Never got past the first button on left, just wanted to open and close the garage. It has been working for a few months now, I was so proud of myself. Still don't know why it worked, just happy it did.

 

I have a Liftmaster and the Xfire Homelink works my garage door just fine.

I just followed the instructions in the Manual carefully, and it worked the first time.

I believe that Liftmaster is the OEM Manufacturer for the Craftsman (sold by Sears), but I may be wrong.

Might not be a bad idea to use this thread to list the various openers that have been successful with Homelink...!!!

 

Even better maybe make this a sticky thread as I have done a lot of digging into this prior to booking my garage door in to be automated.

I have spoken to Homelink in Europe and Chrysler technical who are still to get back to me.

Follow my instructions earlier in this thread to determine the software version of homelink in your car and the region code. Mine is version 6 and UK.

Version 6 needs a 434mhz transmitter/reciever for the crossfire to talk to the opener. Sommer UK supply 800mhz transmitters as standard but I am making arrangements to change the PCB in the Sommer motor so it talks on the right frequency to esnure it works.
I have not tested it on the 800mhz band yet becasue the company came out today to install it but brought a wall mounted control unit! I wanted a unit that was mounted on the ceiling and plugged into the socket in the ceiling out of the way. Plus the de latching kit for the lock had not arrived so they are coming tuesday to do the whole job.

I will show a video once complete on how to code it in to the car for other people on this site.

Seems a bit odd I know I thought the whole idea of Homelink was a standard set across the range that enabled deices to communicate, it seems this is not the case and you need to check what version you are running etc


Hope this helps...

Getting in late on this but I have homelink in all my cars and program procedures must be followed closely for them to work. Also, please remember --- you can only operate (and program) the crossfire when the key is in ON position -- so if you have issues programming, that is critical. Also, sometimes you have to go to the garage unit and / or you can use the door opener remotes to program the homelink directly in the car (it recognized the code from either).

Anyway, it's nice having these -- but only if they work.

 

Good point on setting Homelink via the Opener, versus the Remote.

On my particular unit I had to take the additional step as outlined in the Manual, and set Homelink via the set button on the Garage Door Opener.

I missed this the first time a tried to Program it, but once I completed the additional step, I was home free.

(I guess it pays to completely read the instructions...lol...).

 

Has anyone installed Homelink in a Base Crossfire and if so was it a big deal?

 

I put in a HomeLink rear view mirror. It is a bit bigger mirror than the OEM. The HomeLink is a nice feature.

 

Thanks. Where did you get the hemline.

 

I purchased a brand new homelink mirror on ebay.

 

All working now even though Chrysler Technical UK said it was not possible on the crossfire!! Useless.

Version 6 of homelink works on 434mhz, now all working on our Sommer garage door opener. Easy to program. See:-

I tried to set up the "Home Link" sys dozens of times with no sucess. I finally tried again doing the set finale on the opener itself. and it worked. Never a problem since. ( over a year now)
