Homelink Mirror Question

[Charles Suitt]

<_< My upcoming 2007 will have the Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror with Homelink. Deal made, awaiting arrival and delivery.

Anyone here confirmed that Homelink will work with "rolling code" garage door openers?

Confirmed on my 2006 (both my parents had one, and i programmed them in back when i was still in Ohio).

There's a few more steps than for non-rolling code ones, but it's all in the manual (and duplicated on here multiple times, if memory serves)

Same here. I programmed mine in. It does take a few more steps, and you need to push a special "learing" button on the opener itself.

Yes, it works with my parent's, but it didn't work at first using the instructions on the garage door opener motor itself (using the "learn" button"). I had to read the instructions of the opener to find that there was a second method that did work.

My problem may not be a problem with your opener, just giving you a suggestion in case it doesn't work.

Yes. My parents and sister have Chamberlain (also OEMed as Craftsman) rolling code openers for both their garage doors, and my parents' gate is another brand. I have my HomeLink programmed into all three, and it works like a champ, despite the fact that I only use it on them every six weeks or so. You program in a transmitter into one of the HomeLink buttons (preferrably while the car is far enough away so it doesn't trigger the opener), then while holding down the HomeLink button with the car in range of the opener, press and release the programming button on the opener. I had to push the button on my parents' door three or four times to get it to take, but after that it's been fine. The manual has pretty good directions on how to program the HomeLink to emulate the transmitter.

THANKS ALL... for the informative responses. I can *ALWAYS* depend on PriusChatters for good information.

NOW.... All I gotta do is impatiently await arrival of my new 2007. My 2004 has been great, but she'll be going to a new home.

Page xxx in the owner's manual :P hahahaha. Lucky for you, I don't have my owner's manual with me right now (I'm kidding btw).

Yeah, it does work with rolling code garage door openers. You'll have to press the red button (training?) on the garage door opener itself in addition to pressing the garage door button + Homelink button. I just can't remember the order of instruction.

Tideland, you didn't quite get the scowl, the rolling eyes, the condescending attitude and tone of righteous indignation that are so characteristic of his pedantic pontifications when he preaches the virtues of his favorite literary work:

<_< 2004 Owner's Manual, pages X and XX...

May be different page numbers in the '05 '06 Manuals, but the information is found in your Owner's Manual. Although the Owner's Manual is not well indexed, there is a wealth of useful information therein.

2004 Owner's Manual, Section 2-7... - page XXX... (Not sure of the Page number on '05 and '06 Manuals.)

Lot of information in the Owner's Manual.

Owner's Manual..!!!!

My Owner's Manual, page XX... Section 2-3 Operation of Instruments and Controls. And it's even Indexed.

It still amazes me that Prius owners don't read the Manual. **SIGH**

2004 Owner's Manual - pp 136-137 Likely near the same page numbers in the '05 and '06 manuals.

Whaddayouknow... The answer is in the Owner's Manual Section 2-6 Operation of Instruments and Controls.

Lots of helpful information in the Owner's Manual - even illustrations.

If you notice, he didn't ask how it was done, but if it actually worked. That sort of information wouldn't be in the manual.

In my case, I used the manual to see how at first, but had to use the instructions on the opener I was going to operate as the Learn button trick didn't work.

Well, he asked:

The manual says it does. Isn't that the ultimate confirmation?

I followed those instructions. It took a few tries (and lots of frustration) due to the confusing language, but the Homelink unit in my Prius does work with both my of rolling code garage door openers, just as stated in the owner's manual.
