Issue with Homelink with ignition on.
Yes, I know I know this has been beat to death; and believe me my concern here is not what you might think it is. I've done quite a bit of searching, and can't quite find any posts that describe this particular problem.
By now I've memorized the set-up process...it's really quite simple. The issues I'm facing here are: 1. I'm unable to program anything while the car is actually on. Homelink lights turn on solid when pressed, and nothing happens even if I hold pressed....just solid on light. (No problem with key in Pos 1 or 2.) 2. After successfully programming with the key in Pos 2, garage door opens/closes just fine IF the car is off. However, if the engine is running, not so much. Hitting the homelink button with the car running yields a solid green light....no quick on/off to let you know it's working. Has anyone here encountered a similar issue? Is this a coding issue with the vehicle? FYI, garage door motor is rolling code, not linear...not sure that's relevant though. Thanks |

Wasnt quite sure if responses were meant as sarcasm. Lol. Was HomeLink a rare option on MZ4's? If this was retrofitted by previous owner, perhaps it was not wired to the proper fuse?
In any case, I suppose. I should try calling HL support and see what they've got to say. |

That's odd - I just bought my '06 Z4C a few months ago - it's got a "clown nose" rear view mirror (big red bulb thingy on the bottom - not sure what it is) and it has the Homelink buttons along the bottom edge of the mirror. Works great on the my gate. Is that not the correct mirror?

I retrofit a Homelink module to the panel under the climate control a couple of years back, and wired it to permanent power. The unit has nothing to do with coding in the car - it's an independent device. I have both a garage door opener and gate opener programmed, both work fine with the car on or off. They are both fixed code (not rolling code) devices.
