Anybody had success in programming Homelink with apartment or condo garage door signals?

I live in a condo with a keyfob-activated garage door opener, but I can't get the Homelink to recognize the signal. The Homelink light just keeps slowly blinking while in programming mode. I don't think it's a rolling code since there are hundreds of keyfobs in use. Is there a difference between building and house signalling?

 

You should contact Homelink, and also your condo association to find out what brand of a signal receiver / gate opener you have.

I have a garage / gate combo also, and I was able to program both of them into the Homelink. It does take a long time to recognize, but within the 20 seconds alotted.

 

I live in an apartment and was able to program my garage just fine, it was a rolling code, there is a button on the back of the garage door opener that allows it to "learn" the homelink button's signal. I would imagine that if your complex is relatively new that they would be a rolling code.

 

Have you cleared the Homelink system first?

Mine wouldn't program until I did that....

Can't hurt to try.

Thanks all for the feedback. I have tried resetting the Homelink already. The building is barely 1 year old, but there's no learning button on the fob. I'll check with property management about the type of opener that's installed. There are a couple of other tsx in the lot, I'll leave a note on their windshield to see if they have had any luck.

 

the learning button should be on the back of the garage open (the thing that is on the celing the opens the door)

 

My Homelink would not program with the key fob opener. I had to use the full size opener (visor size) for it to program correctly. I found this out after calling the opener manufacturer.
