DobieG Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hi - These are the directions for the 1999 ES300. I would guess it works the same as the RX. Here are the directions right out of the owner's manual. For easy online access to the owner's manual, you should register your car at lexus.com - it's quick, easy, and very informative. Here's the link: https://auth.owners.lexus.com/lexusowners/a...2fssl%2fWelcome The HomeLink has 3 buttons and can be programmed to operate 3 separate devices. Prepare the HomeLink for programming by erasing all codes or the memorized data programmed by the former owner. Erasing the garage door opener memory Push and hold down the 2 outside buttons for about 20 seconds until the indicator light flashes. All memorized data will be erased. 1. Decide which one of the 3 buttons you want to program. Push and hold down the button for about 20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash. While holding this button, follow steps ”2” and ”3”. 2. Bring the hand held garage door opener within about 25 mm (1 in.) of the button being programmed and push the button on the hand held garage door opener. The signal from the hand held garage door opener is sent to the vehicle’s opener. 3. When the frequency and code is registered, the indicator light flashes rapidly. At this point, you can release both buttons. 4. To program the remaining buttons, repeat steps ”1” through ”3”. If you want to replace an existing program with a new program, select the button you want to program. Follow the procedure from step 1. If the transmitter has a ”rolling code feature”, it is necessary to program the in–garage receiver after programming HomeLink. 1. Locate the ”training” or ”learning” button on the in–garage receiver and push and release this button. Location of the button may vary by the garage door opener manufacturer. 2. Firmly push and release the trained HomeLink button 2 times (some garage door manufacturer may require you to push the HomeLink button up to 3 times) to complete the process. The garage door should now operate when the HomeLink button is pushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viprgurl Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 Thank you. After posting, I, by some luck, found information on how to program it, but thank you very much, the owner manual link will help me. Hopefully my post and your information will help out someone else too. :D Programming Note: For best results, replace the battery in the handheld transmitter with a new battery before programming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure the antenna is hanging straight down. 1. For first-time programming, press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons. Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the second (or “accessory” ) position during the programming process. 2. Hold the end of your handheld transmitter between 1 and 3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on your visor or overhead console) keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the handheld transmitter button and the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. 4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink Wireless Control System flashes, first slowly then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapidly flashing light indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.) To activate the garage door or other programmed device, press and hold the HomeLink button—releasing when the device begins to activate. 5. To program the remaining two buttons, follow steps 2 through 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgazsc Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 A word of warning on using Homelink garage door opener. If you park outside, be aware that the Openlink will function even if the key is off and removed. A simple pop of the window and a push of the Homelink button and someone is in your house. Might as well leave a garage door opener on your driveway. This is a problem with ALL Homelink units and not limited to Lexus. I've complained to Homelink(Johnson Controls) with no satisfaction. They claim it's a car manufacturer issue. :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgr7 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 My wall control unit has a button that when pushed keeps any remote opener from working. I push mine every night when I lock the house up before I go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless your crook owns a lexus or knows about home link I dont think the'll think to use the visor .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Homelink uses only 2 wires which are for power. So to modify it to only work with the key turned it is actually really simple. I would rewire it to the auto dim mirror or run a wire back to the fuse panel to run off a fuse that is only on with the key. A 10-20 minute modification.
