Lear Car2U™ Home Automation System

The Lear Car2U™ System

The Lear Car2U™ System is a universal transmitter that includes two primary
features – a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices
within the home. The Car2U System’s garage door opener function replaces the
common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for garage
doors, the Car2U System transmitter can be programmed to operate security
devices and home lighting systems.

Types of Garage Door Openers (Rolling Code and Fixed Code)

The Lear Car2U System may be programmed to operate rolling code and fixed code
garage door openers.

• Rolling code
protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your
remote control garage door opener is used.

• Fixed code
uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually programmed by
setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.

To see if your hand-held transmitter is rolling or fixed code, open the battery cover.
If your garage door transmitter does not have switches (shown below) following the

rolling code instructions.

garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are code

garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed code

If there is a panel of (coded) DIP switches (shown below) follow the fixed code
instructions.

Programming the Lear Car2U™ System

If your garage door opener uses a rolling code transmitter, follow the rolling code
instructions for programming starting on page 4.

If your garage door opener uses a fixed code transmitter, follow the fixed code
instructions for programming starting on page 7.

CAUTION

• Do not use the Lear Car2U System with any garage door opener that

does not have a “stop and reverse” feature. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

• Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the

Lear Car2U System. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful
to have another person assist you in programming the transmitter.

• Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in

other vehicles as well as for future Lear Car2U System programming.
You only need it for fixed code device programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
the programmed Lear Car2U System buttons should be erased for
security reasons. Refer to “Erasing Lear Car2U System buttons” or for
assistance, contact the toll-free Car2U System help line at 866-572-

2728.

• Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door opener

or security device you are programming. When programming a
garage door, it is advised to park outside the garage.

! The following items may assist you in programming the system

o Ladder
o Screwdriver
o Writing pad and a pencil or pen

! Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future

programming procedures (i.e. new Car2U System-equipped vehicle
purchase)

! Upon the sale of the vehicle, it is recommended that the programmed Car2U

System buttons should be erased for security reasons (refer to “Erasing the
Lear Car2U System buttons”)

! Repeat the programming steps for each garage door opener you wish to

program up to a maximum of three

CAUTION

Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitiv e
actions. Read the ENTIRE procedure prior to beginning so you will know which
actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the time-sensitive actions, the
device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure.

Make sure that your key is ON and engine is OFF while programming the
transmitter. Use the following steps to program up to three different devices.
