Just purchased a 2002 acura rl. We have no manual. do you know how to program a garage door code? there are 3 buttons on the driver side visor. thank you.

Hold any of the buttons down while you press the door opener remote and wait for alight in the dash to flash that the code has been learned by the car. You may also google "HOMELINK" programming for more info.

It is a PAIN. You have to be very precise and have good timing. I had to repeat the whole thing about 4 times before it worked. As a side note, a great place to read EVERYTHING about your car is at rl.acurazine.com it is terrific.


• This system accepts up to two transmitters.
• Entering the programming mode cancels all learned
transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must
reprogram all the transmitters once you're in the
programming mode.

1. Open the driver's door.

2. Push up the driver's door master power door lock to
the unlock position. Hold it there for the rest of this
procedure.

3. Insert the key in the ignition switch, then remove it.
Repeat this four more times within 10 seconds.
(Steps 3 and 4 must be completed within 10
seconds, or the system will exit the programming
mode.)

4. Insert the key in the ignition switch. Make sure the
power door locks cycle to indicate that the system
has entered programming mode.

5. Press the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button on the
transmitter. Make sure the power door locks (all
except the driver's door) cycle to indicate that the
transmitter has been accepted.

6. To program a second transmitter, press its "LOCK"
or "UNLOCK" button within 10 seconds.

7. Release the master power door lock switch to exit
the programming mode.

the handle is a small square under the dash drivers side next to door jam if u open drivers door kneel on ground look under bottom of dash bam! there it is. to set garage door fold down drivers visor and u will see three small buttons pick one don't matter, now hold down your hand held garage door opener button(close to the visor) and one of those buttons u picked until flashing light starts flashing rapidly (20) seconds. thats it done !!!if this doesn't work i will have to give u the rolling code instruction, let me know

these should be programable buttons for a garage door opener setup in your car...they can be set to the frequency of a garage door remote....

This should be done by pushing the button on the garage door motor as you would program an opener, push the program button then push and hold the button on the visor for a few seconds then release, push again and door opener should operate.

Hold down the 2 outer buttons until the red light flashes (20-30 seconds) and release.
Select one of the 3 buttons you want to program and press that button.
Hold the handheld transmitter 1-2 inches from the visor transmitter.
Using 2 hands, press and hold the button on the handheld remote and the visor remote at the same time.
Continue to hold both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes first slowly then rapidly.
Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins.
The transmitter is now programmed.
Note that if the remote doesn't open the garage door, your opener may have a "rolling code" or "code protected " feature.
If your opener has a rolling code feature then you will have to train the opener to accept the visor transmitter. See the owners manual for the opener.
I hope this helps you out. I do not have this feature in my car, I took the instructions from a ford manual. The manual also gives a phone number to call if you have problems 1-800-355-3515 (Homelink). I don't know if this number is still good or not. It can't hurt to try it out. Good Luck!

Those are HomeLink buttons. You can program them to work in place of a garage door opener or other infrared device like that. Just pick one, hold it down, press the garage door opener button while aiming it at the visor, and then release the buttons. That allows you to use the visor button instead of a door opener.

Depending on the name brand of the garage door opener, there is a button on it you press and you have about 30 seconds to set the button in the car to the signal. Read you car manual on how to set the visor opener, probably press and hold the button in after pressing the button on the garage door opener motor. Get someone to help you in the garage on a ladder. Mine is a Sears and this is how it works.

clear the 1-3 buttons on your visor by holding them down until you do not see the blinking light next to it ,after the light shuts off you can take your remote and aim it at the mirror or visor where your 3 buttons are located ,while holding down the button of your garage door opener press the button on you visor/mirror that you want to program it take a few minutes but it can also be programed from the opener smart button ,but you have to get the button in the car to learning mode first , you also can check your owners manual and it will also have information on how to program and also your car dealer can also do it for you when you get your oil changed! i hope i was able to help you and if i was helpful please leave me a nice rating thank you Sincerely glenn mayer

they can be programmed to operate your garage door.
