Universal Remote System
Programming
This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use this system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature.
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982.

Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to have
another person assist with
programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote
control transmitter for use in other
vehicles, as well as for future
programming. Only the original
remote control transmitter is needed
for Fixed Code programming. The
programmed buttons should be
erased when the vehicle is sold or
the lease ends. See“Erasing
Universal Home Remote Buttons” in
this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the
garage when programming a garage
door. Be sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or gate being programmed.Programming Universal Home

For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go

Most garage door openers sold
after 1996 are Rolling 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. See Ignition
Positions on page 9‑18 for
additional information.
Programming can only occur
when the vehicle is running or in
accessory mode.
2. From inside the vehicle, press the two outside buttons at the
same time for one to
two seconds, and immediately
release them.

3. Locate in the garage, the garagedoor opener receiver
(motor-head unit). Locate the
“Learn” or“Smart” button. It can
usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit
and may be a colored button.
Press this button. After pressing
this button, complete the
following steps in less than
30 seconds.
4. Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and hold the
Universal Home Remote 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
20 seconds.
5. Immediately, within one second, release the button when the
garage door moves. The
indicator light blinks rapidly until
programming is complete.
6. Press and release the same button again. The garage door
should move, confirming that
programming is successful and
complete.
To program another Rolling Code
device such as an additional garage
door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat
Steps 1 through 6, choosing a
different function button in Step 4
than what was used for the garage
door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the
garage door opener is probably a
Fixed Code unit. Follow the
programming instructions that follow
for a Fixed Code garage door
opener.

2. To verify that the garage dooropener 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 is 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, “Programming
Universal Home
Remote –Rolling Code.” The hand-held transmitter can
have between eight and
12 dip switches depending on
the brand of transmitter.
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 is 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.
Example of Eight Dip Switches
with Two Positions
Example of Eight Dip Switcheswith Three Positions
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.”

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
