The HomeLink Wireless Control System is a radio frequency (RF) transmitter integrated into some automobiles that can be programmed to activate devices such as garage door openers, RF-controlled lighting, gates and locks, including those with rolling codes.

The system features several buttons, most often found on the driver-side visor or on the automobile console, which can be programmed via a training sequence to replace existing remote controls. It is compatible with most RF-controlled garage door openers as well as home automation systems such as those based on the X10 protocol.

The system is made by Johnson Controls and has been installed on over 20,000,000 automobiles as of 2003.[1] It won the PACE Award in 1997.[2]
