My tips. #1 A single homelink bridge will work for multiple vehicles and 2 different doors. No need to buy more than one of these. #2 after programming my homelink in my car to the bridge transmitter code I had zero luck getting the door to learn the car's homelink signal using the learn button on my wall mounted push button. I instead had success using the yellow learn button under the lamp cover on the opener. Just a quick push and the light next to the button comes on. Then you push your assigned homelink button in vehicle within 30 seconds wait for the light to cycle fully before letting go. Then test and it should work. #3 you don't have to move the bridge from one opener to the other to get it as close as possible in order to program the second door it has plenty of range to reach door to door. I just set this up in my 2017 M240IX and was able to open my doors from a few houses down my street like a normal opener would. Good luck. Chamberlain's instruction writers should be fired and denied unemployment. LOL
For using the same bridge for a second door, is there anything you need to do so you dont make it that it opens both doors at the same time? Did you just repeat the same linking method for the second door?
Found this video after I couldn't get my repeater to work. I was skipping the step with the included remote since I had two working remotes. After including those steps I was able to get the car's HomeLink to open through the repeater. Oddly however, the remote no longer worked. But since I had two other remotes included with the new opener which did work, I am ignoring that. Just happy I can open my garage with HomeLink again. Thanks. :D
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It’s concise yet very explanatory. Great job! It helped me a lot. My car is a year 2000 Infiniti, with a 2019 Chamberlain garage opener. So the bridging device was necessary.
Thanks for showing us the process to re-connect the Home Link to my 2005 Lexus GX470. It worked like a charm the first time around. Thanks for the help.
Great video brother! I bought a 2012 SRT8 Yellow Jacket Limited Edition Challenger in 2017 and tried for months to get the HomeLink buttons on the car's overhead console to work. I had the HomeLink repeater bridge device for use in my 2011 Toyota Tundra. I gave up on finding a useful pairing video on RU-vid until I had to pair a new Jeep tonight. I stumbled upon your video and now that Challenger that has needed a visor clip external remote for the past 4 years works as designed. Thank you for an early surprise Christmas gift. Keep up the awesome content.
@Rythecarguy Yeah, agreed bro. Your video was awesome and i was in a very similar predicament to @upstatenycop. Feels like got something new without paying a dime because ive owned it for years 😄😄 Very welcome surprise, thanks again brotha
Had to do this on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline RTL about 5 years ago! Sometimes it worked flawlessly, but there were times when it would absolutely refuse to work. Hopefully they've improved on the bridge device! Love the vids as always!
Thanks man! Yea it’s been flawless so far in the GX. You do have to be a little bit closer to the garage but it’s nice to not have to carry another remote when you have one built in.
@@Rythecarguy totally agree.... I did notice I would have to be closer to the garage door in most cases.... But it has left me looking for the keys to the front door more than once no matter how close I got (bull bar actually touching the garage door lol) but I think I had a very early version when they were first coming out. For your sake I hope they worked all the bugs out!
Thank You Ry, I need this. My 2009 and 2007 Camrys don't talk to one of the garage door openers. I had to replace one of the 2 openers and can't get it to talk to the Homelink. This will work, it's a LiftMaster
Took only a few minutes to set up thanks to this video. Of course the compatability bridge did not come with any instructions on how to install but did it did come with instructions on how to return it though!
Hi Ry, I have 2 Chamberlain Liftmaster garage door openers, wouldn't need to purchase 2 repeater kits? Or will one work for both? Also have a Power Gate , will I need one for that as well? Thanks
I was also interested in this answer. I checked Amazon for the repeater product and the same question was asked there. Others said they got one repeater to work with 2 door openers.
The answer is, yes this one unit will work with multiple garage door openers. I have three garage door openers in my house, and one of these repeaters. Basically you take the learner and you program each of your home link buttons one after the other, then you plug in the transmitter and program each garage door opener to whichever home link button you want on your car. Just did this and is super easy
After countless tries an erasing and reprogramming the stock openers and the keypad, pairing the car to the repeater, etc. I called support. It took forever to reach a live person, but I was told that a blinking light on the repeater means there is interference and it won't work. I was advised to remove LED bulbs from the garage, which did not help. So back it goes. Pity.
Thank you very much. However, after clearing the codes from homelink no button accept the remote (blinks slowly while remote button is pressed and won’t blink fast) this is on my Lexus sc430…any advise will be highly appreciated
Are you using the original remote or the homelink bridge remote? My 2009 homelink will not pair with my modern 2.0 Chamberlain/Liftmaster using the originally supplied remotes - it requires the bridge remote. If not, the light will refuse to blink quickly... as the old homelink system will not "import" the new style codes from the newer remotes.
Putting this here to help others in 2023+. I have a 2010 Land Rover and a 2013 Elantra. I installed a new Chamberlain side mounted garage door opener in 2020 and had to buy the Homelink Repeater to get the vehicle’s Homelink to work with the new garage door opener. It worked great. Then we moved in 2023. I brought my Homelink Repeater with me to the new house and installed a new side mounted garage. I setup my existing Homelink Repeater and no dice. I called Homelink and they said due to a lawsuit by Genie that Chamberlain lost they had to change the algorithm they were using in their new garage door openers in 2022. Any existing Homelink Repeaters do not support this new 2022+ algorithm. Homelink released a new version of their Homelink Repeater in 2022 that supports 2022+ garage door openers from Chamberlain. This new unit has a model number of RPTRMC. The “MC” suffix indicates this new version. I threw out my old version and purchased this new one and it worked perfectly first try. I hope that helps at least one other person from losing their mind. :)
Chamberlain garage 2011 manufactured. Everything is good and after pressing learn the garage lights flick on and off saying it’s paired. But my garage still does not open when I press the button … don’t know what else to do
2011 might actually be the older technology. The documentation that cam with your bride will tell you what years and models it's supposed to work with. You may not need it at all.
@@Rythecarguy My bridge arrives tomorrow. We have four cars. Appears we'll pair the remote to all four cars first, then plug in the bridge? Whenever you program in the future you unplug the bridge first?
My Home link won't work with my SC 430 (2004). Doesn't make sense. Car remotes have been cleared. When press the Home Link (single button remote) on any my car remote buttons (the 3 unit button attached to the car) slow blinking light res light just turn off after 30 seconds, which means so I can't go the Step #2, there for, no joy.
@@Rythecarguy I realized this one button remote is necessary to give the car a one time code it can use to connect to the bridge, which is why the bridge needs to be unplugged during this process. Someone asked the question why LIftmaster didn't just include a bridge in the opener, but that would compromise the security of the opener, effectively rolling it back the older version of Homelink. The one button remote ensures that only the owner can connect to the bridge.
@@joshuapinter You want the bridge to be off while you teach the car (with the one-time remote) the access code it needs to talk to the bridge. If the bridge was on, I'm assuming it would see the one-time remote, which is not what you want. Once the car has the access code, you turn the bridge back on and have it learn from the car, so that the car and the bridge are now paired.
@@Rythecarguy Then what is the purpose of the remote control and the first step i.e. programing the remote? Or put it this way - why do you need the programmed remote to accomplish this? Looks to me the remote is not going to be used again in the process?
You don't tell us what to do after everything is configured. Do I need to keep the bridge plugged in forever for the connection to continue to work? Or can I unplug and put the bridge and the remote away and save it for the next time I need to configure an old Homelink with the new garage door opener? I think I know the answer, but others may not.
@@Rythecarguy 😆 No unfortunately it's just a bad product. Video was spot on but the module is trash. If you successfully get a vehicle connected, no other vehicles can connect to it, more so even if you had 12' and newer vehicles that were able to connect to it prior without the need for the module, they will no longer be able to connect to the opener. It's that one vehicle ONLY nothing else. Bad product!
