Now if you are still here, I have a questions and I dont want to go overboard like those guys on the detailing section of CL, they are pro's. I simply want to take my truck and get is washed and dried.
Come home and apply Polymer coating or a sealant. I want to be done with it fast, any quick tips, on a product?
Here is what I am thinking.
1. Get is washed
2. Use Polymer Sealant: such as Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax
3. Synthetic XPress Spray Wax
4.Meguiar's plastx for lights
Be done with it in an hour.

You are correct about xpress, read it after your comment, heading to Walmart to buy the stuff.
Thanks again for your input.

Working for a 2012 IS350C
I think my initial problem was not continuously holding the opener transmitter button down while programming the homelink button but here is my process that finally worked:
1) Reset the buttons by holding the outside buttons down until the light stops flashing.
2) Hold the button you want to program down. It will be solid and after a while it will start flashing slowly. Hold the Opener transmitter 1-3 inches away from the button to be programmed and Press and hold it's button until the homelink light starts flashing quickly. The let go of both buttons.
Now when you press the homelink button the light should flash quickly. If not repeat steaps 1 and 2 until it does.
3) Move your car in front of your garage door and where you can see the opener. Locate and press the learning switch for your garage opener. quickly go back to your car and press and hold the programmed homelink button until the learning light flashes once. Re-Press and hold the programmed homelink button until the learning light goes off.
Now if you press the homelink button the garage door should open and close.
FYI if your garage door stops working after several cycles it has probably overheated and you will need to wait until it cools down to continue. Removing the cover help this process.

I have the type of garage door opener that you push the program button and a red light flashes. I have read some threads and the manual on how to program and its not working. I have reset the codes and tried to program it and its not working. The lights on the HomeLInk in the car are working so I am guessing its working but it wont program to the garage door. I read to set the program light then push the HomeLink three times and it will program. Mine is not doing it. I have tried it withe the car running, or the key to on and without the key in and nothing is working. Any advice would be appreciated. Its getting frustrating as to of why this is not working. My truck programmed just fine so I know it can be done. The Lexus is just not working with me. Thanks

Mark this up to corporate BS. I just replaced my garage door motherboard & neither of my cars HL would program. The installer informed me NONE of the newer GDO work with the HomeLink anymore. He mailer me a free extra opener.

To bring up an old thread...
Has anyone had problems with the Homelink not clearing codes? On mine, the red light flashes quickly once, and that's it. I held 1 and 3 for nearly two minutes and got nothing. Any advice without having to take it to the dealership is greatly appreciated.

only the middle button
I finally got my homelink paired with my opener however only to the middle button. I tired to pair with button 1 but it wouldn't take. It took the first time on button 2.

Finally got this working for me (dredging up an old thread).
The steps I followed (with changes from the owner's manual in bold) were:

The steps I followed (with changes from the owner's manual in bold) were:
- Turn your key to the "run" position so the Homelink module gets power
- Press and hold buttons 1 & 3 to clear any existing codes. It can take 30+ seconds until you see the rapid blink on the Homelink LED.
- Hold your opener next to the dome light and press your desired Homelink button and the opener button simultaneously. Hold them until you see the rapid blink.
- Push your programmed button for about 2 seconds. If the door opens, you're done.
- Otherwise, you have a rolling code.
- Push the "Learn" button on the back of your opener mechanism (in the garage). Having a ladder and a helper can be useful.
- You now have 30 seconds to return to your vehicle and do the next steps:
- Push your programmed button for about 3 seconds. If the door opens, you're done. (you may see the garage light blink)
- Push your programmed button for about 3 seconds. If the door opens, you're done.
- Push your programmed button for about 3 seconds. If the door opens, you're done.
- Still no luck? Try the steps again. But you may have a newer garage opener where they changed the frequencies and you're out of luck.

Are you sure homelink aquired and learned the key fob singal(cinfirmed by fast blinking light on the homelink)? Then once you push the program
button on the GDO, within 20 secs. you start pushing homelink button until door starts moving. Little pause between puushing. (this of for rolling code GDO)
Some times there is compability issue if they are old. In that cse you need a bridge box to use them. What is the GDO brand? We have Liftmaster MyQ GDO,
Our vehicles, MB, Audi, BMW homelink all works well. I can even open and close far away from iPhone thru Internet. I can see if the door is open or close and
close it or open anywhere using the app.

I hate to drag up an old thread, but I just got a 2010 GX460. I can't get the garage door to program with the vehicle. The opener was manufactured in June of '97, I didn't have any problems when i bought new remotes for my other vehicles. They were bought in the last 3 years.
I've tried all the suggestions in this thread, nothing works.
Any help would be appreciated,
