Homelink
Universal remote
control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Home link
The HomeLink universal remote control can
be programmed with the remote control for
devices that are already present.
With Home Link, you can control devices such
as the garage door, security systems, house
lights , etc. comfortably from the inside of you
vehicle.
Homelink makes it possible for you to rep lace
three different remote controls from devices
in your home with one universal remote. This
feature works for most garage door and exte­
rior door motor signals. Programming the in­
dividual remote control for your remote con ­
trol takes place on the left side of the front bumper. There is a control module attached at
this location .
A one-time programming of the sensor must be performed before you are able to use sys­
tems with Homelink. If the system does not activate after performing the one-time pro­
gramming, check whether the system uses a rolling code

A WARNING
-Never use the Homelink transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as required by federa l safety stand­
ards. This includes any garage door open­
er model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de­
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards . Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
Homelink 161
- For safety reasons never release the
parking brake or start the engine while
anyone is standing in front of the vehicle .
- A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the
Homelink remote control is being pro­
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac­
tivated, th is can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components - an
overheated mo to r i s a fire hazard!
- To avoid possib le injuries or property
damage, please always make abso lutely
certa in that no persons or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equipment being operated.

bumpe r.
9. If the garage door or other dev ices st ill
fail to be activated w it h the Home Link
control buttons after prog ramming is
comple ted, it is possib le that these sys­
tems might be wor king wi th a rolling code
i ns tead of the n ormal fixed code.

s imilarly w ith the 3rd step if the program ­
ming connec tion was successful for the firs t
button.
Remote con tro l units for garage do or ope ners
in Canada are set to stop transmi tting radio
frequency signa ls after two seconds. This time
may not be suffic ie nt for the Homelink sys­
tem to learn the radio frequency signa l. Per­
form all other steps as desc ribed above.
Erasing the buttons

gine).
• Press and hold both of the outer buttons un ­
til the LED @turns off completely (abo ut

II>

Reprogramming the buttons
"' Switch on the ignition (do not start the en­
gine).
"'To reprogram an individual button, press
and hold the button until the LED@starts
to flash quickly (after about ten seconds).
Release the button immediately. The Home­
Link module will now remain in learning
mode for 5 minutes.
"'Continue with step 5 .
@ Tips
- The required distance between the hand
transmitter and the Homelink module in
the bumper ¢
fig. 192 depends on the
system that you are programming .
- Depending on the model of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program­
ming a new device, keep the button
pressed for at least 15 seconds before
trying again with the transmitter in a dif­
ferent position. Watch out for the emer­
gency flasher during that time.
Programming the rolling code
App lies to vehicles: with Home link
Additionally, a rolling code programming for
the Homelink universal remo te control is re­
quired for some systems.
Identifying the rolling code
"'Press the previously programmed Homelink
button again and hold it down .
"' Look at the LE D @ ¢
page 161, fig. 191 . If
the LED blinks quickly, the features, such as
the garage door opener, are equipped wi th
the rolling code .
"'Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the garage door opener motor
unit "'Locate the setting button on the garage
door opener motor unit . The exact location
and color of the button may vary depending
on the garage door opener manufacturer .
Homelink 163
"' Press the setting button on the garage door
opener motor unit (usually this will activate
a "setting light display" on the motor unit).
Now you will have about 30 seconds time to
perform the Homelink button programming
on the controls .
Programming on the controls
"'Press the Home link button that was already
programmed and hold for two seconds.
"'To end rolling code programming, press and
hold the Homelink button for two seconds
again.
"'The Homelink button may need to be press­
ed a third time to end the adjustment proce­
dure for some garage door openers .
After the controls have been programmed, the
garage door opener should recognize the HomeLink signal and operate when the Home­
Link button is pressed. Now you may program
the other buttons as needed.
@ Tips
- Programming the rolling code can be
performed quicker and more easily with
the help of a second person.
- If difficulties should arise when pro­
gramming the rolling code, consult the
operating instructions for the garage
door opener or other devices for possible
solutions.

Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Aud i dealer be ­
fore starting work on any modifications.
This will he lp ensure that vehicle function,
performance and safety are not impaired
¢ .&. .
Attempting to work on electronic components
and the software used with them can cause
malfunctions. Beca use of the way electronic
components are interconnected with each
other, such malfunctions can also have an ad­
verse affect on other systems that are not di ­
rectly involved . Th is means that you r isk both
a substantial reduction in the operational
safety of you r vehicle and an inc reased wea r of
vehi cle parts¢ _&..
Author ized Audi dealers w ill perform th is
wo rk in a professiona l and competent ma nner
or, in spec ial cases, refer you to a p rofessional
company that specializes in such mod ifi ca­
tions .
_& WARNING t= -
Improper repairs and modifications can
change the way vehicle systems wo rk and
cause damage to the veh icle and ser ious
personal injury.
(D Note
If emergency repairs must be performed
elsewhere, have the veh icle examined by
an authorized A udi dealer as soon as possi­
ble.
