Programming Your Car's HomeLink or Car 2 U to Your Liftmaster Garage Door Opener

A garage door opener is one of the most convenient things to have in your car. You can open and close the door without having to step out of your car. However, programming your car's HomeLink or Car 2 U system to your garage door opener can be a challenge for many people. The process is different for different types of garage door openers, such as Genie and LiftMaster. In this article, we'll show you how to program your car to both types of garage door openers, and what to do if you encounter any issues.


Programming HomeLink or Car 2 U with a Genie Garage Door Opener

Step 1: Locate the Program/Learn Button

First, you need to locate the Program/Learn button on your Genie garage door opener. It's usually located on the back of the motor unit.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Program/Learn Button

Press and hold the Program/Learn button until the LED light turns on. This process may take up to 30 seconds, so be patient.

Step 3: Program Your Car's HomeLink or Car 2 U System

Once the LED light is on, you can start programming your car's HomeLink or Car 2 U system. Follow the instructions in your car's manual to program the system. In most cases, you'll need to press and hold the HomeLink button in your car until the LED light turns off.

Step 4: Test the Connection

Once you've finished programming, test the connection by pressing the HomeLink button in your car. If the garage door opens, the programming was successful. If not, repeat the process from step 1.

Using Remotes to Program Your Car's HomeLink or Car 2 U System

In some cases, you may need to use a remote to program your car's HomeLink or Car 2 U system. To do this, you'll need to follow the instructions in your car's manual. In most cases, you'll need to press and hold the HomeLink button in your car while pressing the remote. Once the LED light turns off, the programming was successful. If you are unfamiliar with or do not have manual for your vehicle, find a source such as google or your local dealer to assist you in locating one if needed. (This step is not necessary, but it can assist you in this endeavor.)
