    Do you see any information on the overhead console, a Homelink sticker or part number that suggests what version of Homelink it uses? If the transmitter on the console has "HL3" on it anywhere, it's 100% not compatible with your opener. But you may be able to retrofit a newer HL4/HL5 opener into it, or swap the transmitter board from another system or mirror. I've seen people do that with older BMWs.

    It's Homelink v.3 per the FCC ID. Note the "HL3" below.

    It means that opener is not compatible with your garage door unless you guy this adaptation bridge, which I found extremely aggravating, to the point I gave away mine for free here on the forum. But you can make it work. Just gonna cost you extra $$$.

    Thanks again, I had read about that bridge some people needed, hoping it wasn't me. Sounds like a pain.

    It just doesn't make logical sense how you use it, and where you position it in the garage is critical to distance and functionality. If I mounted on a wall outlet near the ground, I could only open the door from 10ft away and it sometimes took me holding the opener button for 10 seconds to finally catch. When I moved to the ceiling 5ft from the opener, it would open from 30-50ft away, but still took a solid 3-4 seconds to open.

    Like, I remember the setup being convoluted too. They send you a receiver and a remote. You would think the remote/opener they send would be what opens the door, but instead, you use their opener in the kit to program either your car opener, or to link the bridge to your motor, and then use your car's opener to the bridge. The 1st unit I bought was defective. I don't remember. Here are the instructions though.

    If you choose to try the HomeLink Compatibility Bridge, there's a few things you'll need to know unless already aware.

    1) As @shifty` so rightly mentioned, the Sequoia overhead has incompatibility issues when it comes to temp display compared to Tundra overhead. The Sequoia sends temp sensor info to the AC Integration Control Panel and then to the overhead. Whereas the Tundra sends temp sensor info straight to overhead.
    2) If you find an appropriate Tundra Overhead, you'll still need to properly run 4 conductors to have total function of the Tundra overhead module......2 for temp sensor(pins 4&5) and 2 for Illumination of the five buttons(E/M, 3 Homelink, Mode) pins 7&8.

    As of now you have, the best I can tell on your Tundra connector, pins 1, 3(Personal Lights) and 9-12(Moon Roof) with their respective functions as seen below. Also the below pic shows the comparison of Sequoia vs Tundra pinouts.
