Universal Transmitter
The universal transmitter, located in the overhead console, provides a convenient way to substitute up to 3 hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. The universal transmitter can learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters.
The universal transmitter
- operates garage doors, gates and home/office lighting and security systems.
- learns and transmits the radio frequency of up to 3 hand-held transmitters from any of the systems mentioned above.
- is powered by the vehicle battery and charging system.

Universal Transmitter Programming
| WARNING | A garage door opening system that cannot stop or reverse itself after detecting an object in its path does not meet current federal safety standards. To decrease the risk of serious injury or death, do not use this universal transmitter with a door opening system that lacks stop and reverse features as required by federal standards. This includes any garage door opening system manufactured before April 1, 1982. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury. |
- Verify the hand-held transmitter is operative.
- Prepare for programming the universal transmitter by erasing all 3 channels by holding down the 2 outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
- Select 1 of the 3 universal transmitter channels to be programmed by pressing the desired button.
- Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter 25-51 mm (1-2 in) from the front surface of the universal transmitter so that the red light can still be seen.
- Use both hands to press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal transmitter. Do not release either button.
- Hold down both buttons until the red light on the universal transmitter flashes, first slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the rapid flashing begins. The universal transmitter has successfully learned the new frequency signal and can be used in place of the hand-held transmitter(s).
- To operate, press the appropriate button on the universal transmitter. The red light is on while the signal is being transmitted.
- To program additional hand-held transmitters repeat Steps 3-6.
Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped With "Rolling Codes"
- Program the hand-held transmitter to the universal transmitter.
- Train the garage door opener receiver to recognize the universal transmitter. Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener receiver. Locate the training button on the garage door opener receiver. Location and color of the button may vary by garage door opener manufacturer. Refer to the garage door opener instruction manual. Press the training button on the garage door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds. Press the programmed universal transmitter button for as long as the universal transmitter red light flashes (1-2 seconds). Release the button and press the button to confirm the universal transmitter is trained to the receiver. The garage door opener should recognize the universal transmitter.
Erasing Channels
- To erase all 3 programmed channels, hold down the 2 outside buttons until the red light begins to flash (20-30 seconds). Release both buttons.
