I just figured out tonight how to get the homelink on my ES to work my Chamberlain garage door opener. It was so simple. I tried to do it like over a year ago, but could't figure it out after like 5 tries and gave up.

All I did was followed the instructions in the manual and then hit the learn button on my opener, then hit the button that I wanted to program in my car and voila, it works.

Anybody else using the homelink in their ES?

yes!! i love it lol mine was more of a pain...

i had to get on a ladder and press a button on the back rusn back to the car and do the whole sequence in the car.. lol

I don't have homelink in my car I gather. How would I know if I did?

There would be buttons on the drivers sun visor.

mmatheny

yeah - use mine all the time! My 98 Infiniti i30 had it also.

i have homelink but dont have a garage! Can i program it to do something else, like turn the coffee maker on? lol

mmatheny

Actually, yes! It can be used with the X10 systems also!

i set up my moms 00 es3 but cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong on mine same car, might sound stupid but is it possible that there is to many programs sync'd to the garage opener? because theres 2 or 3 remotes and theres 2 cars but cant figure out how to do mine

Clear out all the codes and start over - I had to do that with my Lexie.

I am big into X10 - sit on my *** and control all my lights and fan! I need to set up a RX to be able to turn on the outside light when I come home at night and forgot to turn it on before I left.
Got my first system at a garage sale - just recently, got a butt load of switches and receivers at a resale shop for about $1 each! Check eBay. You can buy a special module to control your ceiling fans. There are even systems to dim florescent lights.

cool. the coffemaker thing was a joke, but im really curious about other possibilities. i live in the apartment and now i need to figure out if there is something really useful i could do with x10...

Wow...I learned something new again.

HYPERBOY

mee to!!! i think its freakin awsome!

i want one!!!

i didnt need it till now lmao

Range could be an issue - also, I have found that certain things plugged into an outlet on the same leg as the receiver (even when it is not turned on) can cause interference with the powerline signal.
