Liftmaster 8500 and Homelink
I just had a new liftmaster door opener installed at my house yesterday
I was told and I also read that a new liftmaster can not be programmed with any model vehicle older than 2012
I believe that to be true because my 18 year old liftmaster door opener did program to my Crossfire
I was informed of this by the company I purchased it from in advance
The same company that has provided me service for 18 years

Crazy that a new garage door opener doesn't work natively with a new Homelink system.

This is a great tip!

I had the same problem. The old opener worked with homelink. Changed to a new liftmaster and it would not.
Went to a local garage door distributor/installer and explained my issue. In 30 seconds there was a box on the counter with a plug in repeater and new remote
You plug in the repeater and press the learn button on the door opener then you can use the new remote to operate the door. You use the new remote to program the home link.
Our cars are not the only cars affected. All older models are impacted. Every garage door specialist will know exactly what you need.
Buy one local and get it same day. With peace of mind that it will work.
