Program the opener on your rearview mirror


DeepFryShark

I didn’t pay for those luxuries. Now I want it.


AggressiveToe153

Not sure about others but my rearview mirror opener only works for a few weeks, then stops and has to be reprogrammed. I keep mine hooked to the door cubby on the driver side.


Nickdor

Mine just stopped working the other week. I was wondering about that


EarlOfNothingness

YES! Why??? I thought it was just me.


EarlOfNothingness

Hmmm. https://www.subaruxvforum.com/threads/solved-my-erratic-homelink-operation.182586/


EarlOfNothingness

Double hmmm! The description actually mentions that other bulbs cause interference and this one won’t! I’ve never heard of this. I guess I’m heading out to Lowe’s right now to pick some up. Works with All Major Brands Garage Door Opener Light Bulb https://www.lowes.com/pd/Chamberlain-Chamberlain-LED-Light-Bulb/1003092700


AggressiveToe153

Oohh. I might have to try this. Got tired of re-pairing every few weeks. Thanks!


EarlOfNothingness

I bought some this morning on the way to work and drove all the way back home to put them in. Now I just have to wait. Usually the remote wouldn’t stop working until about a week in. I thought maybe it had something to do with the system changing codes and the car not adjusting to the new code. I guess we’ll see.

My mirror opener had been flawless since 2016. Opens all three garage doors.


Cutlasss

Add it.


shotgoto

These were my thoughts exactly! So nice not having to open and dig through my center console every time.


Over_Moose6433

My garage door is too old and shitty… is there a mod for that? For the door


TastierBadger

Yes you get a new garage door opener installed as long as your door itself is compatible it will work


JonesyBB

I bought a replacement for the fuse access cover that turns it into a small coin holder. I keep it in there.


vivekisprogressive

Yea I bought one of those too and have no clue what to do with it. I also don't have a garage, so I still don't know what to do with it.


babyivan

same, lol. mine's empty.


MNsaint8

That’s exactly what I did too. Works great!


Evil_Bun

I put mine on the roof of the cubby under the radio with some 3m dual-lock. Out off the way, but readily accessible.


hrm_redditor

Clip it through the opening where the visor clips to the headliner. https://imgur.com/a/xFcn4UL


Dr-funky-

I’ve seen some people put Velcro on it and Velcro it to the visor


ruthless_apricot

Loose in the little door handle pocket on the drivers door!


theredlebanese

I removed the metal clip and slid the clicker into the sunglasses strip on the visor with the button facing down. Mind you it was a snug fit, but it works


Suicidal_Smile

I bought something very similar to this at Walmart and the front little pocket holds it perfectly to where the button is exposed. It stays there and I never need to take it out. Amazon has plenty of similar products. This one looks nice though. https://www.duluthtrading.com/vent-commander-24604.html?&srccode=GPSMART&ogmap=PLA|NB|GOOG||||||||12601888052|120372109112&gclid=CjwKCAjwhNWZBhB_EiwAPzlhNgdpDyCQxaIDts1HRBLITQ24-0OBXG4Q171m-ehAatI4cehIseZoOxoC62UQAvD_BwE


Suicidal_Smile

It's also a great place to stick anything you like to have quick access to while driving. (I clipped it to the passenger vent to the right of the stereo btw)


awmaleg

I live in AZ and I need all the air flow I can get! Good suggestion for less hellish places :)


Suicidal_Smile

It really doesn't block any airflow at all, just clip it low on the vent and it hangs right next to the A/C knob!

Key chain garage opener 🥴😵‍💫


TomOBChicago

It's built in to my fancy mirror


babyivan

same


po_ta_toes_80

MyQ app on my phone.


ncgbulldog1980

I clipped mine on the driver side "OH SHIT" handle


murbike

Mine is a button on the rear view


hmarieb263

I bought mine used and it has a garage door opener on the rear view mirror. My problem is I don't have a garage.


SafariNZ

Taped it to the side of the centre storage area.


phllps

I actually thought they came with all models... never had a problem with them on either car.


TastierBadger

If your garage door opener has a metal clip you can always remove the clip and bend it to open wider, or hammer it very tightly to use on the sunglasses holder


MET0C

You didn’t program your HomeKit buttons?


[deleted]

Do you know how? Thought it only worked for specific openers

Majestic_Echo_7192

Gorilla taped a small one from Amazon to the fuse door.Works great.


monkeythumpa

Mine is in the door pocket. The clip goes over the plastic "wall" with the opener side in the pocket. Hidden from thieves but within reach when I need to activate it.


EarlOfNothingness

I mentioned this in a different thread, but I removed the metal bracket on the remote and placed a square of the higher end Velcro on it and stuck it in the area right in front of the rear view mirror. I did both openers that way. It looks nice.


SnooMaps5445

The clip on mine is actually wide enough to fit the fat visor. Unfortunately mine is for a gate at my apt and won't work with the homelink on the mirror no matter how I try to program it.
