Hello and welcome to CL

Try resetting everything. Press and hold the 1st and 3rd Homelink buttons for 30sec or until the red light rapidly flashes. Here are some instructions I made for our Lexus guests

How to set up HOMELINK

Non Rolling Code Garage Doors:
1. Park the car in the driveway.
2. Hold your garage door remote 4 inches from the HOMELINK button you want to program.
3. Press and hold both the garage door remote and the HOMELINK button until the red light rapidly flashes then release both buttons.
4. Test your newly programed HOMELINK button to ensure it opens the garage door. If door opens congrats! If not proceed to step 5.
5. Wipe out your HOMELINK system to start clean slate. Hold the first and third HOMELINK buttons until the red light rapidly flashes.
6. Hold your garage door remote 4 inches from the HOMELINK button and press and hold. While holding the HOMELINK button, press and release the garage door remote in full one second intervals until the garage door opens or closes depending on whether the garage door were already opened or closed.

Rolling Code Garage Doors:
1. Park the car in the driveway
2.Hold your garage door remote 4 inches from the HOMELINK button you want to program.
3. Press and hold both the garage door remote and the HOMELINK button until the red light rapidly flashes then release both buttons.
4. Grab a step stool or ladder and locate the trainer/testing/learn button on the garage door motor (the unit on the ceiling). Press this button once. You have 30 seconds to get back to the car
5. On the HOMELINK button you programmed earlier, press and release, press and release and press and hold on the third time. (For each press and release, do so for full one second intervals).
6. The light on the garage door motor should go off/on and then immediately open or close the garage door depending on whether the garage door were already opened or closed.
7. Congrats, you HOMELINK should now be set. If the HOMELINK button does not open/close the garage. Press the tester/training button once more on the garage door motor and “Press and Release” the HOMELINK button until the garage door opens or closes.

Works great since I figured out the "Press and Repeat" Method. Also if you have issues still pairing the garage door, I've found a $30 Homelink Repeater is needed and will solve pairing problems too

my 14 IS had an issue with the rear view mirror where the buttons wouldnt respond to being pressed sometimes. I was able to program it but occasionally the buttons dont work. I got it replaced under warranty showing my service advisor a video of it working and then not working. Replacement rear view mirror works great with no issues
