I could use some help figuring out the garage door opener in my 2021 BMW. I know it has one because the dealer said so. But I can’t figure out how to use it. How do I set it up?
The garage door opener or HomeLink system is controlled by a few buttons on your BMW’s rear view mirror. First, locate the HomeLink buttons, and then you can begin programming them.
Here’s what to do:
Get into your BMW and ensure all the doors are closed
Choose which HomeLink button you want to program, then press and release it

Hold your old garage door opener about 2 inches away from the HomeLink buttons
Simultaneously press and hold the open button on your old garage remote and the HomeLink button that you’d like to program

Press and release the HomeLink button one more time to confirm the programming
