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.

POST 1Original post

2007 CS and am convinced the homelink transmitter is not working. Can’t get the lights to flash and have tried everything. Want to replace module but don’t know where it is located. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

POST 2Original post

Here's a clip from the Owners Manual for my 2010 BS -- should be similar to yours. Good luck. Joe Henley

POST 3Original post

I just happen to be adding the third radiator to my 2008 Cayman S . So, I have the front bumper cover off.

POST 4Original post

As a point of information, I was just recently educated regarding my 2008 Cayman and the latest garage door opener technology. Apparently somewhere around 2011 or so door opener manufacturers changed some security technology and my car at least, is no longer comparable. Never had a problem until last week when I had to have a new garage door opener installed and couldn't get my 2008 to recognize it. After lots of research I found the reason, and that was that older cars are no longer compatible. There is a solution to buy an additional conversion unit for another $30 or so but I decided to just carry the hand remote in the car instead. Bottom line is if your opener is new and car is old the likelihood of it working together is zilch without the additional unit. Lift Master opener sight has info.

POST 5Original post

I discovered the same thing after a new door opener with my '08 and now just carry the hand remote in my Cayman like you. It was so frustrating trying to program and I tried everything over and over using the manual and Homelink instructions. Nothing worked. The result of all of that was having to reprogram my other two cars which were newer and fortunately they did work with the homelink system.

POST 6Original post

It's a 2 step process. You have to get the car to learn the remote, and then the opener to learn the car. Going from memory - car has to be on or running, clear the car by pressing the 2 outside buttons. Put it in learn mode by pressing and holding the homelink button until the lights flash at the right rate. Go in front of the car and press the remote button until the parking lights flash. Go in the garage and put your garage door opener in learn mode. If you're alone - run like hell to get back to the car and press the homelink button. Or - yell at your idiot friend to put his phone down and press the damn button!

POST 7Original post

Still won't work. I can assure you that was already done many, many times. There is a compatibility issue with the newer openers and older cars. It's a fact. Feel free to look it up.

POST 8Original post

Same here. Doesn't work. All this process did was cause me to have to reprogram my other two cars which were newer. A 2011 and a 2015.

POST 9Original post

For the older model year vehicles, search for " Homelink Repeater Kit" or " Homelink Compatibility Bridge".

POST 10Original post

now I know why my 2007CS Homelink is no go. Thanks!

POST 11Original post

I just built a new house and have had no success in getting the Homelink in my '06 Boxster to work with the new garage door openers as well so I think Budman is correct.

POST 12Original post

More support for my decision last weekend to rebuild my 20 year old garage door opener with the $12 gear kit over replacing it!

POST 13Original post

Thanks to everyone who responded. Now I am thinking my opener is too new and I need the repeater. Ordered on Amazon , will report back with my findings. Can always return it... Pretty sure it's going to work.

POST 14Original post

Received the homelink bridge. Took all of 60 seconds to program the remote to car, then car to opener. Can't believe I spent hours trying to make this thing work! Should have asked here first... Thanks all!

POST 15Original post

Can you provide a link to what you ordered? If not real expensive I may go with it. It could help me to get rid of all the extra weight of the hand held remote I now have in the car ;-)

POST 16Original post

The Homelink Bridge works pretty well, but it is not as good as updating the Homelink module behind the front bumper to the newer part number. I have tried both options. The newer part number is 8K0907410C. It is a VW Audi Porsche part and there are many on ebay. Mine came out of a wrecked 2015 Panamera and works great in my 06 Cayman . It is a plug and play swap, but you have to take the front bumper off which isn’t that difficult if you enjoy wrenching. I found that the newer module provides a significantly improved range and is much more reliable compared to the old module and Homelink Bridge.

POST 17Original post

If it's a fairly new door, you need the HomeLink Repeater to make it work.

POST 18Original post

Just want to add for those who have installed Joe’s after market LED Spars which replaced the fog lights, during the sync process the LED Spars will NOT flash but if you follow the procedure it will work!

POST 19Original post

Yup,same with me and my 06CS! I just velcroed a Transmitter under the Parking Brake handle. Out of the way and easy to access when needed. Job done!

POST 20Original post

To you guys who have the repeater working... I'm at my wits' end trying to program this thing. I've followed the manual and Youtube videos to no avail. I actually have two brand new repeaters because I thought the first was faulty. Over the course of trying to figure the thing out, I think I somehow programmed both 855LM's (bridge remote) to my garage opener. Is that even possible?! If I press the remotes within ~2' of the opener antenna, I can open and close the garage door without the repeaters even plugged in! Can one of you see if your 855LM can do the same? As far as progress, I've gotten the car to accept the remote code. I have the LED spars, so I can't see the fog light confirmation, but my Homelink buttons flash as if the code has taken. After that, I plug in the Repeater right next to the opener, press the Learn button, and run for the HomeLink button. But it never works. I programmed all 3 buttons just to be sure. Note: I did contact Liftmaster/Chamberlain support but they gave me the old buy-from-us-because-we-can't-trust-other-sellers'-items.
