Ram 1500 HomeLink garage door opener programming, 2011–2026
HomeLink lists the Ram 1500 for model years 2011–2026. Ram's 2026 Quick Start Guide: hold the garage remote 1–3 inches from the HomeLink button; rolling-code openers then need the opener's Learn, Program, Smart or Train button.
Years HomeLink covers
HomeLink's Ram page lists "1500 (2011 - 2026)" and "2500/3500 (2011 - 2026)", with videos for Chamberlain, LiftMaster and Craftsman; Genie and Overhead Door; and Sommer and Direct Drive (310MHz) openers. Trucks with "an older generation of HomeLink (in model years 2008 and earlier)" have separate videos (HomeLink Ram page). HomeLink's Ram page names no model years 2009–2010 (UNKNOWN).
Rolling-code check
The guide: "Check your garage door opener motor in your garage for a "Learn", "Program", "Smart", or "Train" button by the hanging antenna. If you have one of these, you have a Rolling Code garage door opener." (2026 Quick Start Guide).
Steps in the 2026 guide
All openers start with the remote held 1–3 inches from the HomeLink button. Rolling-code openers then need the opener's Learn, Program, Smart or Train button pressed, then the HomeLink button "up to three times (holding for two seconds each time)". Full steps: Quick Start Guide.
A white learn button (Security+ 3.0) is programmed from the original handheld remote (HomeLink FAQ).
