I have a 2006
Porsche Cayman S
and was wondering what the steps were to program my Genie (Intellicode) garage remote to my car? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
From the manual... Page 158
HomeLink
The programmable
HomeLink
replaces up to three original hand-held transmitters used to operate various devices (e.g. garage door, gate to the property, alarm system). You can program buttons 1 to 3 with a frequency of an original handheld transmitter.
Preconditions for operating and programming the
HomeLink
:
– Ignition is switched on.
– Fog lights are switched off.
To operate the respective device:
- Press the appropriate button (1, 2 or 3).
- Light-emitting diode A lights up during signal transfer.
Note on operation
- Always use the
HomeLink
opener in the direction of travel. Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled out.
- Before selling the vehicle, delete the programmed signals of the
HomeLink
.
- Please read the instructions for the original hand-held transmitter to find out whether the original transmitter is equipped with fixed or changeable code.
Allocating signals to the buttons
- Please follow the operating instructions for the original hand-held transmitter.
Prior to programming the
HomeLink
for the first time The following process deletes the standard codes
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you program further buttons.
- Keep the two outer buttons 1 and 3 depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are deleted.
HomeLink
with fixed code system
1. Press the desired button until the light-emitting diode begins to flash slowly. You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx. 0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm) in front of the marked position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original handheld transmitter until the fog lights flash three times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.
Note
Several attempts with different distances between the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter might be necessary.
The fog lights will flash once the 5 minutes have been exceeded. Programming must be repeated from the beginning in this case.
HomeLink
with changeable code system
1. Allocate the required keys as for the systems with fixed code (steps 1 to 3).
2. To synchronise the system: Press the programming button on the receiver for the garage door actuator. Afterwards, you usually have approx. 30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Press the allocated
HomeLink
button twice. (With some devices, the button to be allocated must be pressed a third time in order to complete the setting process.)
4. Repeat the programming steps to allocate other buttons.
Note
- Please consult an authorized
Porsche
dealer if you have not been able to successfully allocate signals for the garage door opener to the buttons even though you have carefully followed the instructions in this chapter and the operating instructions for the original handheld transmitter.
I'm sure there are multiple threads on this issue including some very good ones with instructions. Search is your friend.:cheers:
The only reason people have trouble with this is that the manual is deceptively written. It looks like there are two separate procedures, one for fixed-code systems and one for rolling-code systems, but in fact you need to do
both
procedures for a rolling-code system. That is, first go through the steps where you point a remote at the front bumper until the fog lights flash, then go through the normal learning process for your garage door opener. I don't know why Porsche needs this, no other car I've programmed does.
I know this is an old thread but the above answer is the one I needed to get my buttons programmed. It doesn't tell you that at all in the manual and other threads I found only referred to the manual.
If your garage door opener was sold after about 2011 and has Security+ 2.0, you will need to buy a repeater from
Homelink
to make it work. The older version of
Homelink
in gen 1 987s isn't compatible with Security+ 2.0.
Fwiw my
craftsman
opener didn't program properly when I used the instructions in the owner manual for my 2008
Cayman
. I hit the learn button on the opener inside the garage, and then went inside the car and held down the home link button in order for it to program. It did not work at all for me to hold an opener to the front bumper.
