Thank You!! We got a new Liftmaster MyQ. Tried endlessly to program Homelink to my 2008 Lexus, failed time and again. Finally got the Homelink Repeater, still failed doing it via their Learn Button on the main wall control panel garage opener. After watching your video, I got out my step ladder and pressed the Yellow Train button in the overhead unit. 'Voila' Success! Thank You so much for posting this!!
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
This is a fantastic video because it is short concise and not full of a bunch of bs. I followed your steps and it worked great the first or second time. I was able to program a 2005 BMW and a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado without any issues. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! I was banging my head against the wall trying to get my vehicle working and this saved me. You should put an Amazon link up to the repeater so that you can get a few bucks.
Problem solved. I had been struggling with this for a week. I watched your video bought the part for $40 and spent 5 min setting it up. Works like a charm. Thanks!!!!
Had the same problem with my 2004 Chrysler Crossfire. When I lived in PA it worked with the house opener there as did my 2013 Jeep, My house in Nevada has a 3 year old LiftMaster and it works with the Jeep but not the Crossfire as many times as I tried to program it. Then I discovered that I needed the Homelink translator. In 5 minutes the problem was solved and it works just fine. Thanks.
Ok, great. I just followed this for my B7 2007 Audi RS4. Got a new Liftmaster sidemount 8500 I believe, and Homelink quit working (worked on old garage opener, but not the new unit). So the only difference in the instructions here, were, I tried using the learn button on the opener unit and I couldn't get the Homelink visor button to 'speak' to the opener. So I tried the process again, but then used the 'learn' button on the keypad (have to press it twice to stay in learn mode) went back to the car, held the III Homelink button again, and this time it worked. I could have used this repeater years ago! Thank you
I built my house in 2019 and it came with MyQ Liftmaster garage doors which I was happy about since they were smart and I could control with my phone. Earlier this year I picked up a beater SUV a 2004 Lincoln Aviator to haul my bikes and dog around in. I could not get Homelink to link to this at all I searched everywhere for an answer and even asked on a few car forums and everyone said I was doing it wrong. I could get my 2017 Lincoln MKZ linked fine but the 2004 Aviator would not link at all. I thought maybe the module in the car was bad and ordered a used one off ebay. Thankfully I found your video so I think that should solve the issue. What a frustrating experience!
Followed your video instead of the paper instructions. Worked like a charm. The only issue is that I think the E90 Homelink signal seems to be Very short range and I mean Short range. Less than 10 feet. I had to move the unit from the top power supply to the closest power supply to the garage door itself. My Toyota I can open the door from down the street. Crazy
Could have been a 50% shorter video, but the advice is exactly accurate and it shows a different procedure than the manual and what the installation professional told us. Thanks!
Great posting! Thanks to your posting, we successfully resync our 2005 BMW Homelink to our newer 2018 Liftmaster MyQ garage door opener. Appreciate the step by step instructions! Followed it to the T and walla!! Back in business!! We can now open our garage door via wi-fi, Homelink or the hand held remotes. Many thanks again. Best regards.
I just installed my repeater to use with my 2005 Subaru Forester with the multifunction Homelink/Compass/Autodimming mirror. It's always been tempermental and took multiple tries to get it to work with my old opener that was still using the old Homelink standard. It took somebody getting into my car and stealing the remote for me to finally go through the learning process several times to get it to work. With this repeater, I had similar issues getting the included remote for step 1 to properly learn the car's homelink signal. But after a few tries holding the remote in front, below, in back, etc of the mirror, I finally got it to work. For now I'll keep my other Chamberlin remote stashed safely in my car until I am sure the car's homelink button keeps working. Then, the extra remote can stay at the top of the stairs for when I want to make a quick exit out the garage or taking something down the stairs with my hands full.
Just bought a 2008 Mercedes gl320 and had no idea why it wasn’t programming before. I waited 3 minutes continually pressing the button thinking that it would help. Once I watched this video, I was done in five minutes. One thing I learned is that the key needs to be on the “on” position and not acc. Otherwise, the memory won’t be stored.
Basically any garage door opener that are yellow learn button equipped can not be linked. Only older models that has the red, purple, and maybe green or orange button can still be linked and its due to the transmitted frequency spectrum. That of course, homelink in older model cars is also outdated and isn’t equipped to communicate with newer model garage opener.
I have a Liftmaster 2008 manufacture date with the purple program button and a 2018 Audi S4 with side assist ....have to pull the 5amp fuse for side assist from trunk fuse box then program homelink with door opener procedure for all garage doors then replace the fuse. Liftmaster bridge would not work.....have to pull the fuse.
Thank you for taking your time on making this video. I’ve spend many moons trying to figure this crap out. Will this works for 2 garage and do you have to leave the repeater in the car permanently for the home link to work? Cheers 🍻
I tried everything on my 2013 BMW M3 E92 will not program. Homelink on the car worked with my HOA community front gate tho. Just ordered repeater from Amazon, should be here tomorrow. Crossing fingers. 🤞 Thanks for the video!
Nice. What happen if you program the remote Homelink that came with your kit with your garage door opener, it will work too? And if you have an old hand held remote (from your older garage door), can you program through the repeater if you pair it to the garage door opener.
If you have a Liftmaster 8550 jackshaft opener with My Q keypad use the keypad not the yellow button on the opener itself. I wasted hours trying to do it as instucted by the homelink written instructions. Also, understand the homelink repeater garage door opener fob will not open the door by itself so don't worry if it doesn't.
"understand the homelink repeater garage door opener fob will not open the door by itself so don't worry if it doesn't." Exactly. This confused me as well, I tried to get the Homelink remote working with the garage door opener first before trying to program the car. Mistake!
To answer why new openers don’t work with old vehicles: homelink changed their firmware in 2012 vehicles and newer. So any vehicle from 2011 and back won’t be compatible with new openers and will need this repeater.
In the same situation so thank you for the video and info!!! Quick question. Will it still work when the power goes out? The motor unit has battery backup but repeater box is on its own outlet so just wondering if it still opens without power.
Hello, I bought also this repeater for my mercedes 2007. But i think your garage door opener is "allready compatible" with home link system. isn't it? I mean, you don't have any cable connection to your the door opener and allready the opener can comunicate wireless with repeater. isn't it?
Nice! Does the repeater have to be plugged in permanently or can it be removed as soon as the garage opener works? Also, can it be used for 3 garage openers or do I need one per garage opener? Thanks! Great video!
The repeater does need to be plugged in permanently. As for if it can be used for 3, it would depend on if each door opener responds to a different transmitter. If so, it might require 3 repeaters. But if the 3 door openers somehow share a signal you may be able to get by with one. (short answer is I dont know for sure how it will impact your specific system. Id try 1, and order another if needed.)
I have a 2011 GMC Yukon and a brand new Chamberlain just like in the video. I bought the Homelink just like in the video. Followed the procedure but nothing seems to work. I can program the Yukon button with the Homelink (light flashes), but it still doesn't operate the Chamberlain garage opener. Any ideas??
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. :)
I am having an issue setting this up and would like to know if you push the button on the remote that came with the repeater does your garage door opener activate? Does the remote behave like any other garage door remote with the repeater in play?
Does the repeater (device that looks like the garage door opener remote) have to remain in the vehicle after successfully programing the Homelink bridge?
You said you programmed both your cars. Can that be done with one Homelink plugin Bridge and one remote controller or do you need two, one for each vehicle. I have two vehicles in same situation as you and need both to connect through Homelink Bridge to my new Chamberlain B750 Garage Door Opener. Thanks.
It can be done with one. I used just one to program both the BMW and the AUDI. Once I finished with the BMW I went and then used the hand held remote trainer to train the Audi to the same signal. So you just need to buy one kit to program 2 cars (or more) for 1 single garage. Hope this helps and good luck!
Got my Bridge today and it worked exactly as you describe in your excellent video. Thank you very much for this video. I used it and all went well. I had the Chamberlain B750 MyQ belt drive model installed two days ago. Purchased Bridge from Amazon with one day delivery. I have a 2006 Lexus RX-330 and a 2011 Lexus RX-350. Both needed Bridge to make the garage door open and close. Determined I needed this after checking Chamberlain's website for compatibility. To emphasize, as you so well say, you only need one Bridge for multiple cars to work on one or more Chamberlain openers in your garage. Thanks again!
I would think you would need another repeater kit dedicated to your second door. Doubt this can control 2 garage door opener units with only 1 repeater
Have been trying without success to pair Liftmaster 8550 opener with mirror-mounted remote in a 2013 BMW. From this video it was apparent that I needed to use the HomeLink Repeater to translate the signal from the car to the opener. So I got the repeater and followed the steps as instructed, but again no success. The first steps appear to go as expected but when I push the "Learn" button on the opener unit, the LED does not light up and when I then push the programmed button in the car nothing happens. Is there a problem in the opener unit? Why doesn't the Learn LED light as it should? I'm baffled by this one. Suggestions?
I just programmed my lift master 8550 using the repeater on my 2005 Tahoe, no problems. Be sure to push the yellow button one time, quickly, then you only have 30 seconds to program. This is after you already linked your car to the remote provided with the repeater. Hope this helps, Jim
@@JB-kw4ug Thanks for responding. I again tried to program it, following your suggestion on pushing the yellow Learn button once quickly, then pushing the button in the car to finalize programming within 30 seconds. Still doesn't work. When I push the Learn button on the opener unit, the little yellow LED next to the Learn button does not light up as it should. I suspect there is some problem with that opener unit, but I don't know if there is a way to correct it. Still scratching my head...
Has anyone tried pairing their repeater to multiple garage openers? We have a double car garage with 2 myQ garage openers. Just curious and wondering if 2 repeaters need to be purchased.
Yes, mine knows if it is open or closed. The open/closed position is monitored by the garage door lift unit itself and not the homelink repeater. The repeater is just a bridge. (If your door cant tell that now, then repeater will not add it, but if your door can monitor that now, the repeater wont remove it. It stays the same)

Very well presented and articulated!!!
Thank you for making this. I own a 2011 Z4 that was having the same issue. Problem solved.

No. Once you program it you just use your cars onboard transmitter. The repeater can stay at home.
Has anyone tried pairing their repeater to multiple garage openers? We have a double car garage with 2 myQ garage openers. Just curious and wondering if 2 repeaters need to be purchased.
I would also like to know this. I just installed two direct drive openers for two doors and need to programs my 3 BMWs to be able to open each one.
Single repeater works fine. We have one repeater for all three doors.
It will not work with Craftsman
Chamberlain said Homelinks 2010 and earlier don't work with the newer Chamberlains. It isn't the make of the car, it is the era of the Homelink.
Will it know whether a garage door is open or closed? Probably not as I don't see a door sensor. Worthless.
Yes, mine knows if it is open or closed. The open/closed position is monitored by the garage door lift unit itself and not the homelink repeater. The repeater is just a bridge.
