HOMELINK® TRANSMITTER
The Land Rover HomeLink® Universal
Transmitter is built into the underside of the
rear view mirror and provides a convenient way
to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This innovative
feature will learn the radio frequency codes of
most current transmitters to operate garage
doors and gates. With the available accessory
package, the HomeLink® Transmitter can also
control home or office lighting and security
systems. For reliability, the HomeLink®
Transmitter is powered by your vehicle’s
