I think it is step 5... But you can go direct to step 5 until you have programmed which button you want to use.
yup what he said. The manual is not very clear about this....

I followed the manual. I remembered doin it in my Dakkota, which helped me Doing one of my SAABs. I just wasn't pointing my remotes in the right area to make sure the signals were hitting the home link. I know it sounds weird because it is a radio signal, but it seemed to work. Bbut in all I followed the manual's instructions. I know I didn't help much, sorry.

Here is the problem I had. I did not follow the directions that said place the remote within 3 inches of the homelink button. I did that and it worked perfectly within seconds. I had the remote too far away.

Don't under estimate new batteries.I first tried with the old batteries, because the remote's power light would light up.Homelink wouldn't connect till I put fresh strong batteries in remote.
