I posted this in the Interior thread, but I'd like to post here as well.

I've searched for information regarding wiring a Limited garage door opener in a Base model, but came up empty.
Has anyone done this?
Also, I have a set of SRT wheels with factory tires (taken off when new). What would need to be done to wire the tire pressure sensors? I'm assuming the SRT wheels have sensors. Would I be assuming too much?

 

Has no one done this yet?

 

Be Patient - someone knowledgeable will show up.

But with a base model, I'm thinking that there is TOO MUCH missing to overcome all of this.
The electronics in these cars is no "integrated" that is, many systems are part of other systems.

I'll bet that both ideas are not gonna go anywhere... but I can't say for sure.

 

Thanks. It appears from the unit that I bought, that all the electronics are self contained and that all I need to do it apply power. I will have an automotive engineer friend take a look as well. If we're successful, I'll post a how to. It may take a couple of months before I can even find time to work on it, though.

Am I correct in thinking that all SRT wheels would have come from the factory with the tire pressure sensor?

 

I think so! All SRTs had TPMS - at least that is what I believe.

And I still think the TPMS in the wheel "talks" to a pickup near the tire and it is wireline to the overhead. I thought I read that in the service manual somewhere... but I could be wrong.

SOMEONE will come along within a day or so and set us strait.

 

I'm sure it can be accomplished. But I can't recall anyone posting that they have done it.

 

Adding the Homelink is doable. I was planning to add one to my Special Edition. I purchased a Crossfire Homelink off of ebay. The Homelink connector pin outs are on page 8W-80-66 of the 2004 service manual you can download from this site. Pin 1 is for the ignition switch B+ (12v), Pin 5 is for fused B+(12v), and pin 3 is ground. I connected the Homelink directly to the battery (bench type test) and successfully programmed it to operate my garage openers. Unlike other Chrysler products (as we know it was not built by Chrysler) the Crossfire does not have connectors and wires for accessories not sold with the car. That was also found out with installing fog lights and navigation radio. Anyway, you need to tap into the dome light wiring to power the homelink. The dome light connector pin outs are on page 8W-80-29 of the manual. Pin 2 is ground and pin 4 is the fused B+. I made a paper template to cut out a hole in the header trim.

Before I followed through with cutting the opening in the header one of my 15 year old door opener motors died. I saw a great sales/deal on Sears top of the line units, so I decided to replace both of my openers. After I installed them I suspected there could be an issue with the rolling code technology of the new garage openers which I confirmed. The Homelink would not work with the new openers. The Homelink on my daily driver would not work either. There was no value in it, so I abandoned the Crossfire Homelink project.

I have been using a regular opener control I would have to lock in the center console when the top was down. I discovered that Sears openers are made by Lift Master. Last week I purchased a Lift Master one button thumb size remote control which I'm going to attach to the Crossfire key.

I think it's a worthwhile project, but make sure the Homelink works with your garage openers before doing it.

 

I have a two year old garage opener I purchased from Sears. Im told it has a rolling code technology and I have been able to program the Homelink in both of my Crossfires. Is it possible the technology has changed in the past 2 years?

 

What color program button do you have on the back of your opener? I have the purple button and antenna.

 

So how did ya do those sears openers ???? Ive been trying with my car but gave up !!!!

 

My button on the opener is red and the antenna appears to be light purple/gray. The remote has a blue/green button. Manufacture date is March '08. The label says it is made for Sears Canada. Could that be the difference?

 

After all the modding and changing I have done over the last 2 XFs, the homelink still goes unprogrammed (and not for lack of trying LOL)

 

I'm not sure if this helps anyone, see pizzaguys post #11 and others.

The remotes for my new Sears openers have black buttons. I expect the difference is why yours works and mine does not.

 

This helped me one time.
HomeLink; Home automation,Wireless control system, universal transceiver, RF control, Home security, smart home, vehicle to home, home automation, remote control lighting and home control
As if this is not complicated enough, Canadians have their own instructions. The first section that you select from has a Canadian option at the end. Use it or it will not work for you.

 

And I better edit that post... when I say to push the button until the opener flashes, I mean THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER FLASHES IT"S LAMP - the 100 watt bulb that lights up the garage!!!!

 

Did you edit it yet, Mark? I don't want to try this whole thing again just to find out a misinterpreted one of the steps

Thanks!

 

Yea, I did.

The "learn" procedure in the opener disables the door mechanism and uses the light as a way to telling you that the "handshake" is complete and that the opener and the XF Homelink have settled on their protocol. I was concerned that someone would think the "flash of the light" meant the light in the XF!

 

Just finished my Homelink install. I don't have access to the WD's so this is what i did. Pink wire in the homelink unit is 12v+,I think this would be pin #5, Center, pin #3 black wire is the ground. I used the hot lead,pin #4 from the dome lightto power the homelink, for the ground I ran a wire to a screw on the header because the ground for the dome light times out after a few minutes. Hope this helps anyone wanting to do this mod.

As for programing mine will operate my liftmaster, genie, and my bullldog gate openner.
