Homelink is opening my neighbor's garage

[juliea]

Looking for advice - homelink is opening my neighbor's garage. She recently purchased a new car and now my homelink is opening her garage door when there was no issue before.

Since she just got a new car and it likely has garage door buttons as well... perhaps she put her garage door opener into "learn" mode and forgot to turn learn mode back off? My garage door opener has a pushbutton so it'll go into learn mode for about a minute and then self-reset but some models have a slide/toggle switch that the owner must manually reset to get out of learn mode. If this is the case... anybody can drive up and open her garage!

Most openers have a "forget all learned remotes" method; try that and then re-sync her car.

If you have spare buttons on your car, you could sync one of those to your garage and stop using the original button.

One or both of you should re-setup your homelink connection. They should not be the same code.
Alternative: Just start parking in her garage.

I just talked to the company that installed our opener last spring. I was told that the opener that is having the problem (hers) needs the memory reset. They kindly offered to walk her through it. Hopefully she figures it out.

It’s simple enough to change yours. Why depend on her? AND, why are you blaming her???? There is no such thing as first come, first served, when programming garage door openers.

This is sort of funny. You come home after work and both garage doors go up at once. As stated your neighbor should just do a erase all for her opener and re-learn her car and separate remotes so she is back independent. If she is cute offer to go help her out. Now if she re-programs hers and your door goes up, that would be some spooky stuff.
