HomeLink® System Programming for Genie® garage door openers 

Clearing the HomeLink system happens by pressing and holding the first and third buttons down for about 20 seconds or until the indicator on the HomeLink blinks fast. Then release both HomeLink buttons 1 and 3. You only need to clear the HomeLink from your car if you do not have an unused button or this is a pre-owned car that may have a previous owners garage door opener installed. 

 

Programming the car's HomeLink using your Genie garage door opener remote

  • Choose the button on your HomeLink that you want to use to open your garage door and have a Genie garage door opener remote that currently operates your garage door nearby. 
  • Make sure that there are no obstructions, people, or animals in the path of the garage door since it will move during programming.

My Genie garage door opener will only allow pairing to one of my cars. I have two garage doors, one of the openers has accepted pairing to all three cars, but the other only allows one car. If I pair a second car the first won’t work, I tried all different orders and methods, again it will only pair to one car at a time

I’m having difficulty pairing my Genie GDO Model 7055 with 4 Original Genie working remotes (and 1 Outside Original Genie Keypad) to the Homelink on the mirror in my 2022 Nissan Kicks SR. I have tried Nissan’s directions, Homelink’s directions and Genie’s directions. I have tried the vehicle both in and out of the garage, with both the engine off and the engine on, with the learn button button both with training and without. Some instructions and videos show a Red Homelink LED button. My Homelink LED is solid green and only has a fast flash when I try any of the programming methods. I’ve not seen a slow blink or red like in the videos. I am the original owner of the Genie GDO 7055 and the Nissan/Homelink System, but I also used the method to clear all previous Homelink Codes. All my original remotes and the keypad still operate normally. The two remote that came with the opener were already paired, but the two extra original remote and the keypad were all really easy to program without any issues.

These instruction are not working for my wife’s 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I checked her owners manual and it says the same as far as the process. Any ideas/input would be appreciated. Out opener is the 7055
