DIfficulty setting up Homelink garage door opener

[vabrave]

Has anyone else had trouble getting the homelink to work with your garage door opener? I just got my 2012 Equus and cannot set the homelink button up with my garage door opener after following the manual instructions methodically several times. I even called the service line and was told "sounds like you are doing everything correctly"

Is your garage door opener a rolling code opener or is there a set number of dip switches that you use to control which remote opens it?

If the opener is a rolling code opener, it wont work since the car cannot roll the code over.

There is an option to set with a rolling code. Mine is and it does now work. The instructions were correct. Liftmaster has a programming button up on their unit near your garage door ceiling. I remembered that I did not climb up there to use it the time it worked before. By doing the steps to the wall control unit as I mentioned this morning on the forum, it worked. Has nothing to do with rolling code or not working with a rolling code.

Vabrave, what is the brand of your garage door? If it is Liftmaster and you have a wall control pad with a "PROG" button the side, read my directions from this morning. The only reason my Genesis stopped working with it was the computer board on the opener had to be replaced and everything reprogrammed. My problem ended up not being with Hyundai and Homelink's directions, it was the Liftmaster wall unit. I was missing an important step on getting it to program with it again. Now works great again!

Thanks for the info - mine is a Chamberlain with rolling code, it has a learn button on the unit which I used per instructions but still no luck. I had no issues setting the homelink up on my Avalon or Suburban. This is the first car that has given me trouble.

I had difficulties with both my Sonata and my Genesis until I moved the car from the driveway into the garage. It seems the close proximity solved my problem.

I had the same issue with my 2012 on a Genie. Funny that a friend of mine had the same issue on a 2012 Toyota Tundra.

My opinion is that the homelink instructions were written poorly. No other issues with any of my other cars prior to the Equus.

I tried two things to get it to work:

Try letting the Equus homelink unit "learn" your existing hand-held transmitter codes. The procedure is in the manual.

Take an existing hand-held transmitter and follow the instructions so the car can learn the hand-held's codes. Then, go to the garage door receiver, push in the learn button, follow the procedure and see the Equus' will work.

Another thing to consider is that the garage door receiver is limited in the number of transmitters it will accept.

Example: Your unit will handle 5 transmitters. If you are at that limit due to past transmitters in other cars plus the hand-held, #6 won't work.

Solved by erasing all codes in the door opener receiver and then reprogramming all current ones.

Chances are the Equus unit is OK

Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck!

TE - Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize there was a limit to the number of devices that could operate the opener. Perhaps that is the case - ill erase all and start over with the current vehicles.

Thanks again,
Chris

Before you wipe them all out, "train" the Equus transmitter to your Chamberlain first and try it....if not, then erase and try again.

Good luck!

See this thread in the Genny section about homelink. All the programming steps should be the same. I also posted a link to Homelink website where you can select your car and garage door opener and it'll give you more specific instructions.

I was finally able to get Homelink working, I think the issue was related to the remote control I was using to train Homelink instead of Homelink itself. Used a different transmitter and finally success. Thanks for all the replies.

GREAT NEWS!

Personally, I think the Homelink directions are written poorly....

 

[bmbutler]

The directions are exactly right. Problems have been outside of HomeLink.

Over the years and several cars and garage door openers, I've always had best results by using a fresh battery in the transmitter before trying to program.
