Lear Car2U Transmitter
The Lear Universal Garage Door Opener (LEAR Car2U ™) is a universal transmitter and can
replace up to three different remote control transmitter units used to operate the following types
of devices:
xGarage Door Opener
xSecurity Devices
xHome Lighting Systems
Additional Lear Car2U ™ information can be found on the internet at www.learcar2U.com or by
calling 1-866-57Car2U.
Types of Garage Door Openers (Fixed Code and Rolling Code)
LEAR Car2U ™ has the capability of programming rolling code and fixed code garage door
openers:
xRolling code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote
control garage door opener is used.
xFixed code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed
code uses the same coded signal every time, which is manually programmed by setting
DIP switches for a unique personal code.
If you do not know if your garage door opener is a rolling code or fixed code device, open your
garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. If a panel of DIP switches is present as
shown in the typical remote device shown below, your garage door opener is a fixed code device.
If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device.

Programming the LEAR Car2U ™ Transmitter
Depending on your garage door opener manufacturer, LEAR Car2U ™ provides two easy ways
to program your garage door opener.
1. Rolling Code Garage Door Openers: If your garage door opener is a rolling code device
and do not have a row of dip switches use the “Programming Rolling Code Garage Door
Opener” procedure on page 4.
2. Fixed Code Garage Door Opener: If your garage door opener is a fixed code device and
has a row of dip switches use the “Programming Fixed Code Garage Door Opener”
procedure on page 6.
CAUTION
xDo not use the LEAR Car2U ™ Transmitter 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.
xRead the instructions completely before attempting to program the LEAR Car2U ™
transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person
assist you in programming the transmitter.
xBe sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as
for future LEAR Car2U ™ 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 ™ buttons should be erased for security reasons.
Refer to “Erasing LEAR Car2U ™ Buttons” or for assistance, contact LEAR Car2U ™
at 1-866-57Car2U.
xMake 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.
PROGRAMING CONSIDERATIONS:
Read the instructions completely before attempting to program Car2U.
The following items may assist you in programming the system:

It may be helpful but is not required to have an additional person available when
programming Car2U.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming
procedures (i.e. new Car2U-equipped vehicle purchase).
Upon the sale of the vehicle, it is recommended that the programmed Car2U buttons

4. To program another rolling code device such as an additional garage door opener, a
security device, or home lighting, repeat steps 1 – 3 substituting a different function
button in Step 3 than what you used for the garage door opener. For example, you could
assign the left-most button to the garage door, the center button to a security device, and
the right-most button to another garage door opener.
To program another button with a fixed code, perform steps 1 – 5 of “Programming Fixed
Code Garage Door Opener or Device” on page 6 substituting a different function button
in Step 5 than what you used for the garage door opener.

transmitter and a paper and pen or pencil. Between 8 and 12 coding switches are revealed
under the battery cover of the hand-held transmitter. Do not change the switch positions.
2. Write down the switch settings from left to right. When a switch is in the Up position,
write “on”, and when a switch is in the Down position write “off”. If a switch is set to a
third position between the Up and Down, write “middle”. An example is shown here.
