Home Link Automatic Garage Opener

Yes, but I actually have the physical device installed, I just need to go to the service center. Through Tesla, they first ship the device to the service center, then the service center calls you to make an appointment. It’s been more than 2 months and that hasn’t happened. Also, in some ways I prefer
doing my own work whenever possible. I have seen posts where people have had damage from Tesla service removing their bumper. I know I’m going to be more careful than anyone else because it’s my car.
I was just quoted $97.50. Cost of unit on eBay ~$150 so you save about $50. I'm sure charges may vary at different service centers. Mine wanted to charge me $45 for 2 $17 air filters. Will check around at other service centers for the programming, as well.

Hey!... where exactly does the homelink go? I know behind the bumper, but driver side, passenger, center... could you post a pic or any info on this? I need it!!
Here is the bracket right in the middle with the module not plugged in yet.
I ordered mine on August 13th. Still no words. I wrote them several times and no response. I have "
Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance" edition with all bells and whistles and garage opener was not there by default. They said its a quick upgrade and while I paid $300 for it still waiting for over a month. I do have email confirming my order with order # in it (((((

Has anyone tried installing the prior generation Homelink Module 1005371-00-B in a Model 3? That part number is going for $50 on eBay and would be an awesome deal if it functioned... The Tesla Parts Catalog shows both versions on the Model X and S catalogs, but not on the Model 3 catalog.

I didn't watch the full procedure, but I don't think the mobile tech that did mine removed the whole bumper. He turned my wheels all the way to one side and then loosened some bolts just on that side. So I think maybe there is a way to slip it in from the side of the wheel well, like how you disconnect the noise maker, as long as the bumper is loose.

That's basically what I saw. But I was glad they didn’t have to lay the softly painted bumper on the ground.

Did anyone tried to use same Homelink module from another brand? Looks like Modules look exactly the same for Model 3 vs AUDI 2016-2019. Someone mentioned they had to flash their unit, maybe that will do the trick.
that’s way more work than $300 worth. Tesla is wasting more labor hours than just including it while it’s rolling down the factory line.
