How To Program Car To Genie Garage Door Opener – EDM Garage Doors, LLC


Programming your car to a  Garage Door Repair Volo IL allows you to operate your garage door using the built-in remote system in your vehicle.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to program your car to a Genie garage door opener:

1. Prepare Your Vehicle:

  • Park your car inside the garage within range of the Genie garage door opener.

2. Identify the Learn Button on the Genie Opener:

  • Locate the motor unit of your Genie garage door opener. On the motor unit, you’ll find a “Learn” button. This button is usually located near the antenna wire hanging from the unit. The button may be colored red, yellow, green, or purple, depending on the model.

3. Clear Existing Codes (Optional):

  • If you’re reprogramming your opener or adding a new car remote, it’s recommended to clear existing codes first. Press and hold the “Learn” button on the opener unit until the indicator light turns off, typically for about 6-10 seconds.

4. Enter Programming Mode in Your Car:

  • Sit inside your car and turn the ignition switch to the “On” position. Do not start the engine.

5. Locate the Car’s Garage Door Opener Buttons:

  • Look for the built-in garage door opener buttons in your car. These buttons are usually located on the overhead console, sun visor, or rearview mirror, depending on the vehicle make and model.

6. Press and Hold the Opener Button:

  • Press and hold the button designated for programming the garage door opener. Hold the button until the indicator light on the Genie opener unit flashes, indicating that it’s ready to receive a signal from the car.

7. Press the Opener Button on Your Car:

  • While still holding the programming button in your car, press the button that you want to use to operate the garage door. Hold the button until the opener unit’s lights flash or you hear two clicks.

8. Release the Opener Button:

  • Release the button in your car. The Genie opener unit should confirm successful programming by flashing its lights or emitting a click sound.

9. Test the Remote:

  • Exit your car and test the programmed button by pressing it to operate the garage door. Ensure that the door opens and closes as expected.

10. Repeat if Necessary:

  • If you have multiple cars or additional buttons to program, repeat the above steps for each vehicle or button.

11. Finalize Programming (Optional):

  • Some models may require additional steps to finalize programming or adjust settings. Consult your Genie opener’s user manual for specific instructions.

12. Troubleshooting:

  • If you encounter any issues during programming, such as the opener not responding or the indicator light not illuminating, double-check the programming steps and ensure you’re within range of the opener unit.
  • If problems persist, refer to your Genie opener’s user manual or contact customer support for assistance.

Always refer to your opener’s Garage Door Repair Volo IL procedures and troubleshooting tips.
