Audi Homelink ® Uni versal Transm itter*
-� ....... ..
The Audi Homelink ® Un iversal Transm itter
is located on the driver's side sun visor.
This innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current transmit
ters used to activate garage doors, entry
door locks, estate gates, security systems,
and home or office lighting.
The Homelink ® Universal Transmitter is ca
pable of operating up to three separately
controlled devices. The
Homelink ® operates off the vehicles
battery and charging system and has non
volatile memory. If the battery dies or is dis
connected, Homelink® will retain all pro
gramming.
�W ARNING
When programming the Audi
Homelink® Universal Transm itter,
you may be operating a garage
door or estate gate. Make sure that
people and objects are out of the
way to prevent potential harm or
damage. Note
Do not
use this Audi Homelink®
Universal Transmitter with any ga
rage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan
dards. This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982.
A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door
to stop and reverse does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without
these features increases risk of seri
ous injury or death.

Mobile telephones and CB radios
Mobile telephones or CB radios
should not be used in the vehicle un
less a separate outside antenna is
installed.
If you use a mobile telephone or CB radio in
side the vehicle without an outside antenna,
the high frequency energy (resonance ef
fect) emitted inside the vehicle can cause
malfunctions in the vehicle's electronic sys-
tem.
Moreover the unit achieves maximum
pick-up only if an outside antenna is
installed. �W
ARNING
Using a mobile telephone or CB
radio inside the vehicle without
having a separate outside antenna
could be dangerous to your health
due to the high frequency energy
emitted!
In addition, an outside antenna can increase
the reception range of your equipment. Note
Always heed the instructions of mo
bile telephones and CB radios.
�W ARNING
Always keep your attention on the
road and traffi c!
