Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation




Universal Transmitter

The universal transmitter 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.

For vehicles with roof opening panel and auxiliary A/C (early build), the universal transmitter can be identified by the Homelink(R) symbol and one red indicator light. For late build vehicles, the universal transmitter uses the Lear Car2U(R) System. It is identified by the lack of a symbol, but with 3 red indicator lights located behind the 3 buttons. The universal transmitter is an integral part of the LH sun visor.

For vehicles without roof opening panel and auxiliary A/C, the universal transmitter is an integral part of the overhead console.
