After several failed attempts from other videos and instructions, this worked! I was able to pair my brand new Smart 2021 Chamberlain B970 garage door opener to my 2018 Subaru Legacy. I was missing the step where I had to clear out my Homelink from my previous garage door opener. I didn't even have to use the learn button. Thank you! Now if I could only rekey my Kwikset "SmartKey" locks.
THIS WORKS! 2018 Subie Outback, watched five other videos and they did not work! This gentleman's procedure is correct. Just for reference, we have the basic opener, not the rolling code. Video short, to the point and _correct_.
Thank you so much man yours is the only video that finally click something to my head and made my Subaru talk sweet sweet love to my garage door you rock dude thanks
Gudrun Neumann if you already have things programmed to the Homelink system in your vehicle you can skip the step where you hold the first and last button to clear the memory. You can just hold down the single button you want to program to the garage door without affecting the other program buttons. this process should not interfere with any other programs devices. I hope this addresses your question properly. Thank you!
Gudrun Neumann when you press the learn button on your garage motor it should be a short press. If you happen to hold it for a few seconds this will typically delete any devices that are synced up to it. you have to add each device back on according to the instructions for that device. Your keypad should have an owner's manual that came with it and if not you can pull up the instruction through the manufacturer of your keypad. I know it may be a little bit of a pain but it can all be reprogrammed just like the mirror but they instructions for each programmable item maybe slightly different.
I just got my 2019 Outback and have been trying and trying to program the garage door opener. It will not change from a flashing orange to a green light at all. Help, please! I've had no problem with my other two cars that also have homelink.
There are a lot of variables that can cause you to have this issue. I was going to post about them all but if you want to quickly troubleshoot these items and just get it handled quickly, I suggest a call to Homelink directly where they will troubleshoot the issue. Please let me know what the problem ended up being. If you struggle with finding the cure with them, I would gladly do a live video chat with you to help. You can reach Homelink at 1-800-355-3515.
We too just this week bought a 2019 Outback and had the same results as you. After a few hours of programming the wall opener and 5 remotes and the vehicle I finally got the car programmed. Super frustrating.
after I have installed this /programmed to my 2017 Subaru, do I need to leave the actual garage door opener in my car or can I take it out of the car? thx, Donna and it works, thank you it was very easy and I am not computer savvy
Donna Knight-Staton You can leave your remote in the house. the main purpose of the Homelink system is for you to conveniently be able to open your garage door without having the remote in your car. It's also safer because somebody could break into a car and take a garage door remote but the Homelink system is not active unless the car is on. Let me know if you have any other questions!
What do you do if when you try to initially program the mirror button but you never get the rapidly flashing green light? I erased the previous programming first by pushing the 1st and 3rd buttons.
Does homelink work with only the learn button on the back of the garage door opener? Just bought a house and previous owner had dementia and presumably lost remotes.
Luckily it's something that I recently looked into. SimpliSafe is not compatible with the homelink system. I'm no expert in alarm systems but I am pretty nerdy when it comes to home automation. I personally use myQ for my garage door hub and it is very simple and to the point.
Still doesn’t work for me after trying all the steps. When pressing the learn button and go to sink up the mirror, I don’t get a green light at all. Just flashes orange and then stops all together.
No. The Homelink system is designed to COPY your remote signal. You can pick up a universal remote at most electronic stores or on Amazon and use that for programming. They are quite inexpensive.
I have HomeLink for my 2013 BRZ, using the identical Chamberlain opener you have in the video.. doesn't work. I did the reset, held both desired HomeLink button and opener button at the same time, waited 30 seconds and nothing. Light doesn't speed flash for me. Tried using the learn button on my motor and it just doesn't want to read. Spent almost 10 hours trying to do this, and got a solid arm workout from constantly holding buttons down. Any ideas?
Keep in mind I followed all the steps outlined in the video extremely accurately, very tech savvy and I believe the only issue is my HomeLink is broken
I'm sorry that you had to spend that much time on it. You definitely shouldn't have to waste 10 hours of your day with this. I think your best shot at quick resolution, since there may be a variable not address in the video, Is to contact homelink support directly. This will be your fastest way to figure it out what is causing the issue. You can contact homelink directly at 1-800-355-3515. Let us know how it goes! 🤞
@@TrentTheCarGuy Thanks, I felt like there was an issue of connectivity so I held down 3 different chamberlain openers (all linked to the motor) at the same time while holding the HomeLink button, and that seemed to get me the rapid flashing. Now I went to press the learn button and immediately went to the car, pressed the chosen button, and it does rapid blink. Is that fine? Door doesn't move but I think I'm supposed to press it a bunch of times. Any ideas?
@@Scirollo if it is programming correctly you probably have to hold down the button at the very end that you want to program for a second or two let go and then hold it down for a second or two and it should open the garage if it doesn't just try a third time and it should work. If it doesn't then you may have an issue with one of the homelink systems.
We just purchased a 2019 Subaru Ascent. We do not have a remote control remote. How do we program the car (mirror control) to the garage door opener? The Homelink mirror system is more complicated then the Homelink system on our 2015 Outback.
T Johnson Congrats on the Ascent! My Feb Ascent order arrived in last week of June. Get ready on my channel for some amazing videos I shot yesterday in the desert! I am guessing you have a Touring model if the mirror seems even more high tech. I will be putting a specific video up this month on programming that one but if you do not have a remote, I am not aware of any way to program Homelink without. You need to purchase a universal remote (unless you can borrow one from someone and just help them reprogram after you use it) and then follow the normal Homelink steps. If you have the Touring Ascent, just press one of the 3 buttons to program and it will tell you step by step what to do to program. All the Homelink programming requires a remote. Let me know how it goes or if you need helping finding one to purchase. Thanks!!!
Yes, after working an hour on programming, there is only one way and that is with an actual hand held remote. We were successful reprogramming an old garage remote, to then program the mirror remote. Thanks.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to get it completed. I am going to be using my RU-vid frequently from now on and it is going to be very focused on the Subaru Ascent. Be sure to subscribe and you are going to see some very impressive Ascent info!
Trent, I have a 2021 Outback and I tried to program the garage door opener as you said many times using the 'learn' button on the Chamberlain machine. No luck. Any ideas what I can try? Thx, Eric
@@ericdownward6170 When you pressed the learn button on the garage motor, you should only have to press it (don't hold it) and you have to get back to the car and do the final step within 30 seconds. Also, make sure you are pressing the same button that you programmed on the mirror earlier and that you hold that button down for like 2 seconds and then release. If nothing happens, try holding for 2 more seconds and release and if still nothing, try a 3rd time.
@@TrentTheCarGuy Yeah, my wife was on the stepladder and pressed the learn button. I cleared all the previous programs using 1 and 3 buttons and tried to program. I will give it another go but I'm sure I did it so that it should work but it didn't.
@@ericdownward6170 If that doesn't work, my next advice would be to clear the codes using button 1 and 3 and trying again and if that doesn't do the trick, I would suggest calling Homelink directly and they will guide you through anything that may be getting in the way. You can reach Homelink at 1-800-355-3515. Update us on here if you find a solution by trying again or what the solution is from Homelink please. :)
Veronica Wojciaczyk You follow the same process using one of the other 3 programmable buttons. You do not need to hold the 2 outside buttons to reset the system so skip that step for the next device.
Trent The Car Guy 2019 Crosstrek and 2020 Impreza. Neither will sync. Craftsman opener. I don’t get any of the lights except the green dot above the home icon.
@@Intraosseous Since this is happening on both vehicles, I am guessing it may be a compatibility issue with the Homelink and your particular garage door opener. There was one time where nothing worked so I called Homelink and found out that specific garage door opener and the Homelink versions in the mirrors were not compatible. I suggest you try asking them as they have always been pretty helpful in the past. Call Homelink at 1-800-355-3515 and please update us on here since it could help the next person having a similar issue. 👍
