After a frustrating hour trying to program the Homelink Garage Door Remote buttons in our new Ford Escape 2020 to the Chamberlain Garage Door openers, we finally were successful.
The trick was a COMBO of the car manual help guides and youtube videos
- Step 1: Use the "Program with Remote" method
- Hold the working remote near the homelink buttons
- Press the button you wish to clone on the working remote simultaneously with the Homelink button until the Homelink button starts flashing
- Step 2: Now Combine Step 1 with the "Learning button on the Garage Door opener"
- Now walk over to the garage door opener and press the learn button
- Now "press and release" the Homelink button you just cloned
- The Garage Door opener lights should flash, and you may have just successfully programmed your remote
- All the manuals and videos I had seen and tried had the two different methods and slightly different press and hold sequences and reset Homelink attempts. The issue was the instructions were telling us to reset before Step 1, and it that didn't work reset before step 2. This "Combo" of the two methods worked for me and I hope it works for you as well.
- For more background on this silliness, here's our current craziness related to all the methods
- Volvo XC40 - Use the "Program with Remote" method -- works the like manual says it will
- Honda Pilot - Use the "Learning button and Homelink button" - works like the manuals says it will (note the "Program with Remote" does NOT work on the Honda)
- Ford Escape - Use the COMBO of the two methods
- "Program with Remote" does not work on it's own
- "Learning Button with Homelink button" does not work on it's own
- "Program with Remote", then "Learning Button with press/release Homelink buttons" works like a charm

FINALLY! SOMEONE ACTUALLY BROKE THE CODE!!! Our last three vehicles, I just gave up and assumed the opener just wasn't gonna marry yet another remote. Thank you thank you thank you for figuring out the right combination!!! So much misinformation on here about one step processes that do not work. We can put the clickers in a junk drawer now 🎉. My door opener is a Legacy btw, so this process works with it too. Thanks again!
I think my opener is 15-20 years old. Worked in my '23 Ram and I'll bet money that it'll get my wife's '18 Genesis working as well👍👍👍
Glad it worked!
Thank you watched others yours only one that worked .
Thanks for the tip. Saved me on the nissan
Worked perfectly. Had to do the 2nd part with the learn button on my liftmaster 98022. Thank you!!
THANKS times a million!! You’re the man.
Glad it helped - would you mind sharing your vehicle make so others might find the method as well please?
Very helpful!! Was getting very frustrated! Thank you so much!
Thank You!! Me and my new car LOVE you for cracking the code!
Putting this here to help others in 2023+.
I have a 2010 Land Rover and a 2013 Elantra. I installed a new Chamberlain side mounted garage door opener in 2020 and had to buy the Homelink Repeater to get the vehicle’s Homelink to work with the new garage door opener. It worked great.
Then we moved in 2023. I brought my Homelink Repeater with me to the new house and installed a new side mounted garage. I setup my existing Homelink Repeater and no dice.
I called Homelink and they said due to a lawsuit by Genie that Chamberlain lost they had to change the algorithm they were using in their new garage door openers in 2022.
Any existing Homelink Repeaters do not support this new 2022+ algorithm.
Homelink released a new version of their Homelink Repeater in 2022 that supports 2022+ garage door openers from Chamberlain.
This new unit has a model number of RPTRMC. The “MC” suffix indicates this new version.
I threw out my old version and purchased this new one and it worked perfectly first try.
I hope that helps at least one other person from losing their mind. :)
Thanks very much for sharing the info!
THANK YOU! I was about to pull my hair out. Once I watched this, S.I.M.P.L.E. Maybe apply to Ford for the job to rewrite their owners manual section.
You are the man! This worked in my 2020 Explorer with Craftsman door openers.
Glad it Helped!
This worked for me on my 2021 Ford mustang Mach 1
Yes! Worked on 2023 Explorer and Genie 2055 belt opener.
Thanks! Worked on my '23 Explorer ST. 😊
This process also works for a 2024 Jeep Compass and Craftsman Assurelink. Thanks for posting!
Glad it helped!
WOW! Worked immediately. I was at my wit's end--2021 Ford Explorer Limited. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much! Just programmed my 23 Jeep using your video.
Glad it helped!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
I watch 3 other videos without success but now with your video 🎉😊
You saved me from a breakdown.
Glad it helped!! Would you mind listing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so others might find the video as well please?
The vehicle I programmed is a 2016 Toyota Highlander and the Garage Door opener is a Chamberlain Lift Master Professional Model 3280M 1/2HP
This worked on my 2023 Ram and Chamberlain 20yo opener when nothing else would
Excellent glad it helped!
Thank you so much for posting this! I was similarly frustrated that it was not working for either of my Ford cars, and the Ford instruction manuals were not getting the job done. Your demonstration was key to getting the remote to work for me. Again, really grateful!
Glad it helped!
I was having the same issues. This video solved the problem in less than a minute!
Thanks for sharing
Glad tp hear it helped ... would you mind sharing your vehicle make model and the make of your garage door opener please?
Worked great , thank you
Thanks for the video and instructions! After both method 1 and method 2 didn't work for my Ford Escape, I tried you're combo method, and it worked perfectly the first time!
Glad it helped and thanks for posting your vehicle make -- have a great holidays!
Thank you so much for this video, spent a couple days trying to program my 'new' 2021 Pacifica; nowhere did I find that I would have to combine the two methods. Just followed your process, and Bingo, I won! Thanks again for your advise.
Very glad it helped!
You Da Man. 2020 Ford Edge, same issue. Had to use BOTH methods
Glad it worked!
This worked for me on my 2015 Toyota Highlander. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Another thank you for you, good sir!
Worked 100% after messing around with owner manual steps for 45 minutes. Thanks
Thank you very much, your instructions worked on the first try👍
Glad it helped! Would you mind posting your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so others might find the solution as well please?
Found your video to be very helpful. I had it all connected in less than 30sec. The Ford video was not as clear on the process. Thanks again 👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for posting this man! This worked for me on my dad's 2019 Ford Edge.
Glad it helped -- was crazy frustrating before lucking into figuring this out.
Just used this on my dad's 2019 Ford Edge also and it worked
@@kalsorcwow Thanks!
I have a 2019 edge and I am still trying! It is frustrating. Any tips?
@@ZBark22 So what I did was clear the homelink first. Then press the remote and homelink button (middle) for about 5 seconds. Then I ran to the garage door unit and pressed the homelink there for a few seconds. Then ran back to the car and when I pressed the same homelink button (middle) from earlier it worked.
This worked for my 2024 outback. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Thank you. I was facing the same contradictory instructions, tried for 15+ minutes with no success, then searched online & found this video. Done in < 1 minute.
Glad it helped ... it's too bad it's so different between the various car models and years
After watching your video I moved the car out of the garage to program homelink using the Learn button on the unit.
I tried repeatedly with the car in the garage and it would not connect.
THANK YOU!
Glad it helped!
After several hours of trying the operator's manual, getting extremely impatient, this worked for me. Less than 10 minutes had both doors working correctly! Thanks
Glad it helped!
Adding this text so people with the same problem find your answer, because it worked.
This worked for pairing a Chamberlain 1/2hp garage door opener with red learning button (rolling code) to Homelink on a 2010 Toyota Venza.
I did all of the above, plus I changed the CR2032 battery in the remote. I also did the first part (teaching Homelink the opener code) when I was out of range of the garage.
When I came back, the Learn light was blinking orange. I pressed it, and the opener blinker once and then Homelink now works in my Venza.
Thank you, this worked perfectly, where the other tutorials just doing either step 1 or just step 2 didn’t!
Glad it helped! Would you mind sharing your vehicle model and the make of the garage door opener so others might find the video?
Thank you so much for sharing the video and solution.
Glad it helped -- would you mind sharing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand?
Thanks, I'm a hero now. Just like you.
Glad it helped! Would you mind sharing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand?
Thanks for this trick… worked on both of my cars at first try…
Glad it helped! Would you mind listing your vehicle models and the brand of your garage door opener so others might find it with a search?
Thanks for putting this together...saved me a lot (more) frustration!
Glad it helped! Would you mind listing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so others might find the solution too please?
Thanks for the Video. The instructions say to Hold the buttons on both the Transmitter and Receiver at the same time, then once the Transmitter starts to blink release each button. Well that does not always work. I pressed the Transmitter button once then pressed and held the Car Home link button down until it stopped flashing and it made a sound. Then I pressed the Home Link button again and the door functioned. The Manufacture can't even write the correct instructions.
Thank you!!! Finally worked for our F150
Glad it helped!
Oh heck yes… finally!
This helped a lot - thank you!!
Thank you so much spent so much time trying to get to work
Glad it helped! Would you mind listed your vehicle model and the brand of garage door opener so others can find the video?
This video has been a godsend. Thank you so much for sharing.
Very glad it was helpful - -would you mind sharing your vehicle make and garage opener brand so others might find it as well?
@@kalsorcwow Certainly. I paired the Homelink on a 2022 Mazda CX-9 to an old (over 22 years) Liftmaster using a no-name replacement remote.
My man....thank you! I was about to give up after 2 days of frustration. You are a genius. For reference, it worked on an Acura ILX with a Genie garage opener.
Very glad it helped ... it's a crazy annoying when those buttons are not programmable following the instructions.
After you pressed the button on the motor are pressing and holding on the homelink button or just pressing it
On my setup, when I return to the car after pressing the learning button on the door opening unit, I just press for about a second until the door opening unit flashes the garage lights
The second run through in the video shows the press and the garage light flash
Hallelujah
I get to the last step where you press the home link button 3 times, the light blinks once with the 1st press but the 2nd and 3rd do nothing. The garage door never moves. Anyone have this issue and a solution? 2023 Jeep Gladiator.
Hi all - for anyone still having issues. Once the remote is programmed to the home link button - press the learn button on garage door opener itself - go back to vehicle and press the home link button 3 times! Don’t hold it. Just press it 3 times giving it a couple seconds between each press.
Would you mind listing your make and model of car and garage door opener which this applied to please?
2019 Volvo S60
This worked for my 2023 Ford Edge... the instructions in manual for the car are incorrect.
@@robertcook9416 This is because the process for Homelink openers are usually the same, so your Ford Edge 2023's manual may have just used the same steps from other cars
This just worked, awesome!
I think the problem is that Ford and other manufacturers didn’t think we would clear the first procedure after I didn’t work. Had I not kept clearing the first training method, it would have worked. Thanks for the help. I’m commenting multiple times and liking to get this more relevancy in the algorithm. Excellent video. This is why the TH-cam platform/community is fantastic: the PEOPLE!!!
Glad it helped and thank you!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
Glad it helped :)
This worked for us on our 'Overhead' garage door. ! We wasted three hours before finding the answer in your video.
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU! This worked for my husbands 2023 Raptor R after spending way too much time trying to follow the vague manual
Glad it helped!
THIS!!! This really worked!!! 🎉
Glad it helped!
Worked perfectly! Thanks!
Excellent! Would you mind sharing your vehicle make and the brand of the garage door opener?
Nice. Only video that helped. Thanks
Glad it worked for you ... seems I should ask folks to put their car model and garage door type to help others
The one video that worked!! Thank you!!
Glad it helped - would you mind sharing your vehivle make an brand of garage door opener so other's might find the video in a search?
Thank you so much! I've lost count of how many videos I've tried before this one and yours worked perfectly!
Glad it helped! Would you mind sharing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so other's might find the video in a search?
First off thank you! Secondly, Ford needs to step their instruction game up if they want to over complicate things lol
You largely improved my quality of life, bro!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much! I’ve spent hours and then found your video and in 10 seconds it’s working!!! 🙏🏽
Glad it worked! Do you mind posting your vehicle make and model and the garage door opener brand?
@@kalsorcwow It’s a 2018 Ford Escape Titanium and Homelink
Thank you. Yes I cleared the home link button from any preexisting programs. Basically do both training methods process Ford recommends & boom!
Thank you!!!
THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much. I have the same opener with rolling code. Tried the learning button and immediately pushed the home link for two seconds as stated in my 2021 Passport manual. Nothing!! Tried the two step process as you explained. Walla, it works perfectly. Damn thing was driving me crazy. When I bought the car in January of 2021 it worked without the two step. You explained the process perfectly! Again, thank you very much.
Hell yeah. Finally got it!! Thanks
Glad it helped! Would you mind commenting your vehicle make/model and your garage door opener brands so others might find the video please?
Awesome! Just bought a brand new F250 and nothing worked according to the Ford instructions. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
I just installed a chamberlain garage door opener and was having the same problem. After about 2 hours i searched youtube and found your video.
I then programed my opener in a couple of minutes.
Thank You for the detailed video.
I wonder if you really need the Compatibility Bridge that chamberlain is selling at all?
Glad to hear it worked for you ... I seriously believe the "spec" for the homelink circuit packs has some weird variance in them. Even cars from the same manufacturer can behave differently. I used to have a Ford Edge and don't remember having this silliness.
Genius! Couldn’t get 2022 F350 to program and this worked.
You, sir, are a genius. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The Ford manual has the worst instructions ever
Thank you! Finally worked.
Do you mind listing your vehicle type and year so others might find the solution too?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Driving me crazy! This procedure not mentioned anywhere else I can find. Worked like a charm. TWO vehicles. Appreciate your posting - did I say Thank you!!!??
Very glad it worked for you. Would you mind listing the vehicle make and the brand of the garage door opener to help others maybe find the solution? Have a great day!
Once I cloned the remote it started working. I went ahead and programmed it with the learn button anyways.
Thank you! I was struggling for hours trying to figure it out for our Ford truck. This worked!
Glad it worked!
Thank you so much! Spent an hour trying to program my 2020 Lincoln MKZ to my Genie garage door before I saw this video. Worked like a charm!
After an hour of trying I say thank you for #2 . Ford 2017 Expedition...the homelink would only program through the garage opener.....did not have to reset...I could never get the remote programming to work.......easy but no luck......Thanks
G;ad it helped!
Thank you. None of the instructions for our 2022 Highlander was working! We tried the “train the remote” then do the learn thing and it WORKED!!! Thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
I just used your proceedure to program my daughters Ford Escape Built in remote after we changed the openers to a Liftmaster door Opener. Your two step method worked.
I thnk I know why we had to do this twice.
Depending on the manufacture, the remotes will operate on different frequencies, commonly around 315 MHZ. The frequency is different on the new opener. I confirmed this using SDR Sharp a computer application that provides a very wide band RF spectrum analyzer.
So, when we perform step one, the car built in remote recognizes the new frequency and remembers this as the frequency to transmit on. Now with this set, we now can push the learn button on the actual door opener, and it will communicate properly with car remote.
Strange that this is not explained online anywhere that I could find.
Thank you for posting this video.
WOW! Fantastic analysis -- thank you for sharing the theory behind what is happening -- super appreciated.
I have a 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor and a 2003 LiftMaster and I was able to make it work with the guidance in this video and the instructions listed on pages 139-141 in the 2022 Bronco's owners manual (PDF) version. Thanks. I am curious which overhead door openers work with either the hand-held transmitter or the garage door opener motor and not both and why Ford has not updated their documentation.
Glad it worked for you ... I wish I had an answer, but also it's weird that two other of my vehicles and even another 2011 model Ford didn't have to go through this multi-step config. I would wildly guess it is something with the "new batch" of Homelink chips Ford is using these days.
Worked finally thanks.
Glad it helped ... would you mind leaving your vehicle make and garage door opener brand in a comment so others might find this as well?
A true hero! Thank you so so much!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this video. As all the other comments have stated, this is what finally worked for me too.
I first tried doing it without the remote control (using the learn button on the garage opener), since I didn’t have access to it at the time (it was in my wife’s car) but it didn’t work. Finally got the remote and it worked the first time.
Glad it helped!
Lifesaver right here. This solved my problem.

@@kalsorcwow not a problem. 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E. Liftmaster Professional, 1/3 hp
Thank you so much!! I’ve been trying program this for 3 weeks. If only the owner’s manual was as clear as your instruction. Thank you for figuring this out and for sharing it!
Glad it helped!
Many thanks... the right way for my older opener.
Glad it helped. Would you mind listing your vehicle model to help others if they are searching?
@@kalsorcwow VW Golf GTI 2022 with a Raynor 1/3 HP Garage door opener - Date 03/2001.
I suspect the code learned from the remote is altered when received by Homelink. The button on the GDO allows adding that altered code to the GDOpener.
Dude, you’re rockstar! 🤙🏼
Thank You for sharing your experiences on this platform. Worked perfectly for my wife’s 2023 Bronco and now she’s a happy camper!
Glad it helped! Thanks for posting your vehicle type
Wow..I must have cleared the memory on my homelimk mirror opener and tried programming with the remote and with just the learning button 20 different times. Based on my other car, my opener has a rolling code, and programmed it fine with the rolling code option. I finally gave up on programming my 2012 Mazda CX9. Found your video and tried one last time with what you posted, and it worked! I did have to press my homelink button a 2nd and third time before it worked, which is what the manual says for the standard way. Thank you for your post!
Glad it helped -- such a frustrating thing when it is not working
You are a genius! This method worked for my old ass chaimberlain
Thank you. This worked for me on a 2020 Subaru with an older Lift Master. No need to buy a new Home link receiver. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
This was spot on! Thank you!!
Glad it helped - would you mind posting your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so other's might find it via search?
Thks! As u, I was clearing codes. We have 3 other Fords programmed with no problems, but the Lariat needed this procedure.
Glad it worked for you!
Ford owes you $$. Thank you for the video it worked perfectly.
Thank you, this worked. Have never been able to get homelink to work on my car.
Thank you! I spent forever following the manual without any progress and these steps got it on the first try. Amazing!!
Glad it helped! Would you mind sharing your vehicle make and garage door opener brand so others might find this via searches?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get our new 2023 Chrysler Pacifica linked up to our Genie door opener. The combined method finally worked 🎉🎉🎉
Glad it helped!
Thank you!!! I was getting really frustrated and luckily I came across this video before I gave up. Just like you… my Volvo programmed with no issues but my Honda Odyssey wasn’t working…. you’re video did the trick!
Glad it worked for you! Such an annoying thing to have to deal with in a new vehicle.
OMG thank you who knew you would have to combine both methods wish I had seen your video first !!!!! Wasted hours and was about to give up. Thanks again!!!!
Glad it worked ... would you mind posting your vehicle make and model, and the make of the garage door opener so that others might find it too please?
I just watched this and you helped me get my homelink working! I also have a 20+ year old Chamberlain haha! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
