What is HomeLink®?

If you’re thinking of purchasing a Chevy car, truck, or SUV, you’ve more than likely heard of the HomeLink® system. But what exactly is HomeLink®? It’s a wireless control system built into Chevy-brand vehicles that allows Paducah owners to:

• Turn on/off home interior and exterior lights, appliances, and other in-home electronics
• Activate/deactivate home security systems
• Open and close garage doors or automatic gates

If you’re ready to explore this cutting-edge technology further, read our Country Chevrolet of Benton guide on how to program the HomeLink® system. 

Advantages of HomeLink®

Calvert City drivers who own a HomeLink® compatible vehicle such as a Chevrolet Traverse, Silverado, or Malibu can take advantage of the following features offered by the system: 

• No Battery Required: Since HomeLink® is powered by the electrical system in your Chevy you’ll never have to worry about changing batteries.
• Security & Safety: With the most compatible garage door openers, the system will be able to let you know if your garage door has been left open or closed. HomeLink® apps also allow you to have remote control over other in-home devices, such as the lights and security system, providing you with an extra level of peace of mind when you’re on the road.
• Control 3 Devices: Tastefully integrated into your vehicle’s interior, the HomeLink® system allows you to control up to three devices.
• Compatibility: HomeLink® is compatible with just about all garage door openers and gate systems, as well as a wide range of other radio-frequency (RF) controlled devices.
• Easy to Use: Connecting your vehicle to your home is simply a matter of pressing a few buttons.

Programming HomeLink®

Programming HomeLink® on your Chevy vehicle is a simple and quick process. Just follow our step-by-step instructions to successfully connect your garage door opener to your car:

1. Initiate the Master Reset: The HomeLink® unit features 3 buttons and is most commonly located on the ceiling of the car above the center console. Press and hold down the first and third buttons until the interior lights of your car begin to flash. This usually takes about 20 seconds. Note that pressing the first and third buttons is the master reset, you do not need to do this when subsequently adding other devices.
2. Simultaneously Press Garage Door Opener and Program Button: Once the ceiling lights begin to flash, press and hold the button you wish to program while simultaneously holding the open/close button on your garage door opener. The lights should go from a slow to rapid flash, indicating that the programming is complete.
3. Press “Learn”: Go into your garage and press the “learn” button on your garage door opener.
4. Sync HomeLink® with Garage Door: Return to your vehicle and press the programmed button on your car for a minimum of two seconds. You may see the lights on your garage door opener flash, indicating that it is connecting.
