Can I move HomeLink from one Tesla to another? (not anymore)

- Chris is too cheap to buy another HomeLink module for his new Tesla Model Y. So he thinks he can move it from his old car to the new one.
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Please read the comments! Since this video was published, it seems this approach may not work anymore.

Probably one of the most useful videos I've viewed in a while. Thanks
I appreciate that, but hold on a minute because I’ve been told you can’t do this anymore.
Thanks for doing this. I just ordered a HomeLink off of eBay for my 2023 MYP. I will be self installing.
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
🤣🤣 Parked next to a bus. Thank you for another informative video Chris!
My pleasure!
Extra thumb up. You answered a ton of questions all in one helpful video.
I’m glad it was helpful, but I’ve heard this won’t work on the 2024 software.
Good morning “(being the cheep F..k that I am)” lol an I quote… lol so funny but you are very smart
Truer words were never spoken.
@@handydadtv lol my ears 👂have wax lol lol
I'm always parked next to a semi... gives me little confidence in FSD's future.
So true
Great video. I sometimes park my M3 next to a similar phantom vehicle in my garage, but it's a semi-truck. 😄
Very creative AI.
I still don’t see the value of buying this vs the homelink unit. If you’re paying $45 year it would take apps 6 years no?
In fairness, you can buy a 10-year subscription to MyQ for $299, which is cheaper than HomeLink. But that’ll only work for your door. HomeLink can remember 3 remotes.
bolt is a external torx plus ep socket ep10 is the size---DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY MADE IT SO HARD TO GET TO!! flex headed ratchet helped greatly
Thanks
@@handydadtv daughter picked up new RED y today and your video worked perfectly!!! BIG thanks
I don't own a Tesla but a question for others... Do you have to go into Service mode and disable Homelink on the donor vehicle before/after removal (e.g. to prevent an error message because it cant find the module)?
I didn’t see an option to de-install HomeLink.
Nice video.
I just picked up my Y today and was surprised it did not have homelink. When I look at the tesla store it says homelink is not compatible. I have a September 2023 LRMY built in Fremont.
When was your car built?
It seems I will have to take out the frunk to see if the port exists or if the removed it before I look on eBay.
Thanks
Mine was built in Fremont in July.
FYI - I was able to uninstall the software after removing the homelink module. Just go into the service menu and run the homelink retrofit and it will uninstall the software.
Thanks for the tip!
Do you think it's possible to transfer my HomeLink from a Model Y to a Model X?
I don’t know. You’ll need to research that.
Do you have any error messages on the old vehicle after you removed the homelink module?
I didn’t keep it very long, but I didn’t see any error messages. That’s one of the advantages of selling to a reseller like Driveway or Carvana. Let them deal with it.
I'm in australia and only just learned of this module. Aside from ordering it through the service call is there another way to get your hands on the module?
I’m told you can’t use secondhand modules anymore. You can only have them installed by Tesla.
@@handydadtv damn!
Do you have to undo/disable software in the old car?
I couldn’t find an option to de-install the HomeLink from the old car.
I was about to do the swap, but I am glad I read the comments first. Looks like I'll be forking out another wad of folding stuff to Tesla when my new LR arrives. Grrr!
Glad you read the comments!
Are you getting a new Model 3?
I think the comments are correct they have made it so you can’t reprogram.
Dang
What do you mean?
Keep buying those tesla's. I don't want one but I do own tesla stick😅
Glad I could help. 👍🏻
I went through all the steps, moved my module from my 21 MYLR to my 24 MYLR, went into service mode on new car, when trying to enable the homelink, i get the message
“Failed to update Homelink Configuration”
Retried several times, but no different.
Any ideas?
Someone previously commented that the newest software may not allow self-installation.
@@handydadtv Same problem here. 2024 MYP 2024.2.7. Tesla Service responded to me that homelink cannot be moved from one vehicle to another. Other forums online said that the service center helped them with the issue so it would be nice if I could find a friendlier service center. The only reason I went through the swap myself was because they show not available from Tesla and then I found this video. Very frustrating.
@slackerUH Thanks for confirming.
@@slackerUH I am M3 2024.3.25
@@slackerUH We have a M3 SR 2021 with v11.1(2024.8.9) with the 3 channel Homelink still works. As stated below my M3 LR 2024 does not work but we need 3 channels thus MyQ does Not satisfy our needs.
Classic car company move… make it obnoxious to install/uninstall so most people will just pay…
It was hard for Mobile Service to install when the car was new. Clearly it was designed to be installed on the assembly line before the bumper went on, but it must have been a cost optimization.
This hardware install can take about 20 minutes or less. It’s not hard at all.
MyQ is free with the app
It’s also free to keep your garage door remote on your visor. But I’m talking about connecting your MyQ to the car.
I heard from other Tesla owners that have the 2024.xx.xx software installed that they no longer can self install the home link module. I just bought a homelink module from eBay and installed it in my 2023 model Y still running 2023.xx.xx software and it is working fine. Just worried that after a software upgrade it no longer will??! Hopefully it does. Time will tell. All I know is that if you are running 2024 software and install the module yourself it won't work
I’m running 2024.2.2.1 and HomeLink works perfectly.
I just got my 2024 Y last week and can confirm that it does NOT work. You get an error on the screen that it needs to be debugged. Tesla service replied that I can not move it from my old Y to this new one
@@chriswelz2761 I changed the Homelink module from a M3 2021 to a M3 2024 Highland and it does not load!
@@billhunsinger862 how did you fix it? Did you have to take it in to service? Or did you just uninstall it?
@@mbarker631 I sent a service request in they came back with a $267.00 estimate. I declined it and have not followed up yet.
