Effortlessly accessing your garage is a daily convenience you shouldn’t overlook. Programming your car to your Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener ensures quick and easy entry every time you arrive home. This straightforward guide will walk you through the steps to seamlessly integrate your car’s built-in system with your garage door.
Step 1: Clear Existing In-Car Programming
Begin by clearing any pre-programmed settings from your car’s factory system. Simultaneously press and hold the two outer buttons on your car’s built-in transmitter until the indicator light starts flashing rapidly. This process might take up to a minute. Ensure your car key is in the auxiliary position or the car door is closed for this step to work effectively.
Step 2: Designate and Program Your In-Car Button
Choose which button in your car you want to use for your garage door. Position your garage door opener remote transmitter close to this selected button. Press and hold both the button on your garage door remote and the chosen in-car transmitter button at the same time. Continue holding them down until the in-car LED light flashes rapidly. This action essentially teaches your car’s transmitter to mimic your garage door opener’s main transmitter.
Step 3: Pair with the Garage Door Opener’s Learn Button
Locate the ‘Learn’ button on your Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener unit. This button is typically found near the antenna connection on the motor head. For Chamberlain or LiftMaster models, it’s usually a red, green, or purple square button situated near the terminal screw board, often accompanied by an indicator light that is green, amber, or purple. Press this ‘Learn’ button briefly. The indicator light will illuminate and blink if it’s a Genie system or remain lit for other brands.
For Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Sears, or Linear Megacode systems: Immediately press and hold the programmed in-car button until the garage opener light flashes. This indicates successful pairing.
Congratulations! Your car is now programmed to your Chamberlain MyQ garage door opener and ready to use. You can now enjoy the convenience of opening your garage door directly from your car.
