    Is your garage door opener code hopping or not?

    If no, then press and hold the homelink button you want to program till the
    light turns on solid. Then use the opener within 8 inches so the car can
    learn it.

    If yes, then follow above. Once done, (so the car can learn the algorithm),
    then follow the garage door openers instructions to learn the car to the
    opener.

    Older garage door openers send out the same code everytime.

    Newer openers change the code on each button press following an algorithm so
    that a code grabber can't capture the code and open the door later on. That
    is called code hopping.

    Actually it's called "rolling code."

    If you really get stuck. Call Homelink, there is an 800 number to call Homelink
    in the owner's manul. They can help program or diagnose a faulty Homelink unit.

    The terms are interchangeable.
