I found that the instruction on from the manufacturer were the easier to follow. But was Rugbier said, it's a 2 person job if you have rolling codes on the opener. I was able to get my DII to program w/o too many issues. But after 5 years in my house, I've given up on programming the homelink in the DI.

I did mine by myself. You have 30 seconds or so to run back to the car and hit the button, so as long as you don;t park down the street, you have plenty of time.

After letting it learn the remote code, the trick I learned to making it learn the rolling codes was to hit the homelink button in the car 3-5 times at about 1-2 second intervals while the garage door opener is in 'train' mode.

Here is the straight dope on programming the Homelink:

Here is a complete homelink programming guide:

Here goes a long c/c/p

If you have any problem programming it, call LR Free Tech Support: 1-800-355-3515

If you have previously programmed your
HomeLink® Transmitter, proceed to step
2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink® Transmitter
until the amber light begins to flash.
Release both buttons.
2. Decide which one of the three channels
you want to program.
3. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter
against the HomeLink® Transmitter
(underside of the mirror) so that you can
still see the amber light (see illustration).
4. Using both hands, push the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button
on the HomeLink® Transmitter. Continue
to press both buttons through step 5.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the
amber light on the Land Rover HomeLink®
Transmitter flash, first slowly and then
rapidly. It indicates that you have
successfully programmed the HomeLink®
Transmitter to learn the new frequency
signal. Release both buttons once the
rapid flashing begins

Operating HomeLink:

Operating the Land Rover HomeLink®
Transmitter
Once it is programmed, the HomeLink®
Transmitter can be used in place of your
hand-held transmitter(s). To operate, simply
press the appropriate button on the HomeLink®
Transmitter. The amber light comes on while
the signal is being transmitted.
NOTE: If your hand-held transmitter appears to
program the HomeLink® Transmitter, but does
not open your garage door and, if your garage
door was manufactured after 1995, your garage
door opener may have a ‘code protected’ or
‘rolling code’ feature.
A ‘rolling code’ type of system will change the
‘code’ of your garage door opener every time
you open or close your garage door.
To determine if you have one of these systems,
depress the button on your HomeLink®
Transmitter that you programmed. If the amber
light on the HomeLink® Transmitter flashes
rapidly for 1-2 seconds, then turns solid, your
garage door opener has a rolling code system.

Training a garage door opener equipped with
‘rolling codes’
To train your ’rolling code’ garage door opener
to operate from your HomeLink® Transmitter,
follow these steps:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the
HomeLink® Transmitter by following the
procedures outlined in ‘Programming’,
page 97 (if you already completed this
programming, proceed to the next
instruction).
2. Train your garage door opener receiver to
recognize your HomeLink® Transmitter:
(your garage door opener receiver will
learn to recognize the HomeLink®
Transmitter by following the same
process used to train the hand-held
transmitter)
a) Remove the cover panel from your
garage door opener receiver (the receiver
should be located by the garage door
motor).
b) Locate the training button on the garage
door opener receiver. The exact location
and colour of the button may vary by
garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty locating the training button,
reference your garage door opener
manual, or call 1-800-355-35215.
c) Press the training button on the garage
door opener receiver for 1-2 seconds.
d) Return to the HomeLink® Transmitter
in the vehicle and depress the
programmed HomeLink® Transmitter
button for the duration of the rapid flash of
the HomeLink®’ amber light, (1-2
seconds). Release the button and depress
the button to confirm that the HomeLink®
Transmitter has been trained to the
receiver.

e) Your garage door opener should now
recognize your HomeLink® Transmitter.
You may use either your HomeLink®
Transmitter or your original hand-held
transmitter to open your garage door.
If after following these suggestions you still
have difficulties programming your HomeLink®
Transmitter, call toll-free for customer
assistance: 1-800-355-3515

Erasing channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold
down the two outside buttons until the amber
light begins to flash, then release both buttons.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can
be reprogrammed using the procedures for
programming the HomeLink® Transmitter
(steps 2 through 5).
NOTE: Be sure to retain your original
transmitter for future programming procedures
(i.e. new vehicle purchase).
When selling your vehicle, be sure to erase all
channels on the HomeLink® Transmitter that
you programmed.

Accessories

Accessories for your HomeLink® Transmitter
are available from the manufacturer of the
device. If you would like additional information
or would like to purchase other accessories
such as home lighting or security products that
can be operated by the HomeLink® Transmitter,
please call the toll-free: 1-800-355-3515.

Hope this helps ;-)

One other comment: check to see if it's the right frequency. My Sears door opener burned out after a lightning storm. Went got a replacement; turns out Sears sells with different frequencies. Homelink no longer worky...
