I bought double sided Velcro tape for $4 and stuck a regular garage door opener to the inside of the driver side door pocket. It’s invisible from all angles and I can quickly reach down and click it when approaching home. Easy and cheap.
I bought home link on eBay, it came with the necessary bolt, took bolt to ace hardware and bought same thread count and bolt size except 1/2 inch longer, and a nut to fit the bolt, superglued nut to front (hard to reach) spot set the mount onto bracket and screwed bolt in from front, took less than 10 minutes, hope this helps no need to reach around mount
😂..I put a white styrofoam cup upside down hanging like you did with the smiley ball. Love it. Great video btw. If viewers are wondering the setup for Homelink is so easy it's nuts. I've only used Homelink, but was curious about myQ. After a lot of research and reviews I decided to stay with Homelink. The installation on my 2024 Model 3 LR AWD requires the front bumper to come off...fyi everyone. Buy it from Tesla and the installation fee is included...just schedule it for mobile install...at home..and you're all set. It's that easy. It can be setup for full automation. I have a datached garage and a gate. That is why Homelink is best for me. myQ being Wi-Fi dependant and glitchy is not gona work for me.
I guess it’s a personal preference whether we want myQ and not to mess around with the car’s electric tho that plug is already there unconnected; thanks for the video showing exactly where it is. We just got our LR less than a week ago just realized there’s no HomeLink (as in my MS) but only myQ is available. Well, we just ordered the little garage door opener and the community gate opener, we are good to go, $15 total 😅
Mission accomplished! Took several trials on the linking up part but, I’m in. Thanks for the video. The hardest part was figuring out the cap removal 😂. There is a U shaped black hold in front and under the red tab that gets pulled back. Lift that up and over and boom. The flat head screwdriver method is a no go….for hours.
Homelink was a nice feature on my 2013 Model S. Cool to see how simple the installation is. I currently have MyQ it works very similarly to homelink. It works better with multiple Teslas because it knows the garage door position and won't try to open an already open garage.
I have MyQ as well but I refuse to pay a subscription just to link it to my Tesla. I just double velcro my garage opener behind my center screen instead. It's easy to reach & discrete, faster to operate. This homelink module is not a bad idea, but it costs $180. I'll just stick with my $2 velcro. 😂
Great video. Excellent camera work and lighting. The module has been out of stock at Tesla for awhile, so certainly a good and less expensive alternative. Install looks pretty simple. It's nice how much cleaner the frunk area is compared to under the hood of an ICE vehicle.
Maybe use other products that work just like myQ BUT have no fees. You have an app on your phone and use voice command to open or close your garage. Your phone can be in your pocket while driving and it will hear your voice to open garage
You pay for MyQ in the Tesla when you have free homelink? My family all have MyQ and share garage doors for free and can open from anywhere too without subscription. Did they start charging for that? I actually have a relay installed on my opener for my home automation system so I can open from my watch, phone, voice command, or my camera app (tiny cam pro) anywhere also (also for free).
If you have multiple teslas, it’s cheaper to do the 10 year subscription with My Q. Also, My Q knows if the garage door is open or not, Homelink will just send a signal which can be a PITA if the door is already open.
Well, the bracket is installed in the back, actually. The way you did it is more complex and doesn’t give any advantage on the signal. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Do Tesla need to activate the module? I hear some people had to ask a service tech to activate it in the past. Someone else said you may have issues programming a used one
I think it will over time. I see it on the tesla website for $350 and on ebay for around $200 as of today. Main reason I installed this as MyQ was really unreliable. It was hit or miss on opening the garage door.
I thought that when you bought the home link from Tesla the high price included them coming and installing it too? It comes delivered to you with a sealed box that only the tech is allowed to open?
Wow, i didn’t know that MyQ charges for their app currently I have the old Ryobi garage door opener. That currently starting to have issues. I been looking at different brands good to know.
MyQ is technically free using the mobile application directly however vehicle integration is what they make you subscribe for. So if you are setup with MyQ already aside from the vehicle you can open your garage door with the app. for free it's just not as seamless, I prefer the home link upgrade it's just a tight hand squeeze.
Great Video! I have a 2024 Y and when I tried to order homelink from Tesla is tells me I can't order it becasue it's not compatiable with my model Y? I went into my app and set up a sevice request and they said to order it first and then set up an appointment. I told them it will not let me order it becasue it's telling me it's not compatiable with the veichele in my account. I asked them to order it and they said they can't becasue it's telling them the same thing. I guess I'll order it and see if if works when I install it..
I installed HomeLink yesterday on my 2024 "Y" that I could not order from Tesla because the app said it's not compatible with my vehicle. Even chatting with the service agent from Tesla I was told it's not compatible and they would not let me order it. I came across this video and decided to order it on E-bay. I installed it yesterday in less than an hour and it works perfect.
There are three reasons I can think why they didn't do it: 1) 48V architecture - so unless HomeLink will design a 48V version of their module then it won't be made. 2) Metal body interferes with the signal - two potential spots I could think of is behind the front vents or another potential spot is to remove the rear-view mirror assembly and piggyback on the 12V (step down) for the auto-dimming feature. 3) Lastly, speaking of the 12V, it's not enough to simply power the HomeLink module. It needs to be able to communicate back to the MCU / Infotainment system to display the option(s) of either opening/closing the garage door - this would mean more wiring harness, step-down converter. Since Cybertruck is utilizing an ethernet link in comparison to CANBUS, there would be more effort required to from both Tesla and HomeLink to make it happen; my guess HomeLink didn't want to allocate resources when they already have subscribers paying for MyQ. The best compromise between Tesla and Customers would be to include MyQ subscription as part of their Premium Connectivity, especially now they don't have to pay their streaming partner any royalties and provide a 3-5% royalty to HomeLink instead. Then again, as the top commentator on this video just mentioned: Buy $4 Velcro, then slap it on somewhere convenient.
@@EMtesla1Excellent DIY project for those so inclined and as mentioned, the most changeling time consuming part is attaching that bracket however it's best to do it properly rather than Velcro or a zip tie etc. I am thinking in the factory this kind of installation is performed by a human installer prior to that body panel being installed so that the bracket installs in seconds. I love how you can activate or code new or replaced hardware directly through the service menu, with most other auto manufacturers they made you get a special external computer or bring it into a factory authorized shop. Well worth the time and effort and excellent video that doesn't skip over things.
@@EMtesla1Let's see, computer access, phone access and car access. Asus gaming router with WiFi connection 60 feet out from house.

You really think Homelink is better.🤦🏼♂️
Your instructions were so on point and helpful. I got it installed 3 months ago, BUT in June, TESLA made a software update restricting the "software installation" to those (like me) who bought the OEM adapter through eBay. Anyway, once I saw your video in my feed, I jumped to my MY, and I was able to complete the installation. This confirms TESLA is allowing the installation of the HomeLink module from other places (amazon, eBay, etc.). I bought mine for $115 brand new/ and sealed, so a good saving!. Thanks again for your video!
I have a MyQ compatible garage opener and pay nothing for MyQ. It just works when I added my user account. Never had an issue and opens and closes when I come home or leave.
@@EMtesla1 I was assuming that if inserting the 6mm screw from the opposite end to what you had shown then the bracket would just slip onto the protruding thread & could be secured with a washer nut? You’ve done it not me so just in theory. Can I confirm that once installed there is no free option & a subscription is compulsory to enable operation? Thanks from AUS.
if you want a better hack then that. buy a smart outlet and setup a homekit automation to automatically turn the smart outlet on when you get home. then set up another homekit automation to open the garage door when the smart outlet turns on.. now you have auto opening garage
There is app’s software installed on the phone, once U link with your home WiFi it will automatically connected but it will take a while to upload the link… but safe time to install the hardware on your car & it is no cost!
Yah, you can buy the correct one via Tesla for the new 2024 model 3. As it noted in my other comment, you will need to take the bumper off to access the connection on the passenger side.
After watching the TailwindIQ setup and function...no...no its not. TailwindIQ >myQ. Apples to Apples. Homelink is not wifi dependant or phone dependant. Compare apples to apples Michael. A simple google / youtube video search shows how the setup is complex for TailwindIQ and depends on certian factors to turn your garage opener into a smart garage. It will not be as smart as you think, go watch the videos. Having to "accept" terms and conditions in order to do anything is troubling to say the least, especially when all you want to do is open your garage door. Homelink is self contained and 100% compatible with any RF operated garage door. Add Tesla's UI and you have an automated door...its that simple. Not terms of use, not data sharing required, no 24/7 tracking via your phone( which is a battery drain btw).
@@EMtesla1yes, but not without extensive addons and additional equipment. If I was driving anything else...like a Honda...then TailwindIQ could simplify things. For a Tesla, no TailwindIQ is utter garbage.
@@williamgrunzweig571 i’ve been using it for a few years and battery drain isn’t a concern for me ,no subscriptions is a plus for me i’m just showing other options that are cheaper in the long run
MyQ cost $45.00 a year. If you lease your Tesla for 3 years you spend $135.00 for MyQ. Homelink costs from your eBay link $170.00 plus tax. For a person leasing their Tesla MyQ may be a much better choice and you don't have to take your car apart. BTW I use MyQ and pay the annual fee. My base model 3 2024 (Red/White) Highland is 15 days old. MyQ is uncannily accurate.
@@MrDksmall Yes. Either Wi-Fi is built into the garage door opener or you purchase a bridge from somebody to adapt the garage door to Wi-Fi. I would think most people with a Tesla also has a smart phone and it’s doubtful that these folks would have a garage door opener that’s not Wi-Fi enabled or at least easily done. But anyway, yes, Wi-Fi is required.
The main reason was not only the cost, but My Q sometimes worked and sometimes did not. We used the free trial and noticed when the tesla sent a ping to open the garage, it would sometimes miss. HomeLink has never failed us thus far. We also plan on keeping this car more than 3 years.
@@MrDksmall You can get the MyQ Hub for free. Sign up for MyQ account and then in Tesla, connect the account. You will then get an email offering a free hub and trial. All you pay is $1. I have used both MyQ and Homelink and the subscription fee of $45 a year is so worth it because it knows when your garage is open. Well worth it.
thank you! and umm I've had homelink in my model 3 for 5 years now. Once you get use to homelink , you want nothing to do with a clicker lol. The automation is amazing.
Huh wtf you talking about? MyQ doesn't cost me a single penny to have my Tesla automatically open and close my garage door. I can also open and close it at work if I wanted to.
@@EMtesla1 lol not like you’re not grabbing your phone every time you get in and out of the car anyway… you can literally set the garage door opening to be a voice command on iOS or a function thru IFTTT, at the least like you said just use the app. Thankfully I don’t need to open the garage every time I get home. I park in my driveway
I know, right. Start looking closely at the wheels of Teslas manufactured after Elon removed the ultrasonic sensors from the bumpers. In my area all the newer Teslas have serious curb rash on the rims. I too learned this lesson the hard way unfortunately. I have a MX with sensors and a MY without and I pity the fool that uses auto park on the MY. I assumed (incorrectly) that TeslaVision was as least as good as the sensors….it ain’t.

I use MYQ for remote operation at no charge and placed the home link in door pocket for convenient use.
I have had both for 6 years. I prefer the convenience of MyQ. I can open any one of my three garage doors for anyone from anywhere.
You pay for MyQ in the Tesla when you have free homelink? My family all have MyQ and share garage doors for free and can open from anywhere too without subscription. Did they start charging for that?
I actually have a relay installed on my opener for my home automation system so I can open from my watch, phone, voice command, or my camera app (tiny cam pro) anywhere also (also for free).
Good video. It’s an option for anyone that wants to purchase and install it. I think that is what matters.
I agree that this module is needed... At my house I have essentially no AT&T service so MyQ wouldn't work if I subscribed.
If you have multiple teslas, it’s cheaper to do the 10 year subscription with My Q. Also, My Q knows if the garage door is open or not, Homelink will just send a signal which can be a PITA if the door is already open.
This may be a welcome addition to those of us with MyQ driveway gates that MyQ wont support in vehicles
Just screw from the visible side works the same
Yes, you could do this... I just wanted it correctly installed per the tesla manual.
Well, the bracket is installed in the back, actually. The way you did it is more complex and doesn’t give any advantage on the signal.

Do Tesla need to activate the module? I hear some people had to ask a service tech to activate it in the past. Someone else said you may have issues programming a used one
Mine was used with no problems. The car programs it for you after you plug it in under the service menu.
Thank goodness I use Home Assistant with a few animations to save me all this headache.

For a person leasing their Tesla MyQ may be a much better choice and you don't have to take your car apart. BTW I use MyQ and pay the annual fee. My base model 3 2024 (Red/White) Highland is 15 days old. MyQ is uncannily accurate.
Doesn’t MyQ require a Wi-Fi compatible garage door opener?
@@MrDksmall Yes. Either Wi-Fi is built into the garage door opener or you purchase a bridge from somebody to adapt the garage door to Wi-Fi. I would think most people with a Tesla also has a smart phone and it’s doubtful that these folks would have a garage door opener that’s not Wi-Fi enabled or at least easily done. But anyway, yes, Wi-Fi is required.
@@theodorehartman5086 My opener is 33 years old 😄 But I would get a Wi-Fi box if I go down this path (or a new opener)
The main reason was not only the cost, but My Q sometimes worked and sometimes did not. We used the free trial and noticed when the tesla sent a ping to open the garage, it would sometimes miss. HomeLink has never failed us thus far. We also plan on keeping this car more than 3 years.
@@MrDksmall You can get the MyQ Hub for free. Sign up for MyQ account and then in Tesla, connect the account. You will then get an email offering a free hub and trial. All you pay is $1. I have used both MyQ and Homelink and the subscription fee of $45 a year is so worth it because it knows when your garage is open. Well worth it.
Subscribe? Ripoff! My 2018 TM3 came with HL pre-installed and requires no subscription.
Good video but... Im scratching my head on this one. All these because you canr press a button on a clicker????? Why?
thank you! and umm I've had homelink in my model 3 for 5 years now. Once you get use to homelink , you want nothing to do with a clicker lol. The automation is amazing.
@@EMtesla1 it's a cool mode but, it takes me 1 sec to press the button, and it's free. To each their own. Thanks for responding.
@@rizocars6115 THeft
Huh wtf you talking about? MyQ doesn't cost me a single penny to have my Tesla automatically open and close my garage door. I can also open and close it at work if I wanted to.
Probably be easier to just open your garage door with your hands
😂
It’s $200.00 I’ll be ok with a $25.00 garage door opener.
To each their own.
$200 is crazy to open your garage door when you can do it in your phone for free…
Enjoy using your phone every time you pull up to the garage door.
@@EMtesla1 lol not like you’re not grabbing your phone every time you get in and out of the car anyway… you can literally set the garage door opening to be a voice command on iOS or a function thru IFTTT, at the least like you said just use the app. Thankfully I don’t need to open the garage every time I get home. I park in my driveway
@@Danjr704 whichever makes you happy!
Zip Tie nation…
No thanks
Super glue or Velcro.😂🤣😂🤣
Enjoy the glue !
Dude, just secure it with Zip ties.😂😂
you are more than welcome to do that... yes
Why am I watching this, I have a model X.
That is s.h.i design
that "frunk" is so stupied, designed, how thinks a slippery compartment is a good idear, Does Musk, or is he simply forget what quality is..
Main reason I won’t buy a Tesla because Elon is so cheap. No reason home-link is not preinstalled. 🙄
I know, right. Start looking closely at the wheels of Teslas manufactured after Elon removed the ultrasonic sensors from the bumpers. In my area all the newer Teslas have serious curb rash on the rims. I too learned this lesson the hard way unfortunately. I have a MX with sensors and a MY without and I pity the fool that uses auto park on the MY. I assumed (incorrectly) that TeslaVision was as least as good as the sensors….it ain’t.
A very specific reason. MY and M3 are the most affordable EVs in the world and the way they achieve that is by eliminating extra costs...
Buy a real car with Homelink for free
lol the trolls are out now!
