These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

2 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

Try going to Homelink site and put in your car specifics and garage door opener brand and they should give you more specific directions. I did that for my 981 S and finally got it to work. Good Luck Homelink homelink.com

POST 4Original post

My 2010 Cayman 's homelink won't work with modern door openers. It worked fine with older (circa 2000) openers. When I replaced my old opener I had to buy a repeater which I paired with my car. It converted the signal to the newer homelink protocol and re-broadcast it. My only complaint is the range isn't as good. In my case I bought a 855LM LiftMaster HomeLink Repeater Kit (used on ebay for $25) which was compatible with my Chamberlain opener. I've read that it was possible to upgrade the car's homelink receiver/transmitter (under the bumper skin) to the newer version, but installing the repeater in the garage was much cheaper and easier.

POST 5Original post

👆 What RSchwerer said. Had the identical issue and that's the only solution.

POST 6Original post

This news makes me want to buy a motor and control board off Ebay for my Genie screw drive and stash it. Better yet locate new old stock and stash that! Or put an opener in the Porsche which for some reason I completely dislike.

POST 7Original post

I have liftmaster bridge and door sensors linked to my genie garage door openers so I can use the phone to open and close. Though the homelike in my 981 opens both doors just fine.

POST 8Original post

You can usually tell what you've got by the color on the learn button on the opener. Here's the Chamberlain/LiftMaster list. My opener is from 2012 with a purple button and works fine with the 2010 Cayman Homelink . I'm guessing the later Security+ 2.0 ones may need the repeater 1

POST 9Original post

My 2008 CS required the repeater on garage doors installed in 2014 but not on garage doors installed in 2003.
