HomeLink Universal Transceiver
If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, you can operate up to three Radio
Frequency (RF) devices, including garage doors, gates, lights, and security systems.

NOTE: Depending on date of manufacture, market region, and options selected at time of purchase, some vehicles are not
equipped with a HomeLink Universal Transceiver.
WARNING: Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with a device that does not have safety stop and reverse
features. Using a device without these safety features increases the risk of injury or death.

Supported Modes
HomeLink supports three different transmit modes, which is how your vehicle and the RF device communicate. Selecting a
transmit mode is determined by your RF device's compatibility:
• Standard Mode: Use Standard Mode if your RF device is equipped with a remote control that must be used to operate the
device (for example, a remote-controlled garage door). This mode is the most commonly used transmit mode for HomeLink
devices.

Connectivity
• D-Mode or UR-Mode: Use D-Mode or UR-Mode if the RF device does not have a remote control, and the receiver has a
"Learn" button (may also be called "Program" or "Smart"). D-Mode and UR-Mode function similarly in that
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y communicates directly with the device's receiver as opposed to the remote
control.
NOTE: D-Mode is used primarily in North America whereas UR-Mode is popular in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. To
determine the mode your device is compatible with, contact HomeLink by going to www.homelink.com or calling
1-800-355-3515.
Each of your devices can be set to a different mode. For example, your garage door can be set to Standard Mode, your front
gate can be set to D-Mode, etc. To change a transmit mode, touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the touchscreenControls
screen and select the device you want to change. Then, select Program and choose the desired mode for your device. Confirm
by touching Set Mode and follow the onscreen instructions.
For older vehicles, changing the mode for one device changes the mode for all devices, so be careful when changing transmit
modes. Devices not compatible with your selected mode may not work. Touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the
touchscreen, then touch Change Transmit Mode.
NOTE: Check the product information for your HomeLink device to determine which mode is compatible with your device.

Programming HomeLink
To program HomeLink®:

1. Park CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y so that the front bumper is in front of the device you want to program.
CAUTION: Your device might open or close during programming. Therefore, before programming, make sure that the

9. Ensure HomeLink works as expected. In some cases, you may need to repeat the programming process multiple times
before succeeding.
Once programmed, you can operate the device by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon on the touchscreen. HomeLink
remembers the location of your programmed devices. When you approach a known location, the HomeLink control on the
touchscreen automatically appears. When you drive away, it disappears.
NOTE: The HomeLink icon displays at the top of the touchscreen when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y detects a
programmed HomeLink device within range, and the touchscreen is not already displaying the HomeLink screen or popup,
NOTE: For additional assistance or compatibility questions, contact HomeLink (www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515).

Auto Opening and Closing
To operate a HomeLink device without using the touchscreen, you can automate the device to open as you approach, and
close as you drive away:
1. Touch the HomeLink icon at the top of the touchscreenControls screen, touch HomeLink Settings, then choose the device
you want to automate.
2. Adjust the device's HomeLink settings as needed:
◦ Select the Auto-open when arriving checkbox if you want the device to open as you approach.
◦ Touch the arrows to specify the distance you want CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to be from the device
before it opens.
◦ Select the Auto-close when leaving checkbox if you want the device to close as you drive away.
◦ Select the Auto-fold mirrors checkbox if you want mirrors to fold when you arrive at the HomeLink location. This is
useful for narrow garages.
◦ Select the Chime for Auto-open and Auto-close checkbox if you want CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to
sound a chime when a signal has been sent to open or close the device.
HomeLink remembers the vehicle’s GPS location at the time of pairing and uses this to determine the vehicle’s whereabouts in
relation to the HomeLink device. HomeLink does not detect and differentiate between opening and closing (ex: if Auto-open is
triggered and the door is already open, the door will close) but typically determines whether to auto-open or -close based on
the following:
Auto-Open: Detects when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y approaches the garage door (or other HomeLink
device) within a specified distance. Auto-open initiates so long as the approaching vehicle is in Drive and HomeLink is
enabled. HomeLink does not trigger when the vehicle is already in the area.
Auto-Close: HomeLink triggers when the CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y shifts from Park into Reverse, and
moves at least 23 feet (seven meters) in Reverse.
NOTE: Changing gears multiple times while in the specified distance may interfere with Auto-close.
In situations where you don't want the device to automatically open or close, touch Skip Auto-Open or Skip Auto-Close at any
time during the count-down message.
NOTE: Do not rely on HomeLink to ensure the device fully closes.

Resetting the Location of the HomeLink Device
If you experience situations in which you sometimes drive up to your HomeLink device and it doesn't open, or the touchscreen
does not display a notification as you approach a programmed device, you may need to reset the device's location. To do so,
park as close as possible to the HomeLink device (garage door, gate, etc.) and display the HomeLink settings page by touching
the HomeLink icon at the top of the touchscreenControls screen. Touch the name of the device you want to reset, then touch
Reset Location.
