OH MY GOODNESS! I have been trying for SO MANY YEARS to get HomeLink from 3 of my different cars to work with my garage door opener and NOTHING. Last week my wife complained again, so I thought; What the heck... Let's go back to KZfaq and try again. Today my order arrived, I tested the piece you recommended and VOILA! Just in time for Father's Day. So I will be in the good books this weekend! Thank you @EricTheCarGuy

He finally talked to the company that installed the new opener and they said exactly what you said in the video. I will be ordering this gadget in an attempt to get it working.

I ordered this exact HomeLink Repeater from Amazon ($43 - LiftMaster 855lm Homelink Repeater Kit), and it worked perfect for our 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe and our 2009 Nissan Murano! It took less than 5 minutes to program each vehicle. I don't have a LiftMaster garage door opener. However, it worked just the same for our new Craftsman (MyQ) garage door open that we had installed back in 2020. We have not been able to use the HomeLink system that was built into the older cars until now. I even drove each car down the block about 150 feet (a house and a half away) to see how far the repeater signal would work. The garage door opened from that distance!! Thank you for keeping this video simple and straight forward!

Thanks for this tip! I was getting so frustrated with my homelink not pairing. Turns out this solution works the other way around too (older homelink + newer garage opener). In my case I retrofitted a Gentex homelink rearview mirror pulled from an older 2012 vehicle to my car, and my Liftmaster MyQ garage door was newly installed in 2020. Picked up one of these repeaters and now the homelink on mirror is able to pair

Thank you for this video. ALL the other videos say, "this is so easy...watch this." and boom it works. What a bunch of phonies. I called Homelink, they said to get a new garage door opener. I watched this video and afterward, I got it to work without buying anything. I guess what I was getting wrong was that I had to do exactly what you ended up doing in the video. Pair remote to Homelink. Then pair Homelink to LiftMaster in the ceiling. Based on all of the instructions and videos I had access to, I thought it was one OR the other. I had to do BOTH. Thanks again.

Hey jusy wanted to say thanks. Was having almost the same issue. My homelike was accepting the code of the remote but still wouldn't open the garage door. I used the step you used with pressing the learn button on the opener itself then coming back to the car and held the button already learned to the remote. And the garage door opened. Works great now! That extra step did the trick thanks.

Thank you for this video! I was going insane trying to figure out why my HomeLink on my '06 Accord Coupe would not connect to my garage door opener. I spent a couple hours and several times going through every step my owner's manual said to get it to link-no luck. Then I googled the issue and found this video. Of course, Eric The Car Guy had an answer. The other issue I ran into that others may as well is the HomeLink Compatibility Bridge cannot be close to any LED bulbs or it will cause interference with the radio frequencies. I have large LED lights on my garage door ceiling and when I connected the Bridge on the ceiling (close to the garage door opener) it would work randomly/intermittently. After a 45 minute Liftmaster support call they finally told me LED lights can cause interference. I put the Bridge in another outlet far from the ceiling and it worked just fine. That caution should be in their support materials.

Hi Eric as a matter of interest we had some problems with garage openers in the 80’s when CB radio was popular , you would get up in the morning to find your garage door open if a CB was on the same frequency it would activate your sensor but it was easy to change the code .

So I tried a sunvisor remote that also came with the opener. Worked the first time! Changing remotes did the job. I have no clue why. I love homelink and was one reason I bought that level of CX5 because it had homelink. Can control the opener and the secondary lights in my garage.

@@joshuapinter No, the Homelink didn't work and here's why...after many hours of research and head scratching I finally solved the mystery. My 2013 Silverado is equipped with Car2You not a Homelink and the two program very differently. The way to tell them apart is the Car2You has an LED above every button, the Homelink has only one LED. The three buttons on the Car2You are designated to specific brands of openers. The button on the left is for Chamberlain, the middle button is for Liftmaster and the third I don't remember. I had to get a Car2You repeater to be able to program my Silverado. I was also able to program the house garage door (Genie). I'll try to find the link for the instructions.

I had a similar vehicle / opener combination but was able to get it to work using the learn button on the opener itself, just ran into limitations as to how many remotes/Homelink vehicles it would store. I think it maxed out at 4 remotes/Homelink vehicles that it would store before it started dropping them. ie. if you tried to learn remote #5 it would drop remote #1.

Hey just another idea. Same opener, same system, same problem… but came to another solution that worked. This took some trial and error, but worth a shot. 1. Be far away from the garage door with the opener. Far enough that the programmed remote wouldn’t open the door. 2. Program your homelink mirror using the normal process. 3. Code accepted, return home and follow steps inside the garage to “learn” the new code (yellow button). 4. Press the homelink button in the vehicle to complete. Not sure how or why this works, but it did for me.

I had the same issue with the same solution when we replaced our old Sears opener with a brand new Chamberlain, the issue was the HomeLink in our cars was too old to support the newest rolling code technology (thus we needed that repeater). It isn't that great, as others mentioned the range is severely reduced and most of the time you have to hold the Homelink button down for like 5-10 seconds before it even responds. We'd have been better off buying a couple new remotes, even though it would have cost a little more.

I had the same issue a few years ago and bought the same adapter. The signal was somewhat weak but it worked. I moved and left the adapter with the house. 2 years later I bought a house with a lift master that had the same issue, I decided the weak signal wasn’t worth the $35 and I just keep the opener in the ashtray and I get to open the door further away and waste my $35 on all the other things. Sad that liftmaster hasn’t resolved this issue.

@@sandiegoboy216 To be clear, rather than use the $43 bridge to make the Homelink in the 2004 Avalanche work, I put a new $8 Liftmaster clone FOB into the truck and skipped the built in Homelink there. Our newer vehicles had Homelinks that worked directly, so only the one vehicle was affected. Homelink is only frustrating when it doesn't work, when it works it is easy and quick.
