GARAGE DOOR TRANSCEIVER

The door transceiver is located in the roof 
console. It can be programmed to 
transmit the radio frequencies of up to 
three different transmitters which can be 
used to activate garage doors, entry 
gates, home lighting, security systems, or 
other radio frequency operated devices.

Although this section mainly describes 
the procedures for a garage door opener, 
it also equally applies to the previously 
mentioned applications.

In some countries this feature is also 
known as the HomeLink® Universal 
Transceiver. The transceiver radio 
frequency approval numbers for the USA, 
Canada and Mexico are shown below:

USA and Puerto Rico - FCC: K8597 
R315.

Canada - CAN: 2145 101 790A.

Mexico - 
CFT/D04/AGIT/DGIH/HOM/6068/01 and 
7335/01.

For further information, or for assistance, 
contact your Jaguar Dealer, or the 
supplier by phone or via the internet.For 
details, see Information and Assistance.

Before programming

For best results, fit a new battery to the 
hand-held transmitter of the garage door 
opener (or other device) before 
programming. If your garage door opener 
receiver (located in the garage) is 
equipped with an antenna, ensure that 
the antenna is hanging straight down.

WARNINGS

Do not use the transceiver with 
any garage door opener that lacks 
the safety stop and reverse 

feature as required by safety standards. 
Using a garage door opener without 
these features increases risk of serious 
injury or death.

When programming the 
transceiver to a garage door 
opener or entry gate, ensure the 

area is clear. This will prevent potential 
harm or damage as the gate or garage 
door will activate during the programme.

CAUTION

This device may suffer from 
interference if operated in the 
vicinity of a mobile or fixed station 

transmitter. This interference is likely to 
affect the hand-held transmitter as well 
as the in-car transceiver

CAUTION

When programming a device that 
may require you to press and 
re-press the hand-held transmitter 

(cycle), unplug the device during the 
cycling process to prevent possible 
motor failure.

To erase all programming

For first time programming, ensure that 
the engine is switched off:

1. Ensure that the ignition system is in 

convenience mode.

2. Press and hold the two outer buttons 

on the transceiver in the overhead 
console. Keep the buttons pressed, 
the indicator light, A, will illuminate. 
The indicator light is part of the 
middle button.

3. Release the buttons when the light 

begins to flash (this will take 
approximately 20 seconds).

All memories in the garage door opener 
have now been cleared.

Note: Do not perform this procedure 
when programming the additional garage 
door opener buttons.

Programming the vehicle

Ensuring that the engine is switched off:

1. Ensure that the ignition system is in 

convenience mode.

2. Hold the end of the original garage 

door opener hand-held transmitter 
approximately 50 to 150 mm (2 to 6 
inches) away from the transceiver in 
the roof console, keeping the 
indicator light, A, in view.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously 

press and hold both the desired 
garage door opener button on the 
overhead console, as shown above, 
and the hand-held transmitter 
button. Keep both buttons pressed. 
The indicator light will flash slowly at 
first and then change to a fast flash. 
When the indicator light flashes 
rapidly, release both buttons. The 
rapid flashing light indicates 
successful programming.

4. If, after 60 seconds, the indicator light 

does not flash rapidly, release both 
the transceiver and the hand-held 
transmitter buttons and repeat the 
procedure starting with Step 2. 
Position the hand-held transmitter at 
a different angle and or distance.

5. Press and hold the programmed 

overhead console garage door 
opener button and observe the 
indicator light.
• If the indicator is continuous, 

programming is complete and your 
device should activate when the 
garage door opener button is 
pressed and held for approximately 
1 to 2 seconds and then released.

• If the indicator light blinks rapidly 

for two seconds and then turns a 
continuous light, proceed with the 
following programming instructions 
for rolling code device equipment.

Note: To programme additional garage 
door opener buttons, begin at Step 2.

may vary between manufacturers.

2. Press and release the learn or smart 

button.

3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press 

and hold the programmed garage 
door opener button for two seconds 
and release.

4. Repeat the press, hold, release

The garage door opener in the overhead 
console should now activate the rolling 
code device.

Reprogramming a single garage 
door opener button

To programme a device to previously 
trained button:

1. Press and hold the desired 

pre-programmed garage door opener 
button for at least 20 seconds, but no 
longer than 30 seconds, until the 
indicator light begins to flash.

2. Without releasing the overhead 

console button, position the hand 
held transmitter approximately 50 to 
150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away from the 
transceiver in the overhead console, 
keeping the indicator light in view.

3. Carry out Step 3 of Programming the 

Vehicle.

Entry gate/Canadian programming

The technology of some entry gates 
requires you to press and re-press (cycle) 
the hand-held transmitter button every 
two seconds during programming.

Continue to press and hold the desired 
overhead console button while you cycle 
your hand-held transmitter until the 
indicator light flashes rapidly.
