The garage door opener GODS must have been listening, bacause this morning out of the blue, my home link started working with the garage door opener. I sat in my car for about 5 minutes in disbelief, but I am so happy now. I hope others that are having problems, the garage door opener GOD's shine on you, like they did on me this morning.

Question

I have a question..

The garage door opener for my apartment is operated by using a card...

I guess the card has some magnetic thing inside it that I have to take close to

the sensor on my way in...

my guess is that homelink can´t be used with this?

it may sound stupid asking a question like this.. but i really would like to make

use of the homelink...

i noticed someone saying that he uses it to open the gate at work.. instead of

punching in numbers...

My Inlaws have a similar gate with the card and since they don't have a control to program the homelink with I am always forced to use the keypad to call them.

In The Ash Tray

I have a G/T with homelink. At first I was unable to use the homelink on our gate because it was on a "rolling code" and had to use our issued opener. It fit perfectly in the ash tray and I was able to close the lid, kept everything looking clean.

I got ahold of the gate guy and he helped me program my homelink for the gates "rolling code". He had to do something with the transmitter on the gate while I held the button to program the link.

PITA at the time, but very nice now.

ADT has co-authored a procedure with Medtronics where a microchip is surgically implanted in your brain, right behind your left ear. A micro-guage wire is implanted between your scalp and skull, running from one side of your head to the other, acting as an antenna. It works on thought transmission.

Depending on the package, I can open my garage door, change channels on the TV, turn porch lights on and off, send emails, and even turn on the sprinkler system in the yard. All by simply thinking about it.

Your Homelink systems AREN'T DOO DOO (edit) NOW ARE THEY?!! neener neener :D :D

yeah programming the home link was a two man job for me, because the garage only went to 'accumulate' mode (find homelink remotes) for ten seconds at a time, and i couldnt run back to the car in time. Plus you gotta hold the button and not just tap it, at least in my case....me loves homelink

i love lamp
i love carpet

I have a Craftsman opener...the clip on the back of the remote slides out of its mount, leaving the remote as a flat rectangle. I put it in my ash tray and close the cover. Flip open the cover and press the big button with index finger...works pretty good. Some HOT days I have to actually take the remote out and press the button more firmly...problem of the remote.....

Try the little compartment on the lower left below the Illumination wheel, (the lil wheel to make the dash brighter and dimmer) should be right near your left knee.
