HomeLink® UNIVERSAL

TRANSCEIVER (if equipped)

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides

a convenient way to consolidate the functions

of up to three individual hand-held transmitters

into one built-in device.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®

The following steps show generic instructions

how to program a HomeLink® button. If you

have any questions or are having difficulty

programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer

to the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.

com.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)

devices such as garage doors, gates, home

and office lighting, entry door locks and

security systems.

Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the

vehicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-

nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-

ming.

NOTE:

It is also recommended that a new battery be

placed in the hand-held transmitter of the

device being programmed to HomeLink® for

quicker programming and accurate trans-

mission of the radio-frequency.

1. Press and release the HomeLink® button

that you would like to program. The

HomeLink® indicator light will flash in

orange slowly and “TRAINING” is displayed

on the lower right of the mirror (if not, refer

to “Clearing the programmed information”

(P.2-76).).

2. Position the hand-held transmitter (garage

door opener remote) 2 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in)

away from the HomeLink® button that you

would light to program.

When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is

programmed, retain the original transmitter

for future programming procedures (Exam-

ple: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the

vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Univer-

sal Transceiver buttons should be erased for

security purposes. For additional informa-

tion, refer to “Programming HomeLink®” (P.2-

73).

NOTE:

WARNING:

Some hand-held transmitter (garage

door opener remotes) may actually train

better at a distance of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 12

in). Keep this in mind if you have difficulty

with the programming process.

JVI1689X

During the programming procedure your

garage door or security gate will open

and close (if the transmitter is within

range). Make sure that people or objects

are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.

that you are programming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned

off while programming the HomeLink®

Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe

exhaust gases; they contain colorless

and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon

monoxide is dangerous. It can cause

unconsciousness or death.

NOTE:

Some devices to be programmed may

require you to replace the Step 3 with the

cycling procedure noted in “If the device

has time-out control” (P.2-75).

It is possible for the HomeLink® to stop

working with the garage door system shortly

after initial programming if the Two-Way

Communication programming is not com-

pleted. If this is the case, following the steps

below will restore door operation.

4. Wait until your garage door has stopped

moving before completing the next steps.

5. Press the HomeLink® button and observe

the indicator light.

1. In your vehicle, press and hold the trained

HomeLink® button for

2 seconds, then

release. Confirm that the garage door is

moving. When the garage door stops, you

will have one minute to complete the

following steps:

If the indicator light remains constant

green, your device should operate when

the HomeLink® button is pressed. At this

point, if your device operates, program-

ming is complete.

on your vehicle to perform the next steps.

2. On your garage door opener in your

garage, locate the “Learn” or “Set” button

(usually near where the hanging antenna

wire is attached to the garage door open-

er). If there is difficulty locating this button,

refer to the device’s owner’s manual.

difficulty programming your HomeLink®

buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site

at: www.homelink.com/nissan.

3. Press and release the “Learn” or “Set”

button.

4. A light on your garage door opener may

flash, and your two-way HomeLink® indica-

tors in your vehicle may flash, confirming

completion of the process.

5. Pressing the trained HomeLink® button will

now activate your garage door. The status

indicators will show when the door is

moving.

6. At the garage door opener motor (security

gate motor, etc.), locate the “Learn” or “Set”

button. This can usually be found where

the hanging antenna wire is attached to

the motor-head unit (see the device’s

manual to identify this button.). The name

and color of the button may vary by

manufacturer.

To check if your garage door opener is

compatible with this feature, refer to the

homelink.com/compatible/two-way-commu-

nication website. If your garage door opener

has this functionality, HomeLink® mirror garage

door status indicators may appear after com-

pletion of programming.

IF THE DEVICE HAS TIME-OUT CONTROL

while the signal is being transmitted.

In some countries, the radio-frequency laws

require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or

quit) after several seconds of transmission –

which may not be long enough for HomeLink®

to pick up the signal during programming. This

“time-out” control may be applied to some

devices.

Step 3 with the following:

press and hold the HomeLink® button and

hand-held transmitter button in each step

without interruption.

NOTE:

position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 8

cm (1 to 3 in) away from the HomeLink®

button. Hold the transmitter in that posi-

tion for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink® is

not programmed within that time, try

holding the transmitter in another position

- for example, 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) away,

keeping the HomeLink® button in view at all

times.

When programming

a device, unplug the

device during the “cycling” process to pre-

vent possible damage to the device compo-

nents.

pressing the HomeLink® button that was just

programmed. This procedure will not affect any

other programmed HomeLink® buttons.

If a new device is not programmed to the

HomeLink® button, it will revert to the pre-

viously stored programming.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFOR-

MATION

The following procedure clears the pro-

grammed information from three buttons.

Individual buttons cannot be cleared. However,

individual buttons can be reprogrammed, see

“Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button”

(P.2-76).

IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN

If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the

codes of any non-rolling code device that has

been programmed into HomeLink®. Consult the

Owner’s Manual of each device or call the

manufacturer or dealer of those devices for

additional information.

To clear all programming

1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink®

buttons until the indicator light begins to

flash in green and “CLEARED” is displayed

on the mirror, in approximately 10 seconds.

Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.

When your vehicle is recovered, you will need

to reprogram the HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver with your new transmitter infor-

mation.

2. Release both buttons.

HomeLink® is now in the programming mode

and can be programmed at any time beginning

with “Programming HomeLink®” - Step 1.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE HomeLink®

BUTTON

To reprogram a HomeLink® button, complete

the following.

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®

button. DO NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will illuminate in green,

and after 20 seconds it will begin to flash in

orange and “TRAINING” is displayed on the

mirror.
