How to program your car to a Genie opener
These steps are for current Genie openers with a square PROGRAM/SET button. It takes about a minute. You'll need a step ladder.
- Clear the HomeLink buttons first by holding the 1st and 3rd buttons until the indicator flashes fast (about 20 seconds).
- Hold the Genie remote about 2 in from the HomeLink button you want to use.
- Press and hold the remote button, then also press and hold the HomeLink button.
- Keep both held until the HomeLink indicator flashes slowly then quickly; release.
- Put the opener in programming mode (hold PROGRAM/SET until blue, then release).
- Press the HomeLink button for 2 seconds, release, and repeat until the door moves.
After programming: test the safety reverse. Put a piece of wood or a roll of paper towels flat under the door and close it. The door should touch it and go back up. If it doesn't, don't use the opener until it's fixed.
