I recently bought a garage door opener for my Honda, but I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to get it connected—how do I program my Honda garage door opener?

The steps to program a Honda garage door opener depends on whether you have a rolling or fixed code garage door. We’ll walk you through how to figure out which you have in a little while.
Regardless of whether you have a rolling or fixed code door, the first few steps are the same:
Hold your garage door remote within 6-inches of your Honda’s HomeLink buttons
Press and hold both the HomeLink button you want to program and the “open” button on your garage door remote
Continue holding both buttons until the HomeLink button flashes
At this point, your HomeLink button will either turn solid or start flashing rapidly—this will determine whether you have a rolling code or fixed code garage door.
If your HomeLink light stays solid, it means you have a fixed code garage door, in which case you’ll need to:
Press the HomeLink button you are attempting to program twice
If the garage door opens or closes at this point, you have successfully programmed your Honda garage door opener
If your HomeLink light starts flashing rapidly, it means you have a rolling code garage door, in which case you’ll need to:
Press the HomeLink button you art attempting to program twice
Exit your vehicle and press your garage door motor’s “Learn/Smart” button once
Return to your vehicle within 30 seconds and press down on the HomeLink button you are attempting to program three times
If at this point the garage door opens or closes, you have successfully programmed your Honda garage door opener
