Home Link: Does yours work?

[Stockton]

Does your Home Link on your garage door opener?

I just moved and I programmed mine, it took fine but when I got home it didn't work on the garage door.

Anyone have problems or solutions with theirs?

[CO AVANT]

Can't get mine to code on my craftsman garage door but can on my liftmaster. Was programming fine on my old house with the craftsman but won't on my new house with the same procedure. That learn button on the garage motor isn't learning with the car's homelink. Pain in the ass.

[fumihiko]

i have mine set up for the gate at my work and have yet to have any issues with it other than i have to be way close and hold it down for a bit

[Stockton]

This is pissing me off I don't feel like buying another garage door opener when my car has it built in.

[scorneil]

works fine for me

[AudiA4Turbo22]

it works great here 2! just make sure u [rogram it with the remote first then the garage door learn button! the only thing that sucks is its range, u have to be like 10 ft from the door! in the benz i can open the door from a 100ft away!

[michgo]

Mine works flawlessly too

[mnkyA4]

Mine works great as well. Wish the range was better though.

that's prolly what I was doing wrong. Was hitting the learn button first then programmed...

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^haha the manual says: hold remote control 10-12 inches from passenger side front bumper and have someone push the button inside the car down till the light starts flashing quickly then u have 5 min to push the learn button and then push the button in the car until the garage door light turns off and on!

If your door has a "rolling" (secure) frequency, the Homelink won't work. Secure openers change the frequency every time you open the door, so the car can't learn it.

For everything else, the Homelink in my car works perfect.

funny you bring this up...i tried to get mine working yesterday. So first:

press and hold 1 of the buttons down until it SLOWLY fashes...well, that doesnt work. As soon as i press button I (one) it flashes super fast and stops after about 5-10 seconds and then just stays permanently on until i release it. I tried it anyway and continued with programming the transmitter in the bumper but nothing happened. I have NO CLUE wtf is wrong...can anyone help us garage-less souls?

My garage opener is a rolling code one and i was able to program it no problem.

You have to go trough the normal programing procedure with your current remote, and then there is another step that involved the learn button on the garage opener motor.
Took me a couple tries to get it programmed, but now works like a charm.

Not true. You have to follow the instructions from the opener mfgr. to program the rolling code to your Homelink. I have my A4 and Trailblazer both setup for the rolling code openers.

Takes an extra step or two.

[scorneil]

mine works fine with rolling codes

[Stockton]

Ok I got mine to work.

It was the garage door opener. I was falling the car's manual to program for rolling code.

Luckily the opener had instructions right on it how to program it and it was slightly different but all is well now.

Thanks.

I originally had the same problem then I read on in the manual.

When it's flashing fast it means that channel is already programmed.

To clear all channels you have to hold down the I & III together for about 20 seconds.

Look in the manual a few chapters after how to program, it tells you how to delete clear the channels.

Mine was just hold I & III for 20 seconds, I forget what the light does to indicate it's clear.

Once you clear it though, just start from the beginning.

+1

I figured since the transmitter was up in the front bumper I'd get better range, but to no avail...

Keep holding the button down, might take 30-40 sec, then it should blink slowly. Got my other garage door to work today. Had to hold down and get the homelink button slowly blinking, then went in front of the passenger side of the bumper and held down the opener and let the car lights blink 3 times. Then went over and pressed the garage door learn button, then went back to the car and pressed on the same homelink button for ~30 sec again. Light on the garage flashed and it was set. What brand of garage door opener do you have?

[skeeball]

What kind of range do you guys get? Mine isn't too bad, I can hit far enough down the street that by the time I get to the garage the door is all the way open and I can pull in.

I've programmed mine with rolling code openers twice. I think you have repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times. I vaguely remember using the instructions on homelink.com instead of the manual. It's been a couple years though.

[CO AVANT]

I can get ~120ft max on mine

[skeeball]

Hmm... Make sure the antenna on the opener is coiled up. I guess it could depend on how the garage is constructed also. I definitely get less range on my 1920's concrete block garage than I used on my 1990's cheaply constructed townhouse.

Mine works

Mine's rolling and works fine. I had it replaced when I bought the car new and it didn't work (on another house), but has since worked fine there and at my new house as well.

[sloweryucf]

I wish I had a garage.

[sadpandas]

yeah, mine works i had to hold the 'learn' button on the opener as well. I almost ate it coming off the ladder. Our garage is super tall so the opener is waaaaay up there.
