1, 2, 3 - Programmable buttons
A- Light-emitting diode for status identificationHomeLinkThe programmable HomeLink replaces up to three 
original hand-held transmitters used to operate 
various devices (e.g. garage door, gate to the 
property, alarm system).
You can program buttons 1 to 3 with a frequency 
of an original handheld transmitter.
 Warning!
Risk of accident when using the HomeLink if 
persons, animals or objects are within the 
range of movement of the equipment that is 
being operated.
fWhen using the HomeLink, ensure that no 
persons, animals or objects are within the 
range of movement of the equipment that is 
being operated.
fObserve the safety notes for the original hand-held transmitter.
Preconditions for operating and 
programming the HomeLink:
– The battery in the original hand-held trans-
mitter must be new.
– Ignition is switched on.
– Daytime driving lights are switched off.
To operate the respective device:
fPress the appropriate button (1, 2 or 3).
Light-emitting diode A lights up during signal 
transfer.Note on operation
fAlways use the HomeLink opener in the 
direction of travel.
Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled 
out.
fBefore selling the vehicle, delete the 
programmed signals of the HomeLink. 
fPlease read the instructions for the original 
hand-held transmitter to find out whether the 
original transmitter is equipped with fixed or 
changeable code.
fAlways fit new batteries in your hand-held trans-
mitter before programming the transmitter.
Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the 
original hand-held transmitter.
Clearing factory settings prior to program-
ming the HomeLink for the first time
The following process deletes the standard codes 
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you 
program further buttons.
fKeep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 
depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light-
emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are 
deleted.

Operation, Safety Programming HomeLink with fixed code 
hand-held transmitters
1. Press the desired button until the light-emitting 
diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform 
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx. 
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm) in front of the marked 
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand-
held transmitter until the daytime driving lights 
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.Note
Programming HomeLink with changeable 
code hand-held transmitters
1. Press the desired button until the light-emitting 
diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform 
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx. 
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm) in front of the marked 
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand-
held transmitter until the daytime driving lights 
flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. To synchronize the system:
Press the programming button on the receiver 
for the garage door actuator.
Afterwards, you usually have approx. 
30 seconds to initiate step 5.
5. Press the allocated HomeLink button twice. 
(With some devices, the button to be allocated 
must be pressed a third time in order to 
complete the setting process.)
6. Repeat the programming steps to allocate 
other buttons.Note
Several attempts with different distances between 
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter 
might be necessary.
The daytime driving lights will flash once the 5 
minutes have been exceeded. Programming must 
be repeated from the beginning.
fPlease consult your authorized Porsche dealer 
if you have not been able to successfully 
allocate signals for the garage door opener to 
the buttons even though you have carefully 
followed the instructions in this chapter and 
the operating instructions for the original hand-
held transmitter.
Deleting programmed signals of the 
HomeLink
(e.g., when selling the vehicle)
Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 depressed 
for approx. 20 seconds until light-emitting diode A 
begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are 
deleted.
