All I can say is that I've found it can be a very frustrating experience getting HomeLink to work with Teslas. I was ultimately successful but it took a lot of patience. I had the same thing as you at least once, i.e. eventually it "learns" but then the garage door doesn't actually operate. When...

Some garage door receivers need to be put into 'learn' mode - the Tesla screen tells you about it. I'd assumed this wasn't applicable to mine, but I was wrong. To put my Seip EKR1MCG receiver into learn mode, I had to hold a fob against the top of the receiver casing and press any button for...

It turns out "I was pairing it wrong"! Our Model 3 HomeLink works fine now that I've re-read the manual for our Seip EKR1MCGEF and re-trained the Model 3. So I'm a happy bunny.

I wish there was a way of doing some kind of debugging / troubleshooting when the HomeLink doesn't work. It's really hard to figure out what's wrong when it either "works or it doesn't". There's nothing to go on.

We have Silvelox garage doors and our Model S wouldn't open them initially. Then I bought a couple of Seip EKR1MCGEF receivers and SKR433-3 fob from Armourelle Products and when I fitted them to the doors, I found that I could program/use the HomeLink fine on the Model S. So that's one possible...

Update: The good news is that a ranger from Newcastle came to install HomeLink on our Model 3 last Tuesday (because the Leeds ranger was busy) free of charge so that was great. The bad news is that although the HomeLink feature is now on the car and claims to have successfully learnt our remote...

Still waiting...

Tesla called me this morning after I submitted a service request via the app yesterday and the lady said they’ve ordered the part from the USA. No mention of any cost so hopefully free! Looking good so far then...

Wow thanks Roy, that's a great story so far! Here's hoping for a happy ending to it. That's a potentially valuable screenshot you took :). Looking forward to hearing your updates, like several others I expect.

It's great to hear that HomeLink is definitely available as a retrofit. Actually I don't think that's too bad a price considering the time and trouble of doing the work, and the convenience it brings. Now the only question is whether Tesla will waive the charge for cars ordered before 30 May...

Thanks for your encouragement Roy! I have sent a message through the app so I hope they respond positively. Did you receive your car with HomeLink already installed? Thanks Stag! That's very kind of you. I'll get back to you if needed ;)

We picked up our UK RHD Model 3 Long Range AWD with Premium Interior last Thursday and sadly it didn't come with HomeLink. We ordered the car on 10 May 2019 based on our reservation dated 2 Apr 2016. There's an option to buy HomeLink for $300 at the web link below, but it only allows US Service...
