How to Program a Passat Wagon Garage Door

by Jeffrey Caldwell

Programing a Passat Wagon garage door opener in the driver-side sun visor is a task that can be performed by you. All it requires is the transmitter that came with your electric garage door opener. If your Volkswagen Passat was previously owned or it has been previously programed to open a different door, you need to clear the old codes from the transmitter.
