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.

 

Only if you wanted a hole in your roof.

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.

 

homelink but cant get it to work on one gate.. it works on my door and on a diffrent gate...
so i keep one on my visor.. and i hate it cause i have a homelink ...

 

custom mounted the damn thing onto the visor... custom meaning I bent the clip with some pliers til it would clip on & not rattle.

 

same here but used my hands..

 

I pulled the ashtray insert out and mine fits nicely in the remaining larger recess...

... wish I had homelink! - didn't have a garage when I bought the car.

 

OMG you did not have a garage when you got your 8 ,, THis man should be flogged with Spark plug wires


Good idea . ill try that with my remote.. in my car with homelink :P

 

Yep - but I have one now and making up for lost time, I've already got the red car back on the road. Enough room for all the rotary rockets, well - almost all of them.

Actually I sold the FC a month or two ago

 

i like that one

 

homelink

 

homelink doesn't work with my garage door opener, sucks...

 

I can't get my homelink to work either but I put my opener in the ashtray under the radio. I tried everything about ten times and nothing happened

 

Homelink works with most garage door openers including the ones with roaming codes... You have to read the instructions carefully and you can get it to work in 99% of cases...

 

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.

 

It gave me similar problems. I was able to program it from inside the garage. I parked my car inside and hit the learn button on the G.D.O. After several tries it worked.

 

I might try it again tonight from inside the garage. I would like for homelink to work.

 

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

 

try up your ***!

 

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!).

 

Actually.. Its more than that.. Cause the morons made the mounts on the glass different.. So buying the mirror isnt enough..
