Getting used to new tech can sometimes be tricky. Luckily, you can get your
BMW
garage door opener programmed quickly by following these instructions:
  1. Move your BMW a few feet away outside of your garage.
  2. Use a ladder to climb up to the mechanism on your garage door and press the Learn button.
  3. Turn your BMW on, but do not start the engine.
  4. Press and hold the HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 until the yellow light turns green and blinks rapidly.
  5. Hold down the 1 button until the light flashes yellow.
  6. Hold your remote near the rearview mirror and push the button you’d like to program.
  7. Let go of the button when the light blinks green again. Press the button one more time.
  8. Climb up to your garage door again and press Learn.
  9. Within 30 seconds of pressing the button, get back to your BMW and press the HomeLink 1 button on your mirror.
Now that your garage door opener is properly set up, you can enjoy the convenience of opening and closing your garage remotely. If you’re looking for more car-related convenience, be sure to check out the
