Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
For questions or help programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to
learcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are Fixed
Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out
and the procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Press START or put the vehicle in accessory mode.
SeeIgnition Positions on page 2-22for additional
information.
Programming can only occur when the vehicle is
running or in accessory mode.2. To verify that the garage door opener is a Fixed
Code unit, remove the battery cover on the hand
held transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener motor. If there are a row of dip
switches similar to the graphic above, the garage
door opener is a Fixed Code unit. If you do not
see a row of dip switches, return to the previous
section for Programming Universal Home
Remote – Rolling Code.
The hand held transmitter can have between
eight to 12 dip switches depending on the brand
of transmitter.
2-47

The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit)
could also have a row of dip switches that can
be used when programming the Universal Home
Remote. If the total number of switches on the
motor head and hand held transmitter are different,
or if the dip switch settings are different, use the
dip switch settings on the motor head unit to
program the Universal Home Remote. The motor
head dip switch settings can also be used when
the original hand held transmitter is not available.
The panel of switches might not appear exactly as
they do in the examples above, but they should
be similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter
could be labeled, as follows:
A switch in the up position could be labeled
as “Up,” “+,” or “On.”
A switch in the down position could be labeled
as “Down,” “−,” or “Off.”
A switch in the middle position could be labeled
as “Middle,” “0,” or “Neutral.” Example of Eight Dip Switches with Two Positions
Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions
2-48

3. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left
to right as follows:
When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.”
When a switch is in the down position,
write “Right.”
If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 3 now
become the button strokes to be entered into the
Universal Home Remote in Step 5. Be sure to
enter the switch settings written down in Step 3,
in order from left to right, into the Universal Home
Remote, when completing Step 5.
4. From inside the vehicle, rst rmly press all three
buttons at the same time for about three seconds.
Release the buttons to put the Universal Home
Remote into programming mode.5. The indicator lights blink slowly. Enter each switch
setting from Step 3 into the vehicle’s Universal Home
Remote. You have two and one-half minutes to
complete Step 5. Now press one button on the
Universal Home Remote for each switch setting
as follows:
If you wrote “Left,” press the left button in the
vehicle.
If you wrote “Right,” press the right button in the
vehicle.
If you wrote “Middle,” press the middle button in
the vehicle.

6. After entering all of the switch positions, again,
rmly press and release all three buttons at the
same time. The indicator lights turn on.
7. Press and hold the button that will be used to
control the garage door until the garage door
moves. The indicator light above the selected button
should slowly blink. This button may need to be
held for up to 55 seconds.
8. Immediately release the button when the garage
door moves. The indicator light blinks rapidly until
programming is complete.
9. Press and release the same button again.
The garage door should move, conrming
that programming is successful and complete.
To program another Fixed Code device such as an
additional garage door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-9, choosing
a different button in Step 7 than what was used for
the garage door opener.Using Universal Home Remote
