370Zune · 03-14-2011, 03:01 PM

Just got my new 370Z Friday, and trying to program the Home-link for my garage door, read the manual and still not having any luck getting it to link up, my garage doors have the rolling code please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

not sure wat you're doing wrong but are you hitting the actual opener's learn button(?) while you're programming your mirror?

it shouldn't be that hard to do...

Like ken said, you've got to get up on a ladder, find the learn button (you might have to take the lens off), press it, then press the HomeLink button on the Z, as described in the manual.

Some openers have a lock out I think. There might be a switch that needs disabling.

I found my garage door opener manual to be more helpful than the homelink instructions.

Good luck!

What I'm doing is pressing the garage door openers learning button it flashes red the I'm pressing one of the mirror buttons 3 times quickly like the owner manual states still not getting it to work. I will read the garage door's manual.
Thanks for the replay

Hmmm...I don't remember pressing the mirror button like that. I recall a solid press. I'm going to check the door opener manual now. Be right back!

ProfessorDave · 03-14-2011, 08:20 PM

OK, my Genie manual says press the learn button, then press the remote button you want to program ONCE within 30 seconds.

Hope this helps!

I have a Phantom garage door opener, I've gone by there instructions and still cant get it to link up. I know this shouldn't be that hard but hey its not working for me will give it a try in the morning.
Thanks

make sure you clear out all previous codes first and try again. sometimes it takes two to three times to get it to work, just keep trying it will catch it sooner or later.

kenoverbey · 03-15-2011, 08:44 AM

I haven't been able to link mine either...

First clear any codes by holing the first and last buttons untill you get the slow blink.
Second, point the remote at the mirror and press the desired button on the mirror and hold the remote button down at the same time, hold untill the light flashes rapidly.
Third, now climb the ladder ,push the learn button the door opener, run to your car and press the programed button on the mirror ( you may have to press up to 3 times)
You now should be up and running or closing and opening)

Follow my instruction.

(if you have a remote)

1st: Erase the previous codes by pressing the two outter buttons for 20 seconds.
2nd: Hold the remote about 2 inches away from the button you want,, and press the button you want to program and the remote. The lights shoul start blinking slow then rapidly.
3rd: Your Homelink should be program.
4th: repeat steps if it does not work

W/O a remote
1st: Erase the previous codes by pressing the two outter buttons for 20 seconds.
2nd: Find your "SMART/Learn" button on your garage opener/motor.
3rd: You then have 30 second to get back to your car.
4th: Press the button you would want to chose 3 times, until your garage starts moving.
5th: repeat steps if it does not work.

yah, your garage door opener got fed up with you and did it for you.

Could use some help here.

Picked up my 2009 Z last night. It has the homelink mirror with the buttons on it for auto dimming, etc. I noticed it wasn't auto dimming on the way home and figured I just need to check the manual or something.

Checked the manual and tried all the buttons and nothing. No blinking lights nothing. Tried to program my garage door, again no blinking lights even when holding both outside buttons to clear the codes.

I start looking more closely, and it seems the cable has been removed?? There is a plug on the back of the mirror, but no cable plugged in. I found a cover that will fit up on the windshield like a cable cover in the glove box.

I'm thinking the cable is missing? It was a used car so I'm guessing it got swiped, but would appreciate some confirmation before I nag the dealer to replace it.

Thanks in advance!
