Just got a new garage door opener and would like to know how to use the remote control opener in my 2012 RAV4 EV. Anybody?

The instructions in the manual didn't work for me either. I think mine has a rolling code so I was supposed to press and hold the button for 3 seconds. Nothing. Worked on this for about 10 minutes and then gave up. The car was/is charging so some of my troubleshooting was thinking that the charging had something to do with it so I unplugged, but that didn't change the situation. Also tried it with the car fully turned on.
Please let me know what your extra step was that resolved this. My garage door opener is a standard Genie that has worked with all my other cars with the Homelink system.

Mine worked fine (rolling code system). Here is a shortened version of what I did, following the instructions in the RAV4 manual:
1. hold the garage door opener near the mirror, press the desired homelink and garage opener buttons for a few sec.
2. Open the garage door (with the opener, car won't work yet).
3. Go to the opener assembly (Genie) and press its training button.
4. Run back to car, press and hold the selected homelink button for a few sec. You have 30 sec after pressing the button on the Genie. Release. Press again.
Door worked then.
madcow said:Ok, just for clarity. You took another external (portable) garage door opener and held it near the mirror of the car with the integrated homelink garage door opener? I only have one that is external to the car and it's missing a battery so I'll need to go out and get one in order to use this process.
madcow said:I don't really get it. I've programmed 2 other cars with integrated homelink garage door openers and they were both very easy. The instructions for the Toyota version are similar, but it doesn't work at all. The rolling code instructions say to hold down the button on the mirror for 3 seconds. I did this MANY times and the red light on the garage door opener never stayed red (indicating that it received the signal).
