2023 Volvo V60 HomeLink
HomeLink®
It can control up to three different devices remotely, e.g. a garage door opener or alarm system, and hence replace the remote controls for these.
The figure is schematic – the version may vary.
- Programmable buttons
- Indicator lamp
HomeLink® is built into the interior rearview mirror and consists of three programmable buttons and one indicator lamp in the mirror glass.
Note
- Save the original remote controls for future reprogramming (e.g. when changing to another car or for use in another vehicle).
- It is also recommended that the programming for the buttons should be deleted when the car is sold.

Using HomeLink®
Depress the programmed button. The garage door, gate, alarm system or similar is activated (may take a few seconds). If the button is depressed for more than 20 seconds then the reprogramming is started. The indicator lamp illuminates or flashes when the button has been depressed. Naturally the original remote controls can still be used in parallel with HomeLink® if required.
Note
- When the ignition has been switched off, HomeLink® works for at least 7 minutes.
- HomeLink® cannot be used if the car is locked and the alarm is armed from the outside.
Warning
- If HomeLink® is used to control a garage door or gate, ensure that nobody is near the door or gate while it is in motion.
- Do not use HomeLink® for any garage door that does not have safety stop and safety reverse.
Programming HomeLink®
Programming
- Aim the remote control towards the HomeLink® button to be programmed and hold it approx. 2-8 cm (approx. 1-3 inches) from the button. Do not obstruct the indicator lamp on HomeLink®.
- Press and hold depressed both the button on the remote control and the button to be reprogrammed on HomeLink®.
- Do not release the buttons until the indicator lamp has switched from flashing slowly (approx. once per second) to either flashing quickly (approx. 10 times per second) or illuminating with a constant glow.
>If the indicator lamp illuminates with a constant glow: Indication that the programming has finished.
>Press the programmed button twice to activate.
>If the indicator lamp flashes quickly: The device to be programmed to HomeLink® may have a security function that requires extra steps.
>Test by pressing the programmed button twice to see whether the programming is working. Otherwise, continue with the following steps. 
Locate programming button on the receiver for the garage door or similar. It is normally located close to the antenna’s bracket on the receiver.- Depress and release the receiver’s programming button once.
The programming must be completed within 30 seconds of the button being depressed. - Press and release the button on HomeLink® that you want to program. Repeat the sequence of pressing/holding/releasing a second time and, depending on the receiver model, even a third time.
>Programming is finished.
The ability of some remote controls to program HomeLink® is improved at a distance of approx. 15–20 cm (approx. 6–12 inches).
Reprogramming individual buttons
- Press the desired button and hold it depressed for approx. 20 seconds.
- Once the indicator lamp on HomeLink® starts to flash slowly, programming can continue as normal.
If the button to be reprogrammed is not programmed with a new unit, it will resume the previously saved programming.
It is only possible to reset all HomeLink® buttons at the same time. Individual buttons can only be reprogrammed.
Press and hold depressed the outer buttons on HomeLink® for approx. 10 seconds.
When the indicator lamp changes over from a constant glow to starting to flash, the buttons are reset and ready to be reprogrammed.
