l bought a 2006 Baja.l love it, great car.The owner is manual does not explain the purpose of the three buttons on the rearview mirror.
Each button has the same symbol of what looks like a house with an arrow pointing upward in each one.Below the arrow is one, two and three lines.To the left of these three buttons is a button with a power on symbol and the next one over is the compass button.
The owner is manual talks about these two buttons in reference to the automatic rearview dimmer for night driving.It says nothing about the three to the left that look like houses.
A friend said that these were garage door openers, but l do not understand why there'd be three, nor do l know how I'd program them to work on my garage door.

Any clues?

This is a homelink system. The house is for the garage door opener. The reason that there are three, is that there could be a possibility of three garage doors. Ask your dealer for the supplement for the owner is manual to program the homelink for your garage door.

These r Homelink buttons intended to replace ur standard wireless transmitter for operating ur garage door. There r 3 in case u live in an opulent house with 3 garage doors! :)

The programming instructions shown below came from the Homelink site at:

HTH & good luck!!

NOTE: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be turned on or to the second (or “accessory” or ACC) position for training and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand held transmitter of the device being trained to HomeLink for quicker training & accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

First time programming


1. For first time training, press & hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink surface (located on ur mirror), keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously press & hold both the desired HomeLink button & hand held transmitter button. DO NOT release until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly & then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing indicates successful training.)

Note: Some garage door openers may require u to replace step 3 with the “cycling” procedure noted in the “View Canadian Instructions” section.

4. Press & hold the trained HomeLink button & observe the indicator light.

If the indicator light is solid/continuous, training is complete & ur device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed & released.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds & then turns a solid/continuous light, proceed with the following training instructions for a rolling code device. A second person may make the following steps quicker & easier. Please use a ladder or other device. Do not stand on ur vehicle to perform the next steps.

5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). If there is difficulty locating the training button, reference the garage door opener’s manual or contact us.

6. Press & release the “learn” or “smart” button (the name & color of the button may vary by manufacturer). NOTE: Once the button is pressed, there r 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step.

7. Return to the vehicle & firmly press & hold the trained HomeLink button for two seconds & release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.
