Hyundai HomeLink: How to Program Your Hyundai Garage Door Opener

July 26th, 2022 by

Does your Hyundai feature a built-in Hyundai HomeLink technology? We bet you are pretty excited about it. A Hyundai HomeLink is a wireless control system that allows you to control your garage door and property without an extra remote control. However, most people fail to use the HomeLink technology because they don’t know how to link them to the garage door. But worry not if you own a Hyundai. We’ve got the perfect guide to help you program your Hyundai garage door opener. Take a look!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Programming Your Hyundai HomeLink

The first three steps in programming your Hyundai garage door opener are similar despite the code your garage door uses.

Step 1: Reset the HomeLink codes.

To do this, press and hold the first and third buttons of the HomeLink device until you get a flashing light. This shows that everything is clear. Clearing the codes is also a good idea when selling your car for safety reasons. After the lights flash, move to the next step.

Step 2: Align your car’s HomeLink system to the radio frequency of your garage door opener.

Pick the Hyundai garage door button you wish to program on the rearview mirror. Next, hold the garage door remote about 3 inches close to the HomeLink buttons. After that, press and hold the open/close button on your Hyundai remote while simultaneously pressing and holding the Hyundai garage door button you want to program.

Hold the buttons until the red lights flash very fast or turn solid. A slow flash indicates that the system is programming. In this step, the garage door remote acts as the baseline to provide the radio frequency so Home Link can pick it up and align with it.

You can determine the type of code in your garage by the light’s behavior. A solid light means that your garage door uses a fixed code, while fast flashes indicate that your garage door uses a rolling code. Follow the following steps for the different garage door codes.

Fixed code

Follow the steps below to complete a fixed code garage door setup.

  1. Press the HomeLink button you picked for the programming twice
  2. Check if the garage door responds. If it does so, then the setup is successful.

Rolling code

If the garage door fails to open as expected, it might use a rolling code system. There are different steps for programming a garage door that operates on a rolling code. You’ll need a stepladder and an extra hand (unless you’re quick) for this setup. To complete the setup process:

  1. Press the HomeLink button you picked for the programming twice
  2. Use the ladder to reach the garage door motor and locate the smart/learn button. It’s generally found on the rear panel or under the light cover, depending on your model.
  3. Press and hold the button until the light begins to flash. At this point, you’ll have 30 seconds to complete the setup process.
  4. Return to your Hyundai HomeLink and press the pre-programmed HomeLink button 3 times or until the garage door responds.

After the steps above, you’ll be able to control your garage door without needing an extra remote. But does your Hyundai feature HomeLink capabilities? Read on to find out!
