Homelink & Remote Question
#2
The homelink system is a remote itself built into the car. So I dont get what your asking? You want a remote for a remote? I just programmed mine to open my garage the other day... so maybe i can help you if I understand your question. Just let me know what it is that your are actually tryign to do.

Our family uses the garage as our main way of getting in our house. Now we do have two sets of spare keys just incase the garage motor breaks, which has happened about 4x's already since we use the garage so much but what I was trying to say was I find myself not using my car sometimes and instead of punching in the garage code on a keypad, is there a way to have a remote that activates the Homelink system in our cars..or even our garage motor?

So let me see if I got this straight... u basically want to open up your garage door w/o punching the numbers on the key pad and not from the Car's Home Link system. Is that correct? If so.. can you tell me what brand Garage Door Opener you have installed.. and I'll try to help.
In simple... you should be able to purchase another remote that opens the garage door. When I got mine installed... I have a Lift Master.. it came with a wall mountalbe button switch to mount inside the garage to close and open, and also two remotes to clip on to the 2 cars sun visors. Now, as the TL doesnt need this remote, as it has the Home Link.. I had a left over remote. I mounted this remote inside the house by my patio switches.
Cost of remote should be less than 50 bux. I hope this helps and this is what u were asking for.

Go to the place who installed ur guage opener. Or goto ur local Home Depot and get another "remote garage opener", either same brand, or u can get a universal one that works with any brand. They usually go for $15~30.
Here is one from homedepot.com

They also make key chain garage door remotes. I have a Chamberlain and it was one of the options.

I have a garage door with a rolling code so I don't know how to program it into the Homelink. I cannot find the button on the unit which I use to program the Homelink. I think its a Liftmaster.

Now obviously this should be done only after you followed the steps in your manual of clearing the codes in the homelink and holding one of the garage openers remote up to the home link.
Come on guys I know you can do this!! Haha! Hope this helps will be glad to help more if needed. I would take pictures, but my sister has my digi cam in FL and won't get back till Saturday night.

I have Homelink in my TL, and no garage, however I have some x10 units in the house. I attempted to have the homelink unit "learn" the code that turns on some lights in the house by holding down both the transmitter and homelink button, and waiting for the blinking indication that it was "learned". This did not work for me. Has anyone else had more luck in doing something like this. I am going to keep trying...
