, I press button and keep it but still all the time he flash slowly. I tried maybe 20 times. After and after reset my buttons not blinking, they just solid red. Maybe someone can help me with that
Damn it shit ain't working. I have 07 ls460 and the garage door opener is a liftmaster roll up type door. Wall mounted. I did all this and it dont seem to work. I'm thinking there maybe a learn button inside the garage door opener but the manual dont specify anything like that...
To be honest, there were three houses I lived in that I've had to program with my 2004 RX330. The second house I had to buy the remote from Sears to match the garage door. Nothing I tried worked either. This obviously worked for a bunch of people but not everyone unfortunately. And all manuals for garage doors suck so I feel your pain. Either way, you might just have to search for another video or just stick with the visor clip. Wish I could help further but some systems just don't like each other
@@theittyreport I finally did it. I think my mistake was trying to do it from within the garage, I finally parked it outside facing the garage and it work lol
Your car may be different from mine in a settle way. Unfortunately their are several people that have not had any luck with this process. I myself tried to get one of the rental homes I stayed at the link up and I tried everything and nothing worked. So in the end, so systems just don't work together. Best of luck!
@@theittyreport right! Now I got it blinking though rapidly for the next step and it won't finish the process I've been trying for days. It's all good. Would be nice to use it but. My garage has the capability to unlock and open on a app. So.... that's fine. Lol I can open it from different states lol
@@ms.kellam9616 that may be the problem, the more advanced the garage door is, the more secure it is. Some have rolling codes which means you have to program it a very specific way. Sometimes it also requires two people, one to press the button in the car, and someone to press the button on the garage door motor at the same time. This guarantees that the code to your system can't be hacked. This happened for a client of mine trying to sync up her Bentley. It took all day and tons of googling. Best of luck!
Just follow the directions. Unfortunately there is no way to program Homelink unless you have a remote for the garage door. It will not learn directly from the learn button on the garage opener.
I believe that's correct. However I had to do something like this to another system different than this and it had to be sent rolling codes from the garage door itself and required two people. One to hold the button in the car and another pushing the button on the lifter. It was a Bentley continental that has more tech in it than nasa. But I've had to tell quite a few people that this obviously works for some, but even for me, didn't work on 1 of the 3 houses I lived it since I posted this. I even rewatched my own video to see if I did it wrong lol. Nope, just is incompatible with some systems
I followed the steps and about two seconds after I push the button in the car the garage door opener light goes off but the door doesn’t go up and down. I’m at my wits end
@@michellekirkland6866 did you watch the entire video explaining how it can go wrong? Please watch it again all the way through to make sure you didn't miss something. But to be fair, some systems are simply a pain in the ass and just don't want to dance the same steps. I've done this for 3 houses and one of them just wouldn't work so it may not be anything on your end to do short from replacing the garage door opener itself which is silly. Hope you solve it!
Make sure you watch the entire video and do both steps. 1) garage button to car 2) car sending code to garage receiver in learning mode I made the mistake of doing just one or the other over and over again. You can easily be fooled because it appears that it’s working after step 1 but that is because he is hitting the garage door button and programming the car engaging the opener. Seems very obvious after you get it working but trust me this took me way longer than it should have. The manual is a bit vague as well. Thanks for the video.
Some are harder to find than others but In most cases if your garage door unit isn't over 25 years old it would have a learn button for rolling codes. But I've told a few people this video just couldn't help is on a very old house I rented everything I did to get it to work failed and I simply had to use the door opener the landlord provided me. I wasn't going to buy a new garage door opener for the rental I was in so I was stuck. But hope you find it. Good luck!
Unfortunately I will tell you that some combinations of systems will simply be a real pain to get to work. I did this video at my old house and it took me forever to get it right, so I did the video for others so they didn't have the same issues I had. Soon as I moved, tried all the same things over and over on a different system, nothing worked. It's a rental house so I'm just using the clicker they gave me in the meantime. I'd watch the video all the way through and look out for what I point out that caused the issue and see if you can get it to work. If not, it may just not work. Best of luck
Have you tried resetting it from scratch with the two outer buttons first? Keep in mind that this works for a ton of people but some systems are simply not compatible unfortunately. Best of luck
Trust me I get it. The reason I put this video up was because I couldn't find any information on how to do it so once I figured it out, I put up a video to help. However, I did discover that it doesn't work for 100% of doors. Some garage systems simply will not work with homelink systems. Got this to work on 2 of 3 houses since I put this up. Hope it works for you
This video is a confusing mess. I know your trying to help but alas. Watching your video is more confusing. I can get the buttons to slow flash on the console(cleared), but they never learn from the remote and flash fast. Held them for close to a minute. No go.
Oh and who in the hell says alas lololol, sir King Arthur, does thu have any clue to how we shall take over the dreaded door opener? We shall call in the dragon and burn the city to the ground it once forth came from thus ending the surge of hell plagued upon this fine earth
@@theittyreport I'm just being honest.... Video Summary: 1. Clear your codes 2. Oh wait, that not.gonna work, program the opener, no wait 3. Turn on your.car ignition or it won't clear...no wait.. 4. Get the buttons to flash fast, or wait...slow...but that won't work till you... 5. Get on a ladder and push the button...then...oh wait 6. Make.sure the codes are cleared and not flashing at all! Need I say more??? Its a poorly done instructional video is my point. Constructive criticism....is good!
@@theittyreport Chris, yes you called it. After wasting my time on something I can't do, I will share my experience so others don't waste their time either. The remotes I have are incompatable with this vehicle. It will never work with them. I have older remotes that do work properly. So if you have newer remotes, you may be wasting your time. Chris can rest easy now. No need to.police a badly done video for the author. Bet you wouldn't watch a movie he produced with 3 flash backs, after 2 flash forwards, and a couple rewinds.
Yet, look at all the people that I've helped. You being such a failed attempt to be human by insulting me first using ten cent words from a fantasy movie and then trying to explain what you tried to do to solve your issue could be your downfall. Simply put, I would and have helped hundreds of people for free because they asked for help. You took the time to show me how bad you stuck at life and how something as some as garage door perplexes you. And I'm pretty sure you're a Democrat so it wraps this one up as far getting you to understand reason and accountability. Ps, I got this to work at 2 of 3 houses in which the 2nd home simply was not compatible with rolling codes. See, if you were nice, I would have just told you that.
I haven't tried this yet but I gave up for half of the day because I couldn't get it to work. You're video has given me renewed willpower to try again.
Thank you for this super IMPORTANT "minor" detail!!! I watched a few other videos and none of them mentioned the key position!!! No wonder I couldn't link my car to the garage door. (3:35) Note: If your car is keyless, push the ignition button twice.

Why didn't the car manual mention Learn button on garage motor😢

Thank you sooooo very much. You did it!
it worked, thanks for making this video
Thank you sir!!
If you don't have a remote programmed, how do you program the homelink system in your car?
You are the man!!! Thank you very much.
Thankyou
How do you disable this so the green light does not come one?
Not sure what you mean. Can you tell me your steps?
I can't get it to work. I have the same vehicle, but I can't get it to program or blink fast.
I've had a few people tell me this and it does depend on the remote and garage door. I've lived in three houses since this video and got the house in this video and the house I'm in now to work based off these instructions. However, everything I tried for over an hour on the second house simply just didn't work so I know your frustration. If you have another family member that will let you test it at their house to confirm that your transmitter in your car is indeed working at least you'll be able to narrow the issues down to the garage door or remote control. I'd also replace the battery in the remote as well as unplug the garage door for 10 seconds to hard reset it. That may do it but I'd love to say this works every time for everyone but that's why I have a bunch of thumbs down lol. Hope you get it working!
worked like demonstrated. Thanks :)
on my lexus 330 2005year I make 1step everything ok with that, realease when starts blinking fast. But when I press later homelink buttons they are solid, if I hold button its starts blink slowly, but I cant connect my garage opener, I press button and keep it but still all the time he flash slowly. I tried maybe 20 times. After and after reset my buttons not blinking, they just solid red. Maybe someone can help me with that
I have an older garage opener that doesn’t have the learn button.
What if garage motor doesn't have Learn button😢
This probably won't work unfortunately
Hi I am not able to program my car door garage opener I followed your instructions but not working I tried many times and quit it
Damn it shit ain't working. I have 07 ls460 and the garage door opener is a liftmaster roll up type door. Wall mounted. I did all this and it dont seem to work. I'm thinking there maybe a learn button inside the garage door opener but the manual dont specify anything like that...
To be honest, there were three houses I lived in that I've had to program with my 2004 RX330. The second house I had to buy the remote from Sears to match the garage door. Nothing I tried worked either. This obviously worked for a bunch of people but not everyone unfortunately. And all manuals for garage doors suck so I feel your pain. Either way, you might just have to search for another video or just stick with the visor clip. Wish I could help further but some systems just don't like each other
@@theittyreport I finally did it. I think my mistake was trying to do it from within the garage, I finally parked it outside facing the garage and it work lol
@@quetzalcoatul1 did my program help? Glad you got it working. Please help me out by subscribing, thanks!
Very easy brother I thank you so much ur the man
Awesome! Thank you, this was so helpful 🙏
You're welcome, please help me by subscribing, thanks!
You're the man. Thanks!!
Thanks you really helped me out
amberloveswang you’re welcome
Nice job bud!
Mine will not rapid flash after I erase the codes. It only rapid flashes when I erase the codes
Your car may be different from mine in a settle way. Unfortunately their are several people that have not had any luck with this process. I myself tried to get one of the rental homes I stayed at the link up and I tried everything and nothing worked. So in the end, so systems just don't work together. Best of luck!
@@theittyreport right! Now I got it blinking though rapidly for the next step and it won't finish the process I've been trying for days. It's all good. Would be nice to use it but. My garage has the capability to unlock and open on a app. So.... that's fine. Lol I can open it from different states lol
@@ms.kellam9616 that may be the problem, the more advanced the garage door is, the more secure it is. Some have rolling codes which means you have to program it a very specific way. Sometimes it also requires two people, one to press the button in the car, and someone to press the button on the garage door motor at the same time. This guarantees that the code to your system can't be hacked. This happened for a client of mine trying to sync up her Bentley. It took all day and tons of googling. Best of luck!
hi , I try to do it in LS 430 2005 but I didn't work any idea ?
Just follow the directions. Unfortunately there is no way to program Homelink unless you have a remote for the garage door. It will not learn directly from the learn button on the garage opener.
I believe that's correct. However I had to do something like this to another system different than this and it had to be sent rolling codes from the garage door itself and required two people. One to hold the button in the car and another pushing the button on the lifter. It was a Bentley continental that has more tech in it than nasa. But I've had to tell quite a few people that this obviously works for some, but even for me, didn't work on 1 of the 3 houses I lived it since I posted this. I even rewatched my own video to see if I did it wrong lol. Nope, just is incompatible with some systems
Thanks a lot man!
glad to able to help!!!
I followed the steps and about two seconds after I push the button in the car the garage door opener light goes off but the door doesn’t go up and down. I’m at my wits end
@@michellekirkland6866 did you watch the entire video explaining how it can go wrong? Please watch it again all the way through to make sure you didn't miss something. But to be fair, some systems are simply a pain in the ass and just don't want to dance the same steps. I've done this for 3 houses and one of them just wouldn't work so it may not be anything on your end to do short from replacing the garage door opener itself which is silly. Hope you solve it!
Make sure you watch the entire video and do both steps. 1) garage button to car 2) car sending code to garage receiver in learning mode
I made the mistake of doing just one or the other over and over again. You can easily be fooled because it appears that it’s working after step 1 but that is because he is hitting the garage door button and programming the car engaging the opener. Seems very obvious after you get it working but trust me this took me way longer than it should have. The manual is a bit vague as well. Thanks for the video.
Just got 2005 RX330, thank you
Jeff Seabrook glad to help
i did not find the learn button /:
Some are harder to find than others but In most cases if your garage door unit isn't over 25 years old it would have a learn button for rolling codes. But I've told a few people this video just couldn't help is on a very old house I rented everything I did to get it to work failed and I simply had to use the door opener the landlord provided me. I wasn't going to buy a new garage door opener for the rental I was in so I was stuck. But hope you find it. Good luck!
I tried all this and did not work for me
Unfortunately I will tell you that some combinations of systems will simply be a real pain to get to work. I did this video at my old house and it took me forever to get it right, so I did the video for others so they didn't have the same issues I had. Soon as I moved, tried all the same things over and over on a different system, nothing worked. It's a rental house so I'm just using the clicker they gave me in the meantime. I'd watch the video all the way through and look out for what I point out that caused the issue and see if you can get it to work. If not, it may just not work. Best of luck
Mine doesn’t flash quickly. It just continues to flash. 3:00
Ponyboy Try starting from scratch and watch the video all the way through. I explained how this is an issue from me doing it wrong
chris schmitt Turns out I need a home link compatibility bridge.
Ponyboy having trouble with a 2007 Lexus. What is the homelink bridge
07 es350. Thanks!
Wtf every other video ddint work except for this one. They say to either do part 1 or part 2 if part 1 doesnt work. But you actually have to do both
The reason I put this video up in the first place man. I found it so hard that if you missed one step you're screwed. Glad it helped
no worries guys, i'm a music teacher by default. check out my music
Omg... Thanks
Chrysler 200 garage door opener
Pancakes and syrup
Mind never blinks fast
Have you tried resetting it from scratch with the two outer buttons first? Keep in mind that this works for a ton of people but some systems are simply not compatible unfortunately. Best of luck
More confused than I already was.
Awesome
“It’s actually really easy to program these”
Makes several mistakes , re starts video several times
Trust me I get it. The reason I put this video up was because I couldn't find any information on how to do it so once I figured it out, I put up a video to help. However, I did discover that it doesn't work for 100% of doors. Some garage systems simply will not work with homelink systems. Got this to work on 2 of 3 houses since I put this up. Hope it works for you
This video is a confusing mess. I know your trying to help but alas. Watching your video is more confusing.
I can get the buttons to slow flash on the console(cleared), but they never learn from the remote and flash fast. Held them for close to a minute. No go.
Lol, awesome. So happy you wasted time watching something you can't do
Oh and who in the hell says alas lololol, sir King Arthur, does thu have any clue to how we shall take over the dreaded door opener? We shall call in the dragon and burn the city to the ground it once forth came from thus ending the surge of hell plagued upon this fine earth
@@theittyreport I'm just being honest....
Video Summary:
1. Clear your codes
2. Oh wait, that not.gonna work, program the opener, no wait
3. Turn on your.car ignition or it won't clear...no wait..
4. Get the buttons to flash fast, or wait...slow...but that won't work till you...
5. Get on a ladder and push the button...then...oh wait
6. Make.sure the codes are cleared and not flashing at all!
Need I say more???
Its a poorly done instructional video is my point. Constructive criticism....is good!
@@theittyreport Chris, yes you called it. After wasting my time on something I can't do, I will share my experience so others don't waste their time either.
The remotes I have are incompatable with this vehicle. It will never work with them.
I have older remotes that do work properly.
So if you have newer remotes, you may be wasting your time.
Chris can rest easy now. No need to.police a badly done video for the author. Bet you wouldn't watch a movie he produced with 3 flash backs, after 2 flash forwards, and a couple rewinds.
Yet, look at all the people that I've helped. You being such a failed attempt to be human by insulting me first using ten cent words from a fantasy movie and then trying to explain what you tried to do to solve your issue could be your downfall. Simply put, I would and have helped hundreds of people for free because they asked for help. You took the time to show me how bad you stuck at life and how something as some as garage door perplexes you. And I'm pretty sure you're a Democrat so it wraps this one up as far getting you to understand reason and accountability. Ps, I got this to work at 2 of 3 houses in which the 2nd home simply was not compatible with rolling codes. See, if you were nice, I would have just told you that.
this shit was confusing
Yeah thanks for nothing I already knew about the rolling codes
You're welcome for nothing
Lame
thanks great video. Worked the first time thanks to your video.
