ramblnman Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I took delivery of an 08 RX350 today. No matter how I struggle and strive trying to program the Homelink my garage door won't operate so I have to use the separate remote that came with the door. I have the same problem with my wife's 07 Camry. Can anybody tell me what the problem might be? Lexus has offered to come to my house and do the programming, but I'd hate for them to make a 2 hour RT for something that might be ridiculously simple.

LexKid630 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Have you looked in the manual? Your garage door opener may be of a rolling code, which requires a few more steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo2648 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The garage door opener has a "learn" button. You need to press that. And immediately press your HomeLink button 3 times - NOT 2. Let me know if that works. Rest of the process prior to these two steps I list above are as described in the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your feedback. The Lexus guy just left my house. It took him 2 minutes to do the programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnlmomsie3 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thanks for your feedback. The Lexus guy justleft my house. It took him 2 minutes to do the programming. Any idea what he did? Just took delivery on an ES350 and I have followed the procedure in the manual (I do have the learn button) including modifying it several different ways. No luck. It never does the rapid flashing the manual says it will do in the initial step. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyah Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yea what did he do? I know you took great notes in case you have to do it next time!! I have to do mine too....lol Giver us the rundown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnlmomsie3 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Well I at least managed to get to the rapid flash mode by using a different remote (both work fine opening and closing the door), but after pressing the "Learn" on the opener and pressing the Homelink button 3 times, it doesn't LEARN. I can see that the opener is receiving data (the flash rate changes) but it doesn't work. I tried clearing all the codes on the opener end (and on the Lexus end to play it safe) but to avail. As much as I hate to give in, I may need to have a Lexus person come out and set it up. Arghhh. :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Lexus guy(or girl) does something special I will post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badchap Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It is really simple. I followed the instructions online. I have a rolling code door opener so I followed the Canadian instructions and now it works great! http://www.homelink.com/training/train.taf JAson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex-RX Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey Ramblnman, don't feel bad - seems like we all struggle with this programing the homelink thing, but I did manage to program mine before having to call the dealer. Try following the instructions in the manual - EXCEPT - where it says press the homelink button 2x's Here's the trick - PRESS IT 3X'S IN SUCCESSION! I don't know why, but this worked for me after several frustrating attempts to do it according to the manual. Hope this helps, good luck!

mnlmomsie3 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 As previously mentioned, I followed the instructions from all sources but to no avail. I took the car to the Lexus dealer for a car wash and talked to the sales guy about the problem. He went through different possibilities, I had already tried them all, then talked to the service manager. They decided to pull the car in the garage and run a diagnostic on the Homelink. Seems there is a problem with the transmitter. New transmitter is on order and hopefully that will take care of the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
