HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
About HomeLink
Auto Opening and Closing
You can program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (if equipped) to operate up to three Radio Frequency (RF) devices, including garage doors, gates, lights, and security systems.
To operate a HomeLink device without touching the touchscreen, you can automate the device to open as you approach and close as you drive away:
Note: Depending on date of manufacture, options selected, and time of purchase, some Model X vehicles are not equipped with HomeLink.

Note: Make sure you haven’t reached the limit of learned remotes/vehicles. Most device receivers can learn up to five remotes/vehicles. If necessary, clear the receiver memory and restart the programming process. For information about clearing the receiver memory, refer to the owner documentation for your device. On the touchscreen, touch Controls > Settings > HomeLink. Touch Add New HomeLink, then use the onscreen keyboard to enter a name for your HomeLink device. Touch Program. Follow the onscreen instructions.
As you approach (or drive away from) a device that is set to operate automatically, the HomeLink status icon displays a count-down message to let you know when the device will automatically open. In situations where you don't want the device to automatically open or close, touch Skip Auto-Open or Skip AutoClose at any time during the count-down message.
Once programmed, you can operate the device by touching its corresponding HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status bar. HomeLink remembers the location of your programmed devices. When you approach a known location, the HomeLink control on the touchscreen automatically drops down. When you drive away, it disappears. Note: For security reasons, delete your HomeLink devices if you sell your Model X (see Deleting a Device on page 145). Warning: Your device might open or close during programming. Before programming, make sure that the device is clear of any people or objects. 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.
Using the Touchscreen
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 HomeLink icon on the touchscreen's status bar does not display the dropdown when you approach the 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 Controls > Settings > HomeLink. Touch the name of the device you want to reset, then Reset Location.
Deleting a Device To delete a HomeLink device, touch Controls > Settings > HomeLink. Touch the name of the device you want to delete, then touch Delete. Note: You can also perform a factory reset to erase your HomeLink settings, along with all other personal data (saved addresses, music favorites, imported contacts, etc.). See Erasing Personal Data on page 122.
