Did anyone else purchase the Home Link module for $300.00 from Tesla... I purchase mine on April 5th, still waiting for a call from the Service Department in Miramar for the install. Will give them a call tomorrow.

Home Link Automatic Garage Opener

I don't understand this? Is this option not default on a model 3?
Having my HomeLink module installed on 4/23 at the SC. While I was initially disappointed that it didn’t come with my SR+, I’m just happy they decided to offer it after delivery.
Got a reply back:
“Thanks for contacting Tesla. After reviewing your order, we have confirmed that all the parts for the Automatic Garage Opener have arrived at your designated service center.
We have notified the service center to reach out to you for installation. However, if they do not contact you, please feel free to self-schedule an installation appointment via the Tesla mobile app or through your Tesla account profile.”
I made an appointment at another location due to the date the first service center had appointments well into May. I would be out of town. So waiting for a reply to ensure they can send the part over to the other SC for the install on the 26th of April.

I ordered back on April 10 as well. Heard nothing. Called the service center and they had no idea what I was talking about. They asked for a picture of the receipt. I sent to them and they activated HomeLink on my touchscreen however it doesn't work. Drove the car to the service center and they confirmed they need to install the module under the front bumper. The earliest appointment is in May. Kinda sucks.
- Park your car in front of the device you want to program.
- Access the HomeLink settings on your touchscreen through Controls > Settings > HomeLink.
- Add a new HomeLink.
- Select ‘Program.'
- Follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
As mentioned earlier in this thread the Homelink hardware is not included with the SR/SR+ versions of the Model 3. If someone with one of those Model 3’s wants Homelink functionality they need to purchase the option and Tesla needs to install the hardware in their car.
Tesla quotes 2 hours; it takes at least an hour. They have to remove parts of the frunk to install it, then the car config needs to be updated and tested. I just had the mobile tech do it recently at our home and it went very smooth.
Removing parts of the frunk is news. Prior to your post, I read the front bumper had to be removed. Was your front bumper and parts of the frunk removed...or was the front bumper left in place?
You have to remove the frunk interior trim in order to get to the upper bumper bolts. It really isn't hard. My friend and I removed my bumper in 10 minutes so that I could install a used homelink module from Ebay. I then only needed the service center to do a reconfiguration to get Homelink to pop up on the MCU. It was super cheap this way.
My car is in the service centre here (UK) for another issue so I asked them to do the Homelink install whilst it was in. Unfortunately they say the part is back ordered from the US so who knows when it will get here.
