Subject: PROGRAMMING HOMELINK MIRROR TO GARAGE DOOR RECEIVERS WITH ROLLING CODE TECHNOLOGY
DESCRIPTION:
Several Hyundai models come equipped with HomeLink rearview mirrors.
Programming the HomeLink mirror to operate a standard remote-controlled garage door opener requires that the owner have one of the original
hand-held remotes. In the case of "rolling code" receivers, access to the garage door receiver (usually located on the garage door motor housing) is also
required.
Most garage door openers manufactured after 1996 incorporate rolling code, or "anticode grabbing" technology. This technology uses a coding
algorithm that allows the transmitter to send a different authentication code each time the remote button is pressed, never repeating the same code twice.
This bulletin provides programming instructions for rolling code garage door openers.
A copy of this bulletin should be made available to vehicle owners that are experiencing difficulty when programming their rolling code garage door
opener.
NOTE:
Some vehicles may require the vehicle ignition to be turned ON or to the ACC position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be installed in the hand held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for accurate transmission of the
radio frequency.
CAUTION:
Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent harm or damage.
Your motorized garage door will open and close while you are programming HomeLink. Do not program HomeLink if people or pets are in the path of
the door or gate. A moving garage door can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
Do not run the vehicle's engine while programming HomeLink. Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Exhaust gas can cause
serious injury or death. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop-and-reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards.
PROCEDURE:
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20
seconds.
NOTE: Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink mirror, keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and the hand held transmitter button.
DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapid flashing indicates successful training and the procedure is complete.
This also indicates that the garage door opener does not use rolling code technology.
Note: The garage door may open or close during this step.
Steps 4 through 7 are only necessary if the HomeLink button appears to be transmitting after step 3, but the garage door does not operate.
