How do you program the garage door opener button in a 2007 VW passat?

Answer 1

First, if your car is used you may want to clear out the old codes. Insert the key in the ignition and turn the car on but don't start it. Simply hold down the outside (buttons 1 and 3) for twenty seconds. Once the light start flashing let go and the codes are then cleared. Next press and hold the button you want to program. After about twenty seconds the light will start blinking slowly. Without letting off the button hold the remote you want programmed about three or four inches from the transmitter and while pushing the button. When the light starts blinking faster it's programmed. If you have an a garage opener that uses code scrambling, you will need to program it as well.

Answer 2

It is the opener that usually needs programming. Download the operating manual for your garage door opener. There is probably a learn switch on the opener.
