If your vehicle is equiped with with side assist radar and you are trying you program a grade door opener that transmits at a frequency below 318mhz you must disable the side assist (remove fuse) and it will program as usual. Audi TSB 2051239/1

What Worked for Me
Hi folks,
New member here with 2018 Q7 Prestige. After trying every and all combinations of the procedures in this post I was still left with opening the ash tray every time to pull out the old school remote in order to open and close my G-door. New batteries, learn, unlearn, point at mirror, stand on one foot with aluminum foil helmet etc.
Downloaded TSB 2051239/1, pulled the fuse for lane assist, point at mirror, done in 10 seconds.
Appreciate the help!

I ended up replacing my old *** garage door opener with a new one myself and replaced all the rollers as well. Well worth the few hours it took to install everything. My garage door was obnoxiously loud and now it's super quiet. More importantly, I solved my 1st World problem of not being able to use my Audi's Homelink system. LMAO

I saw members having issues programming their home link buttons. This to me is an example of engineering to solve a non-problem. It's Audi's fault for making a simple process too complicated when it tried to incorporate a proven technology/process with its MMI interface.
To program
1. Your assigned home link button must learn the rolling code algorithm
2. Then the garage opener has to learn the home link button
I think everyone can get through step 1 pretty easily. When the home link is in learning mode, it flashes amber slowly until you press and hold your transmitter at the center rearview mirror; if it has successfully learned/synced a rolling code transmitter, it will flash green rapidly when you press it. When it learned a fixed code transmitter, it will also flash, but the green will flash much slower.
Then this is the step "call Synchronization where Audi ask you to press the button 2 times" - well that's crap. totally wrong and misleading.
Once step 1 is done. You need to go click the LEARN button on the back of the opener. Within 30 seconds, you need to press the assigned button which just learned the code from the transmitter. You would press the button and hold it just long enough until the garage opener light flash once, but it flashes very slowly. Once that happens, you're done!

1. Select the Program Garage Door Opener screen in the MMI Vehicle-Settings menu
2. Follow the instructions and press & hold the handheld transmitter near the mirror
3. When the MMI message asks if you want to Sync, DO NOT press the Audi Homelink button just yet
4. Press the Learn button on the garage door opener
5. Now press the Audi Homelink button two times
6. Done

Thank you so much!! I spent over two hours trying different procedures and even called the Homelink tech support number that was displayed on the MMI "failed to program" message. When I called support they said I should go back to Audi and tell them to "enable the 315Mhz transmitter" and that the Audi presense sensors were interfering. This information is totally wrong!! Instead follow forum member's Zoich procedure:
1. Select the Program Garage Door Opener screen in the MMI Vehicle-Settings menu
2. Follow the instructions and press & hold the handheld transmitter near the mirror
3. When the MMI message asks if you want to Sync, DO NOT press the Audi Homelink button just yet
4. Press the Learn button on the garage door opener
5. Now press the Audi Homelink button two times

OMG I think it is the led light on the garage remote!
I have a 2017 Q7 and a 2014 Q5 and recently bought a place with a Chamberlain Group KLIK3U-BK Clicker Universal 2-Button Garage Door Opener . The Q5 programmed fine after hitting the learn button but I could not get the Q7 to get past the "there has been an error programming your remote, would you like to try again" screen. I tried the side assist fuse removal, pointing the remote at the front of the car, nothing worked!!! Probably wasted an hour on it.
The solution was simple, I covered the flashing blue LED on the clicker remote with my thumb before pressing the button while programming it and it actually saved the code and allowed me to move forward! I hope this helps someone out!
