BMW Homelink Garage Door Programming - The Only Guide That Works!
Рет қаралды 150,086
Күн бұрынThis detailed guide will teach you how to program your BMW with the garage door opener. Setting up and using the HomeLink system in your new BMW is a simple and straightforward process. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
Things you need to program the BMW HomeLink Garage Door Opener:
1. Get your current garage door opener remote. Move your BMW outside of the garage.
2. Be within range of the garage or gate but do not be in the path of door opening/closing.
3. Get ladder, open garage door opener control panel, locate the LEARN Button
4. Get in your BMW, turn BMW accessories on - but do not start the motor. Tip- Press the start/stop button but do not have your foot on the brake.
5. On your rear view mirror, press & hold Homelink buttons 1&3 at the same time for about ten seconds. Initially the light will be solid yellow until rapid flashing green occurs. - now all old code settings are wiped out.
6. Press button 1 until slow flashing yellow.
7. Now hold your garage door opener 3 inches from the mirror and push the desired button you want your BMW to emulate.
8. When the little light on the mirror flashes green rapidly let go of your remote button and push the button to be programmed once.
9. Now go up to control panel on the Garage door opener and press LEARN button
10. You now have about 30 seconds to get down the ladder and push Homelink button 1 on your mirror.
11. If you have another door to program, press Homelink button 2 until slow blinking yellow light appears. Repeat steps 7-9.

I totally agree with all the comments that this is the BEST video explaining how to program the car remote. I tried for way too long following the other videos and they all left out critical steps. I can't thank you enough for making it very, very clear. The part that's critical that the other videos leave out is that a) you first pair the car remote to the garage remote, then b) pair the car remote to the actual opener using the Learn button. As soon as I tried what you instructed, boom, it worked. Thank you!

Thanks, this worked for me- but only if the car was running (2019 X3). Tried it numerous times in "standby mode" as per the car manual and all other videos. As a last resort I tried it while car was running and it that did the trick. Seems like the power to the mirror was turning off in less than 30 seconds of entering standby mode and unable to capture the codes.

For the life of me I can’t get my E92 335is HomeLink to pair with my Liftmaster MyQ. I can clear the codes from the E92 mirror, but every time I try holding the mirror button #1 at the same time as the remote button, I never get the fast green blinks on the mirror. I’ve tried skipping waiting for the blinks, then pressing the learn button on the ceiling opener, then pressing the mirror button again, but no go. Any other ideas? I have tried like 5 times already with no luck, and with varying distance/angles between the remote and the mirror. And to make it even trickier I’ve noticed if I hold the button on the remote too long, it also clears the remote, so I have to re-pair the remote to the opener too. Pain in the nuts

The very good video footage commensurate with a clear explanation made this much easier for me to program successfully. And on the first try!!! Excellent presentation. Just remember that after the initial, in the programming BMW vehicle's rear view mirror (the 3 bottom buttons, within the mirror's glass green and amber/orange light indicators) with handheld remote in STEP 1, and then in STEP 2, pressing the garage's electric motor unit "learn button" (some are red/orange colored). At least on they are on the somewhat older Liftmaster 2500's). QUICKLY get back into your BMW vehicle (you have about 20 - 30 secs. to do this), and then press the desired rear view mirror button (any of the 3) at least TWICE separately to get the desired action of the garage door. Rapidly blinking green. Voila! It should be successful.

Great video. Got my X3 opener working after I could not. I made the mistake of "reading the manual". It is very poorly and incorrectly written. The manual implies that to program for older (non rolling code) openers, use your remote. For newer (rolling code) openers, use the learn button on the opener. It NEVER says you need to do BOTH for the rolling code. Also, almost NO ONE has a non rolling code opener any more. I think they stopped making them in 1996.

After numerous searches and attempts, I was hopeful this one would help based on all the positive comments. I have a 2007 E90. It has the homelink -I think- as evident by the three buttons on the rearview mirror. I have cleared the codes successfully. I cannot get past 2:10 where you talk about the LED blinking fast once it has learned the transmitter code. I have a genie garage door opener with Homelink. Any ideas on that? Is it possible my 2007 is too old to be Homelink compatible? Much appreciated!

We need to look into the 2007 maybe being a bit too old. This guide worked for most people. Make sure that it has the homelink though.

This didn’t work at all on my 22 M3. The car needs to be on to reset and then initialize initial connection to my remote. After that, with the car on, I ran in and hit my learn button, then came back out and hit the same homelink button again. That worked. Another thing is you hit the garage opener twice in your first phase. That’s confusing. Touch and hood home link first THEN touch and hold your garage opener button.
