Homelink Transmitter
where is the homelink transmitter in our car? More specifically, where is the module that transmits the signal to open/close the garage, on/off exterior lights, etc. mine seems so weak that i have to be within 15ft or so of the unit before it responds to me pushing the button.
is there anyway to make the signal stronger?

I do have the Craftsman opener with rolling codes. There should have been additional info included with your owners manual on how to program your garage opener with or without rolling codes. Sorry, I don't remember the exact procedure but you need 2 people to program it correctly...one in the car to program the HomeLink and one outside to program the opener.

Mine is a Genie with rolling code technology. I was able to program the homelink button in my Max using the rolling code procedure, but it took three tries to get it done. (I think I was not following instructions exactly). I do have to hold down the button for several seconds to open either mine or my friend's (homelink button #2) garage door. In either case, the transmit range seems to be at least 200-300ft.

Just follow the walkthrough instructions for programming a standard garage door opener. Part way through the "wizard" you'll find a link that refers to programming rolling code openers. For some reason I always have to follow the steps completely two times. ??? I have a Genie Intellicode opener I bought in 1999. Hope this helps ...

Wow, I was wondering what the other 2 buttons were for. I didn't know you could program other appliances with that thing. Does anybody use the Homelink to activate anything else in your house? What do you have to do?

One of my buttons is tied in with an X10 controller that I have setup for lighting within the house.
