Show How do I get the remote control built into my car to work with my Genie garage door opener? HomeLink and Car2U are both in-car technologies that allow you to open your garage door from your car. Usually, these 3 buttons are located on your visor or on the ceiling of your car above your center console. The benefit of being able to open your garage door from your car is that you do not need a garage door opener remote. The HomeLink and Car2U systems are powered by your car’s electrical system so they do not need batteries, unlike a hand-held garage door opener remote. Genie garage door openers are compatible with both HomeLink and Car2U technologies. Cars equipped with HomeLink have a single LED and usually feature an image of a house at the top middle button. Cars featuring Car2U have 3 LED lights above each of the three buttons. HomeLink Buttons Car2U Buttons Programming HomeLink® SystemDetailed PDF Instructions. Video found here.
