Programming the Homelink ® transmitt er
The transmitter is programmed in two phases. For rolling
code transmitters, a third phase is also necessary.
1----------------.....:!i:l

keypad
Fig. 94 Front bumper,
driver side: location of
transmitter unit
Phase 1: programming the overhead keypad
1. Make sure your vehicle is within operating range of the
remote controlled garage door opener .
2. Set the parking brake~
& in "General information" on
page 107.
3. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine! 4. Press and hold the two outside Homelink® buttons
(D
and
@for approximately 20 seconds until indicator
light @::::::, fig. 93 begins to flash. Then release both
buttons. Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30
seconds.
This procedure only needs to be performed
once . It
erases the factory-set default codes and does not have to
be repeated to program additional remote controls.
5. Press and hold the Homelink® button
(D , ® or @ until
the indicator light @starts flashing
slowly. Release the
button.
- The system will remain in programming mode for 5
minutes.
Go to the front of the vehicle and proceed with
phase 2.
Phase 2:
programming the bumper mounted transmitter
6. Hold the original remote control at a distance between 0-
6 in. (0-15 cm) from the bumper below the appropriate
headlight for your vehicle~ fig . 94 (use the shortest
distance possible) .
7. Aim the remote control just below the
driver side head
light.
8. Press and hold the activation button on the remote control.
- May be different in Canada. If so, press and re-press
(cycle) the activation button on your remote control every
two seconds. .-,,

9. The emergency flashers will flash three times (after
about 15-60 seconds) when the programming is
successful. Release the button on the remote control.
-To program more devices, repeat steps 4 to 9.
10. Press and hold the trained Homelink® button and
observe the indicator light@=>
page 108, fig. 93 .
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is
complete and your device should activate when you
press and release the trained Homelink® button.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and is
then a solid/continuous light , proceed with phase 3 to
program a rolling code device.
Phase 3: rolling code programming
-A second person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
11. Locate the "learn" button on the garage door opener
motor (refer to the operating instructions for the opener,
as the location of this button may
vary by manufacturer).
12. Press and release the learn button on the garage door
opener motor.
- Note: once the button is pressed, there are 30 seconds in
which to initiate the next step.
13. On the Homelink® keypad inside the vehicle, firmly
press and hold the Homelink® button previously
programmed in phases 1 and 2 for two seconds and
release. Repeat this sequence
twice .
Contro ls and eq uip
ment
- Some vehicles may require the press/hold/release
sequence up to three times to complete the training
process.
- Homelink® should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded , the emergency flashers will
flash one time to indicate that the process has been terminated . In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9.
If the emergency flashers do not flash
three times (after about 15-
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat
steps 4 through 9.
Remote control units for garage door openers in Canada are set to
stop transmitting radio frequency signals after two seconds. This
time may not be sufficient for the Homelink® system to learn the
radio frequency signal. Perform all other steps as described
above. •

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical
mo difications are made.
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer b efore starting work on
any modifications .
This will help ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety are not impaired ~
&-
Attempting to work on e lectronic components and the software
used with them can cause malfunctions. Because of the way e lec
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not directly involved. This means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehic
le and an increased
wear of vehicle parts~

Authorized Aud i dealers will perform this work in a professiona l and
competent manner or, in special cases, refer you to a professiona l
company that special izes in such modifications.
