Same here. I do have HomeLink installed, but no FSD, and the button is not in the app for me.

Mobile app 3.10.0, Homelink

Just wondering if my App v. 3.10.0 is different - not even a button to open the trunk (just frunk). Would like to have Homelink... Odd to not be included since option on most cars nowadays.

You will have to select "Controls" on the app to see the Trunk button. You're almost there.
Also, if you select the "gear Icon" in the upper left, then scroll to bottom of that page you will see which app version you have.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but Homelink was always available - initiated from the vehicle screen. This latest change is adding Homelink to the Tesla app.

Yes, the latest change is to the phone app. It seems it was added to the phone app so those folks with Summon could open their garage door, pull the car out and then close the garage door...all while being outside the car. If that is the case, then I can see why Tesla only has Homelink button in app for those with Summon option. However, it would be nice for the app button to be available to all that have the Homelink in their car.

I'm having the same issue as well. Can't activate homelink via the app with the exact same error message.
I'm thinking that this may be a bug. Did you get this working somehow?

Sure would be nice to get the Homelink button on the App. I'd love to be able to open the garage from the outside without having to carry a separate opener! My M3 LR AWD has Homelink built in, love the feature, so why on the screen in the car and not on the App? Can't see the logic in only making this available under FSD: I'd love to buy that - but can't justify (nor cough up!) $6k 
Maybe Tesla will offer a Black Friday FSD sale? Yeah right....

In the v10 release notes on my 2014 S60 without AP, it said HomeLink could be used from v3.10.0 of the app. I have that version and like many others here, the option doesn't appear in the app.
I had been thinking about that feature months before I found out about it in the release notes. I moved into a rental house earlier in the year and my mower (Ryobi electric rider) shares the garage with my car. I take it out the back manual garage and drop the door down so I'm not throwing stuff at my car. The thought occasionally crosses my mind that if that garage ever got stuck and I couldn't open it back up, I wouldn't have a way in unless I remembered to unlock a door or take the house key. The landlord kept the garage opener after I programmed the car and I haven't bothered to ask him for it since I haven't actually needed it.
Being able to open the garage from my phone would be the perfect backup since I always have my phone on me anyway. Another potential use may be to let guests in when I can't immediately get to the door. Most likely, I'd just be showing it off as I do with so many of the other features.

But... that costs money and adds to my clutter of things. If Tesla does what they promised, it doesn't cost anything or take up any additional space. Especially given that promise which I expect would eventually be fulfilled, I'd rather not buy a physical object that I would only use in an unlikely scenario that would otherwise just be a harmless inconvenience.
Homelink in the app is *not* new. It's been available in the summon screen for months. It was just moved to the controls screen instead.
Ah, I don't have Homelink in my current 3, so I don't have the icon, but I had it in my past one and it was definately on the summon screen. Both places now is good.
Maybe it's a setting on your main screen in the homelink settings. I remember being in those a while back and there was a setting do you have my car open my garage door automatically as I approached maybe there's another checkbox that's been added in that menu to enable homelink to be activated remotely with another device I'm not at my car right now or I would check but I like many do not have the button in the app but it may be like enabling remote access or something that has to be enabled in the car.
Me too. I've exchanged several notes with Tesla support...nothing they have recommended has worked so far.
