Programming Homelink to work with apartment entrance

Anybody have an idea how I might do this. I currently share an access card with my girlfriend to enter our underground parking. The card is maybe double or triple the thickness of a credit card and must only be waived in front of a sensor in order to open the garage door. How would i program my homelink to work with this so I don't need to use teh card?

you can't do it... the card would need to transmit a code wich it does not.. the reader just detects it and works to open the door....

is it like a scanner? how close do you have to be to it? if its like a normal garage door opener, it should work the same as a garage opener.

I don't know if there is a remote as well, all I know is I wave my card past this scanner thing and the door opens up after a light turns green on the scanner
