Hello,
A few months ago I posted a thread looking for help on this forum since I could not get Homelink to pair with my Hormann remote
(Hormann is a well known garage door brand in Europe).
A lot of people suggested advice (thanks a lot to all helpers) but unfortunately, nothing worked.
As i kept trying, I found the solution (for me at least) .
I am posting it as a new thread since I think it can help other people, not only specifically Normann door owners.
So, now the solution :
The main thing is that Tesla manual instruct to point the remote directly to the frunk.
But actually, reading the instruction manual of my remote, two remotes must be set side by side when in pairing mode.
Therefore, I tried to present the remote against the front (20 cm to the left of the Tesla sign) NOT FRONTLY, BUT ON THE SIDE, (so say the left side of the remote is applied against the front of the car), and it worked on first attempt.
And for me, I immediately switched from totally mad to total zenitude.
I would really recommend Tesla Motors to update their manual to suggest the side remote pointing method when the front pointing method does not work.
Also, two other very important things.
- Battery of the remote must be brand new. I have the feeling the car has a not-so-good reception of the pairing signal, and is a bit hearing impaired.
- On the Hormann remote (at least), there is a red light showing when the remote is emitting. After 20 seconds, the red light goes off. But I found out (if i am correct) that the emission continues when light goes off - so keep pushing if needed.
Well this worked for me.
I hope it can help somebody else (what a relief when everything is ok, isn't it ?)
