Thx for looking.

I have a '96 i30, tan interior. It has the "HomeLink" thingie in the
driver's sunvisor, but it's the older HomeLink that does not work with
the newer Genie "rolling code" receiver. According to the HomeLink
website, I will have to have one from a 97 or newer car.

Thanks,

Keith

You may want to investigate that further. I have a 97, and following the
instructions to code my rolling code opener has not been successful.
Consider a newer one.

Do the 5th gens have an interchangeable visor?

I never could get my 95 to work with anything. My 97 and 01 have worked
perfectly with a liftmaster and a wayne dalton system. Also works great with
the controlled access gate at the condos where I live.

Its true. The '96 homelink won't work on the rolling code doors. I believe
the visors are interchangeable with newer ones from '97 - '99 models.
Don't know if the 2000 and newer visor is still the same shape. I have both
a '96 and a '97. The '97 will open the rolling code door on my daughter's
garage and the '96 will not. The programming cards that came with the two
cars are different.

We had no problem coding the '97 to work with the door (actually two
different doors on different houses), though usage of the button you push on
the garage unit is a little non-obvious - we actually erased the codes that
were set up in the garage opener itself several times before we got it
right.

I've tried a few times using the directions in the manual. Did you find
that the procedure was correct in the end?

The procedures for programming the car worked correctly. The confusion was
in how to make the garage accept the new transmitter without erasing all the
other ones it already knew. It was a question of exactly when to push the
button on the opener and how long it should be held in.

You momentarily push the button on the garage door unit & then push
the transmitter button while the LED is still lit (30 sec),(many
directions do not explain it this way). If you hold the button on the
unit until the LED beside it goes out (about 6 sec) all the memory is
erased.

Here are a couple more tips. If you are doing 2 doors side by side and want
to program a different button for each door. Do the first door then unplug
the motor from the ceiling socket and program the second door on another
button. After the second one is done plug the motor unit back in for the
first door.

Make sure you start with a factory remote that came with your door
motor.Homelink doesn't respond to cheapie universal replacement remotes.

Make sure the car is pulled in the garage and parked under the motor unit
when you do the programming. A moonroof car is plus here because you can
just stand up through the sunroof and push the learn button then lower
yourself back down and push the button on the visor button.
