2012 VOLKSWAGEN CC buttons

The buttons 1 , 2 , and 3 on the keypad in the sun visor can operate
up to 3 separate devices (for example, a gate and garage door,
house alarm or lighting system).

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:
1. For first time programming only: Press and hold the two
outer HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 at the same time for about 20
seconds, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light
above button 2 begins to flash.
This step deletes any old settings. Do not perform this step
when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter for your remote control de-
vice 1-3 inches (25-75 mm) away from the HomeLink keypad
on the driver side sun visor, keeping the HomeLink indicator
light in view, as shown ⇒ fig. 41.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the
HomeLink button you want to program ( 1 , 2 , or 3 ) and the
hand-held transmitter button, as shown ⇒ fig. 42. Do not re-
lease the buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flash-
es slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates suc-
cessful programming.
4.
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and watch
the indicator light.
If the indicator light comes on and does not flash, programming
is complete and your garage door opener or other device
should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and re-
leased.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays
on, proceed with the following programming instructions for a
rolling code device. A second person may make the following
steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device.
