Can't program BMW Homelink - here is a solution

Having problems programming BMW Homelink? This may be a solution. I coult not program my BMW Homelink and I have tried for 3 years. I finally got a new garage door opener and thought that would be the solution, but I still could not get it to work. I did a lot of research a theme seemed to be the distance between the remote control and the homelink button in the car. Here is how I finally got it to work.

I followed all the normal steps of erasing the codes. When I tried to program to match the remote I never got the rapid blink. I finally held the remote so it was touching the button I was programing and it blinked rapidly in a few seconds. When I pushed the learning button on the door opener, I pushed the car Homelink button once for 2 seconds, then again for 2 seconds and a third time for 2 seconds and it work. One interesting note, I was not in my garage when I got the remote to synch up with the Homelink button. I had to run out in the middle of trying to program my remote and while I was away, I held the remote to the button and got the rapid blink.

Hope this helps you.
