The HomeLink
®
Universal Transmitter in your vehicle can be used to open/close an automatic garage
door or gate, activate a house alarm, or control a lighting system or other devices. Such devices
usually come with a hand-held remote control that sends a signal to a controller to operate the device.
These instructions will help you program the HomeLink
®
Universal Transmitter in your vehicle so that
you will not have to use the hand-held remote control that was supplied with the garage door opener
or other device, inside your vehicle.
Fixed code or rolling code
The garage door opener or other device may work with either a fixed or rolling code. For garage door
openers or other devices with rolling codes, the HomeLink
®
Universal Transmitter must be synchro-
nized
after
programming the device.
Compatibility
Volkswagen recommends that you consult an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility about compatible devices
before you buy
a garage door opener or other
device that you want to control with the HomeLink
®
Universal Transmitter.
The HomeLink
®
Universal Transmitter can be programmed to the radio frequency codes of most
current hand-held remote controls.
Safety switches are mandatory for garage door openers.
