Another satisfied Homelink user.
For the uninitiated: Homelink provides 3 programmable buttons at the bottom of your rearview mirror that you can program to operate your garage door opener, electronic gate to your property, etc...It is very nice not to have to try and attach your openers to your visor.

I hate this BS package thing. Why should I have to spend roughly 2k on a $150 mirror?

My god, homelink's the best thing since sliced bread!
That's the FIRST thing I setup when I got my car home!
It'd only be better if it was made of chocolate... hmmm homelink.

After re-reading this thread I tried again to get my homelink to work with my garage door opener. I have read that owners manual backward and foward and still no position results. Things got so bad that I erased the codes for my currently working remotes and when i tried to reprogram them, one now opens the neighbors garage door. Talk about embarrassing. Haven't figured out what my next move will be.

Yeah the homlink was hard to program but after like 4 tries it started working. If your remote is too big. Contact the manufacture of your garage door opener. They might have a Key Chain remote. I have one just in case, and it's in my ash tray.

I parked directly under the opener and tried both sets of directions until I finally gave up. I'll probably try again but I'm still mad about the pain in the butt this has been.

Well like I said. I tried at least 5 times the first I got the car then on the seconf day i tried again and it worked. What I did was park in the garage left the key in the ON position. Pushed the learn key on the G.D.Opener. Then as fast as I could got in my car and held the Homlink button for like 30seconds. If you see your GDO light blink on and off your good to go. light did'nt do $hit. It just starting working. Hope this helps

Mine just fits in the rear half of the console. Thinking about replacing it with a keychain remote or maybe wiring it to a spare switch so it's concealed. "Hats off" (literally) to those who can fit in the GT, and thus have homelink
Not too big of an issue for me. Hell, I'm still feeling spoiled by not having to get out of the damn car :D

Um... My old garage door opener wouldn't work no matter what I tried. Then I realized that I didn't have the reset button on the garage door opener itself (at the motor). Guess what? The old opener wasn't Homelink capable. Bought a new opener from Sears and it worked without a problem the first time.

OK. I wish I had homelink, but I don't. (I also only paid $25k for a Sport version that has all the performance of the GTs selling for over $32k). 
SO, I keep enough napkins (and ok, trash... I'll be honest) in the driver's door pocket to wedge my door opener in there in such a way that the button shows up in the side hole opening. Very convenient. (Although I still wish I had Homelink - just too cheap to pay $200+ for it!).
