How to Program HomeLink in Your Hyundai

HomeLink lets buttons in your Hyundai open a garage door or gate. These are HomeLink's own programming steps. Button location and details vary by model and year, so keep your owner's manual handy.

Quick answer

Park outside the garage. Hold your garage remote 1 to 3 inches from the HomeLink buttons, then press and hold the HomeLink button you want and the remote's button together until the HomeLink light changes from a slow flash to solid or a rapid flash. If it flashes rapidly, press the Learn button on the opener motor, then press and release the HomeLink button within 20 seconds, up to three times.

Before you start

Check that your Hyundai has HomeLink. Not every model, year or trim does. On equipped vehicles the buttons are usually on the rearview mirror.
Park outside the garage, and keep people and objects clear of the door while you program.
Put a fresh battery in the garage remote. HomeLink says it makes programming more accurate.
Have a stepladder ready if your opener needs the Learn button step. Do not stand on the vehicle.
A second person makes the Learn button step easier, because it is timed.

On equipped Hyundai models the HomeLink buttons are usually on the rearview mirror. Button layout varies by model and year; the light states are HomeLink's.

Program a HomeLink button

Hold your garage door remote 1 to 3 inches from the HomeLink buttons.
Press and hold the HomeLink button you want to program and the remote's button at the same time.
Keep holding both until the HomeLink indicator light changes from a slow flash to either solid or a rapid flash. Then release.
Press and release the HomeLink button you just programmed and watch the light.

The light stays solid

Your opener uses a fixed code. Programming is complete and the button should now operate the door.

The light flashes rapidly

Your opener uses a rolling code. The door will not respond yet. Finish with the Learn button steps below.

Finish a rolling-code opener

At the opener motor in the garage, press the Learn, Smart or Program button. Its color and shape vary by opener brand, and the opener's light may blink.
Within 20 seconds, go back to your Hyundai and press and release the HomeLink button you programmed.
Press and release it again, up to three times, until the door moves.

HomeLink describes these steps as time-sensitive and says they may take more than one attempt.

Clear the buttons or reprogram one

Clear all buttons

Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for about 10 seconds, until the indicator light changes from solid to flashing. HomeLink recommends clearing the buttons before you sell the vehicle or return a lease. It is also a good first step on a used Hyundai with an earlier owner's codes.

Reprogram a single button

Press and hold that button for about 20 seconds, until the light starts flashing slowly. Keep holding it, hold the remote close to the buttons and hold the remote's button until the light turns solid or flashes rapidly. The other buttons keep their programming.

If it still will not program

Replace the remote's battery and try again from the first step.
Repeat the Learn button step with a helper so you stay inside the 20-second window.
Check compatibility. HomeLink works with many garage doors and gates, but it does not guarantee every opener.
Look up your vehicle and opener at HomeLink support, or check the HomeLink section of your Hyundai owner's manual.
Bring your Hyundai and the garage remote to our service department and we will go through it with you.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the HomeLink buttons in a Hyundai?

On Hyundai models equipped with HomeLink, the buttons are usually on the rearview mirror. Location varies by model and year, so check your owner's manual.

Does every Hyundai have HomeLink?

No. HomeLink depends on the model, model year and trim. Check your owner's manual or ask our team about your vehicle.

Why is my HomeLink light flashing rapidly?

A rapid flash after programming means your opener uses a rolling code. Press the Learn button on the opener motor, then press and release the HomeLink button within 20 seconds, up to three times.

How do I erase HomeLink before selling my Hyundai?

Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for about 10 seconds, until the indicator light changes from solid to flashing. That clears all the buttons.
