Anybody Else Can't Get Their Homelink To Link??

Just bought a new 2017 Tundra SR5 DC 5.7 TRD and I can't get the homelink to hook up with my Chamberlain garage door opener. Followed all the instructions (press the learn button, then the homelink button for two seconds, three times in a row) and nothing happens. This thing is beginning to tick me off. I also tried resetting the homelink function on the truck first, and ran into the same issue. Anybody have any words of wisdom?

 

I have theee garage doors and I could only get my middle garage door to sink with my middle home link button. I did have to reset the home link a few times to get it to sink. Are you making sure to push the button on the garage door so it can sink with your truck?

 

I live in a gated community and it works on the gate and my garage. My truck is 10 years older then yours tho OP.

 

How can you get your truck to connect to your gate without hitting a learn button on the gate opener? Can you get your home link programmed with just the remote opener?

 

HEADS UP- I fought this crap for 2 weeks with my 17 Tundra, and FINALLLLLY figured it out. For me, my garage door can only hold a maximum of 6 remotes. Guess what - my Tundra was #7.
Search for "Clear Memory for garage door opener" for your brand opener. For my Genie it was holding the learn button for 7 seconds.
Once cleared, you have to add ALL your devices back in, but it only takes a couple of seconds for each device.
I had 6 in my Opener's memory b/c I had sold a couple of cars and replaced a couple of remotes.

Good luck, and have a beer for me if it works for you.

Yes, you can as long as the Gate Open doesn't use 'random' codes. There are instructions in your manual on how to tell if the opener uses random codes (the Homelink lights blink a different pattern).
PM me if you have questions.

I'll try and give this a go either today or tomorrow then. Good info to know!

 

Haven't been able to get mine to sync. Quick question though, does your homelink button work with the key out of ignition? I take my garage door opener in house every night in case someone breaks into truck they can't open my garage...

 

I did use the gate opener once to let it learn the gate and garage door.

 

I have used my opener with the truck off yes. Im sure you could install a hidden switch to shut it off if you knew which wires they are.

 

Have you watched this?

I hate the fact that the homelink with the truck off. If the truck is parked outside someone can break in and open the garage door.

 

I wonder if you could cut the power wire in the mirror harness and tap it on to the ignition wire???

I had difficulty programming the homelink in my '08 to my Chamberlain opener - here's what finally worked - a combination of programming procedures given in the manual. I cleared all the memory before programming.

First, I held one of my door remotes up to the mirror, and cycled the button once per second while holding the homelink button I wished to program. I did this until the homelink light flashed, as per the instructions, about 20 - 25 seconds.

Secondly, I pushed the learn button on my door opener, and pressed the same homelink button, I can't recall if it was once or twice, but then the door opener lights flashed, and it's good to go.

According to Chamberlain's homelink info on their website, my model should need a "bridge" to make it work, but in reality it works fine.

 

Figured it out -- had to clear the Homelink system a couple of times to get it to go. Thanks for all the feedback, hope it helps somebody!

 

All I did on mine was press and hold the button on the garage door clicker about 2" from the home link button, and press and hold the home link button in the truck until it flashed rapidly. No learn button are anything else. This is straight out of the owner's manual

 

Sure can. Very easy fix. Subaru does it this way but as far as I know they are the only ones. Most people wan the garage door opener to work without having to power up the car.

 

I had to program my remotes to each homelink button then hit the learn button off the opener, then coordinating homelink button. An extra step for older model garage doors but it worked for me.
