Garage Door Opener

The garage door opener (HomeLink® Universal Transceiver)

operating buttons and transceiver are located in the interior rear view

mirror.

The transceiver can be programmed to transmit the radio frequencies

of up to three different transmitters used to operate garage doors,

entry gates, home lights, security systems, or other radio frequency

operated devices.

A full list of radio frequency operated devices can be either

obtained via the HomeLink Hot-line or through the HomeLink

compatibility list which is provided on the HomeLink website.

For information, or for assistance, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.

Alternatively contact HomeLink directly at or

call the HomeLink Hot-line:

Toll-free: 008000 0466 354 65

+49 6838 907-277 (In certain countries difficulties may be

experienced trying to reach the toll-free number by some providers.)

Warning: Do not use the transceiver with any garage door

opening system that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as

required by safety standards. A garage door opening system

which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and

reverse, does not meet current safety standards. Using a garage

door opening system without these features increases risk of

serious injury or death.

Warning: When programming the transceiver to a garage

door opening system, make sure that people, the vehicle and

objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage

as the gate or garage door will operate during the programming.

Keep the original transmitter for future use or programming

procedures if, for example, you purchase a new vehicle.

This device may suffer from interference if operated in the vicinity

of a mobile or fixed station transmitter. This interference is likely to

affect the hand-held transmitter as well as the in-vehicle transceiver.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV

interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this

equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

Programming

Step 1 erases all programming. It only requires completing if

programming HomeLink for the first time or when erasing all existing

programming. It does not have to be followed to program the other

HomeLink buttons.

The HomeLink buttons can be reprogrammed individually but not

individually erased. Step 1 must be completed to erase all

programming.

1. Press and hold the two outer

HomeLink buttons, releasing

only when the HomeLink LED

begins to flash after 20 seconds.

All three buttons are now

cleared. The HomeLink system

is now in setting mode.

As a security precaution make

sure that all programming is

erased in the HomeLink system before selling this vehicle.

2. Hold the original remote control of the device to be

programmed at a distance of 4-12 inches away from the

HomeLink transmitter unit keeping the LED in view all the time.

The distance between the remote control and the transmitter

unit depends on the system being programmed. You may

require several attempts at different distances. Maintain each

setting position for at least 15 seconds before trying out another.

3. Using both hands,

simultaneously push the

remote control button

and the desired button (1,

2 or 3).

4. The LED will flash, first

slowly and then rapidly.

When the LED flashes

rapidly, release both

buttons. The rapid

flashing LED shows

successful programming of the new frequency signal.

Operation

The vehicle should be within the operating range of the gate or garage

door opener and the ignition should be ON.

The HomeLink system operates the garage door opener (or other

device) in exactly the same way as the original remote control.

When you have programmed the

HomeLink system, press the

appropriate button 1, 2, or 3 on the

control panel to operate the garage

door opener.

The LED will come ON when the

button on the control panel is

pressed.

For convenience, the original remote control of the device may

also be used at any time.

In the case of a standard code, the HomeLink LED is constantly ON

throughout the transmission process. For use with compatible

systems, no further action is necessary.

If HomeLink now does not operate the garage door opener (or other

device), this may be because the original remote control has a rolling

code feature.

Rolling Code Synchronisation

Check, by going through the following steps, whether or not the

garage door opener (or other device) is equipped with a rolling code

feature.

• Look in the garage door opener manual for clarification

• The remote control apparently programs HomeLink but

HomeLink does not operate the garage door opener

• Press and hold down the programmed HomeLink button.

With a rolling code system, the HomeLink LED flashes quickly for

a short time and then stays ON constantly for two seconds. This

pattern repeats itself for up to 20 seconds

If HomeLink was programmed with a rolling code system, then after

the end of the programming period it must be synchronized with this

system again before it will function correctly.

Follow the instructions below for Rolling Code Synchronisation (the

procedure will take less time with a second person to help).

Vehicle Security

The vehicle must be within operating range of the garage door

opener and the ignition set to ON. Make sure you comply with the

safety instructions even when synchronising the rolling code.

1. Locate the Training button (programming button) on the garage

door opener motor head unit. Exact location and colour of the

button may vary by gate or garage door opener brand (refer to

the operating instructions of the garage door opener ‘Training

additional remote controls’).

2. Press the Training button (programming button) on the garage

door opener motor head unit (which will usually set a ‘training’

LED to ON).

Following step 2, there are typically 30 seconds in which to

initiate step 3.

3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink button.

Press and release the HomeLink button a second time to

complete the training process. (Some garage door openers may

require this procedure a third time to complete the training).

The garage door opener should now recognize the HomeLink signal

and operate when the HomeLink button is pressed.

The next two buttons may now be programmed if this has not

previously been done.

Reprogramming

If a HomeLink button has been programmed to operate a device, and

you now wish to use this button to operate a different device,

proceed as follows.

This procedure will erase the existing programming of the respective

HomeLink button.

1. Press the appropriate HomeLink button 1, 2, or 3 which

requires reprogramming and keep holding it for about 20

seconds until the LED starts flashing slowly. Do not release until

step 4 has been completed.

2. When the LED begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20

seconds), hold the remote control of the device you wish to use

approximately 4-12 inches away from the HomeLink transmitter

unit - keeping the LED in view.

The distance between the remote control and the HomeLink

transmitter unit depends on the system being learned. You may

require several attempts at different distances. Maintain each

setting position for at least 15 seconds before trying out another.

3. Now press the remote control and keep it pressed.

4. The HomeLink LED will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.

When the LED begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.
