Hold down the button on your garage door opener while pushing one of the 3 buttons on the overhead console in the Jeep. It will beep when confirmed.

Go to dealer. Borrow a users manual. The procedure is easy. You need the handheld remote to synch the homelink to the door opener.

check owners manual there is a section on programing opener

First you have to clear any codes in there.
Hold down the outer 2 buttons until the red light blinks, could take a minute or less.
Then release the buttons, hold your garage door opener close to the button you want to program.
hold down the button on the garage door opener and the programing button until you get a blink from the little red light. That's it
