Read all the posts, read all the manuals, went to all the websites, tried everything multiple times...nothing worked. Until I reset the Homelink device in my mirror. For my NX it required holding down the first and third Homelink buttons on the mirror simultaneously for about 20 seconds. This erased all the codes in my device and apparently reset it. Then followed the programming steps and it worked! Hallelujah!!!!

im having the same problems as many of you.
Its so weird that the older lexus i have (2002 SC430, 2010 ES350, 2008 RX400h) all can be programmed within a few seconds but this new RX is giving me problems.
Tried clearing all the codes by holding the two outside buttons and still no luck.
Did they change something on this newer homelink? is it not compatible with older garage door openers? I dont have a rolling code so im not sure whats the problem here.

My process for a rolling code opener based on recollection:
1. Press the button I want to use on the mirror and hold it, while holding the garage door mfgr's remote within three inches right in front of the mirror and simultaneously pressing the open/close button on the remote, until it flashes a different color (orange I believe). You want to keep holding both buttons until you get the flashing orange.
2. Get out of car and press the "learn" button on my opener motor, and then get in the car and press the same button as step one for about three seconds. As per instructions, press repeatedly for a few seconds. Door started to operate on third three second press.

i got a 2017 RX350 and the garage door opener is at least 30-40 years old. The garage door opener has pins inside that you pull out and push in to program so I don't think its a rolling code device. I also don't see a button on the actual lift motor.
I tried all 3 methods below and nothing works.
Method 1:
press and hold 1 and 3 to clear the codes. Wait till it flashes red.
press button 2 (middle button) once, the homelink button is now flashing red. I hold down the garage door opener fob for 30+ seconds, still flashing red. ( think its suppose to turn green if it learned the code)
Method 2:
press and hold 1 and 3 to clear the codes. Wait till it flashes red.
press and hold button 2 (middle button) while hold down the garage door opener fob for 30+ seconds, still flashing red. ( think its suppose to turn green if it learned the code)
Method 3:
press and hold 1 and 3 to clear the codes. Wait till it flashes red.
press and hold button 2 (middle button) while repeatedly pressing the garage door opener fob for 30+ seconds, still flashing red. ( think its suppose to turn green if it learned the code)
Stumped.... all the other lexus's works fine.
It might be a problem with my homelink, but ill have to go find somebody to try it on.
