The HomeLink section is on page 2-51. Just so you don't have to go searching through all 360 pages to find it...:cheers:

It's definately a 2 person job. 1 needs to be on the ladder to press the button on the door opener
& someone needs to be in the truck to press the HomeLink button.

It's not very forgiving & it took me several tries to make it hook up.

Also, don't skip the initial step of trying to program it with your clicker.
I knew mine had rotating frequencies (most do unless you have a VERY old door opener) & I tried to go right to the learning step.
I simply would not 'take' until I tried the clicker, got the 'error blinks', then did the learning steps.

Have fun !!

I just used the remote opener and sat in the truck , while i held the truck button the other person held the remote and it programmed.

If your gate supports remotes, you can always add a home link system if you don't want factory nissan parts:

search google for Home Link

sounds good but is there any way that i could not spend over a hundred? haha i mean for that price i might as well do the code everytime. i know the gate supports the remotes but my car does not have that overhead din thing so i dont have the remotes.

Call me paranoid, but if you use the home link and have to park outside for whatever reason, anyone can just break your window and press the button. They need to make these Homelink's so that they turn on and off with the accessory power. I just keep my remote in the truck and take it in when I have to park outside.

+1 there... This is the ONLY reason I have never programmed mine.

I noticed on my Jeep its the same way-- power is not tied to the ignition...

My opener pad in the garage has a lock button that prevents the door from being opened from anything but the pad or the manual release inside.

yeah.... as does mine... however, you know how many times I have to remember to undo the lockout switch when I leave the house in my car!? I've been stuck outside so many times, good thing I have a key. So what's the point in having the truck programmed if its on lockout all the time?

I can't figure out how to program it. Can I just use the garage opener only? I cleared the memory then I put the opener next to the system and held the two outer buttons. I guess it was suppossed to be a constant light then blink fast then slow but it just went from constant to rapid blink to nothing.

Well, if the truck was outside all the time - you are right, it would be pointless.

If (like me) you ocassionally leave it out, then the lockout switch provides security for those times.
The way I read the post was that it was ocassional ...........

Plus, I always have a house key on my key ring so I can get in even if the power has failed !

I originally read it teh same way billaj. Then I read it again and realized it said after clearing the memory (holding two outside buttons) you the hold the garage remote close and then hit the ONE button you want to use on the homelink and hit the garage remots' button. Try that.

Read it again.

Two homelink buttons to clear all the codes - hold these until slow - could 20 seconds.

Garage remote placed within 3" of homelink, hit the homelink button you want to use, and hit the garage remote button - hold both until fast blink - could take 90 seconds.

Try that.

Looks like you can add homelink if you by the auto dimming mirror.

I will check again but I am pretty sure I used my homelink WITHOUT the key in the Titan. I will check again. I figure it is no different than leaving the garage remote in the car on the visor.

you can put the regular remote in one of the sunglass holders so that no one can see it (XE no gadgets-- can hold like 500 pairs of sunglasses on the ceiling LOL)
