Nissan FRONTIER 2023 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver 

A very advanced transceiver installed in the 2023 Nissan Frontier is essential to the vehicle’s control and communication systems. By pressing a button on the key fob, customers can lock and unlock their vehicle using keyless entry, which is made possible by this crucial component. It also integrates with the immobilizer system to improve car security measures and enable remote start functionality. The Frontier driving experience is made more convenient and safe by the transceiver, which guarantees a smooth and secure connection between the driver and the car.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

  • Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks, and security systems.
  • Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all programming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes.

WARNING

  • Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A garage door opener that cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
  • During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will open and close (if the transmitter is within range). Make sure that people or objects are clear of the garage door, gate, etc., that you are programming.
  • Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe exhaust gases; they contain colorless and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause unconsciousness or death.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
The following steps show generic instructions on how to program a Homelink® but-ton. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® website at: www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.

NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to Homelink® for quicker programming and accurate transmission of the radio frequency.HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

  1. Press and release the HomeLink® button that you would like to program. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash in orange slowly (if not, see “Clearing the programmed information” 
  2. Position the hand-held transmitter (garage door opener remote) 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink® but-ton that you would like to program.
    NOTE:
    Some hand-held transmitters (garage door opener remote) may actually train better at a distance of 15–20 cm (6–12 inches). Keep this in mind if you have difficulty with the programming process.
  3. While the HomeLink® indicator light is flashing in orange, press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. Continue pressing the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLink® indicator light changes from orange to green. You may now release the hand-held transmitter button.
    NOTE:
    Some devices to be programmed may require you to replace step 3 with the cycling procedure noted in “Programming HomeLink® for Canadian customers and gate openers” 
  4. Wait until your garage door has stopped moving before completing the next steps.
  5. Press the HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
    • If the indicator light remains constant green, your device should operate when the HomeLink® button is pressed. At this point, if your device operates, programming is complete.
    • If the indicator light rapidly flashes in green, firmly press, hold for two seconds, and release the HomeLink® but-ton up to three times to complete the programming process. Do not press the HomeLink® button rapidly. At this point, if your device operates, programming is complete. If the device does not operate, continue with the next step of the programming instructions.
  6. At the garage door opener motor (security gate motor, etc.), locate the “Learn” or “Set” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit (see the device’s manual to identify this button.). The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
    NOTE:
    A ladder and/or second person may simplify the following steps. Do not stand in your vehicle to perform the next steps.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission –which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during training. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties training a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming HomeLink®” procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink®” step 3 with the following:

NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener, etc., unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the device components.

Step 3: While the HomeLink® indicator light is flashing in orange, press and release (“cycling”) the hand-held transmitter button every 2 seconds. Continue to press and release the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLink® indicator light changes from orange to green. When the indicator light illuminates in green, the hand-held transmitter button may be released. Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®” step 4 to complete. Remember to plug the device back in when programming is completed.

OPERATING THE HOMELINK UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after it is programmed, can be used to activate the programmed device. To operate, firmly press the appropriate programmed HomeLink® button. The indicator light will illuminate in green with three parentheses on the mirror while the signal is being transmitted.

PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the hand-held transmitter information:

  • Replace the hand-held transmitter batteries with new batteries.
    Position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the HomeLink® button.
  • Press and hold both the HomeLink® but-ton and hand-held transmitter buttons in each step without interruption.
  • Position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the HomeLink® button. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink® is not programmed within that time, try holding the transmitter in another position – for example, 15 to 20 cm (6 to 12 in) away, keeping the HomeLink® button in view at all times.

If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to the HomeLink® website at: www.homelink.com/nissan or call 1- 800-355-3515.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFORMATION
The following procedure clears the programmed information from three buttons. Individual buttons cannot be cleared. However, individual buttons can be reprogrammed. 

  1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink® buttons until the indicator light begins to flash green, in approximately 10 seconds. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
  2. Release both buttons.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE HOMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink® button, complete the following: To clear all programming

  1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. DO NOT release the button.
  2. The indicator light will illuminate in green, and after 20 seconds it will begin to flash in orange.
  3. Release the HomeLink® button and proceed with “ Programming HomeLink®” —Step 3.

For questions or comments, contact HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com/nissan or The HomeLink® button has now been re-programmed.
