Since you have a new opener, it uses a random security code that changes. That means there is an extra step required to program your home link remote. There is a security button on your new opener box that you have to push during the programming process. You will hold the remote up to the home link mirror and press both buttons like normal, then get out of the car, press the security code button on the opener in the garage (you will need a step ladder), then repeat pressing both the remote and home link button in the car.

For the specific instructions, read the home link program section i n your owners manual.

Yes, I know that. But thanks for sharing anyway. This is exactly how I programmed the other two doors. I.e. - use a step ladder to press the button in the garage door motor unit itself.

One thing that will cause your homelink to not work (and some of the hand held units as well) is the installation of LED bulbs in your garage door opener. For some reason these interfere with the signal transmitted. Ran into the same problem and a google search netted that answer. Changed back to regular light bulbs and it fixed the problem.

Hmm... this is interesting.


As a data point, I got a QX60 (renamed JX35) and the garage door openers programmed perfectly fine. So this tells me that either something was wrong with my rear mirror/garage door opener OR the newer QX60 has a new version. I would think it's the latter since they replaced my rearview mirror and the same issue is still present. The new unit that they installed cannot read the new garage door.


Thoughts?
