It works well, aside from the Homelink programming. There seems to be mixed info on what should be compatible, so I just want to confirm before I move on to another product.
I can program the TX-134 remotes to the receiver without issue. I can program the TX-134 remotes to the Homelink (seemingly) without issue. But I can’t program the Homelink buttons to the receiver. Not sure if there is a difference in process, or if it’s an expected incompatibility. I have tried 2 cars, both 2022 model years, though I’m not 100% what version of Homelink they have.
Process:
• pair TX-134 to 202U
• reset Homelink in vehicle
• pair TX-134 to Homelink button in vehicle
• set pair mode on 202U, press Homelink button (rapidly, slowly, tried all types of patterns)… never registers
In theory, the full programming step should be as follows.
Training HomeLink™ Unit in Car
Verify the HomeLink™ unit has an empty channel – press the desired
HomeLink™ button and observe the LED – if it flashes slowly, the channel
is empty and ready for programming. If pressing the desired channel/button
causes the LED to blink rapidly, or come on without blinking this channel is
already programmed. You either need to choose a different channel/button on the
HomeLink™, or perform Step 2 below.
OPTIONAL – To completely clear all channels on the HomeLink™ unit,
press and hold the two outside buttons on the HomeLink™ unit until the
HomeLink™ LED light begins to flash rapidly (approx. 20 seconds), then release
both buttons. (Do not perform this step to train additional hand-held transmitters.)
Note: This operation erases all previously learned transmitters and you will need
to re-teach any other transmitters to your HomeLink™ unit.
Hold the end of the TX-134 hand-held transmitter approximately 1 to 3 inches away from the HomeLink™ surface – keeping the HomeLink™ LED light in view.
Press and hold the desired HomeLink™ channel/button – LED should flash
slowly (indicating empty channel). Continue holding the HomeLink™ button,
and press and hold the desired button on the TX-134 transmitter for
approximately 3-5 seconds. The HomeLink™ LED should now blink rapidly,
indicating a successful learn operation. Release both buttons, and proceed to step 5 below.
Teaching HomeLink™ to the 202U Unit
Press the program button on the 202U receiver until PRG led turns on
Note: The 202U will remain in the learn mode for 30 seconds.
Press the HomeLink™ button used in Step 4 above for 1 to 3 seconds. The 202U’s PRG led should flash quickly to indicate a successful learn.
Press the HomeLink™ button once more to operate the 202U receiver.
Yep, the HomeLink button flashes quickly. The problem seems to be in the “Teaching HomeLink to the 202U Unit” step. I don’t think the 202U stays in the learn mode for 30 seconds… seems more like 10 or 15? The 202U unit will learn, because I’ve programmed/reprogrammed the TX-134 remote several times.
Another thing I’ve noticed, is that if I program the TX-134 to the 202U once… Program button, solid light, press remote button, rapid flashing… it works fine. If I repeat that process again, the light on the 202U flashes slowly and then the remote doesn’t seem to work anymore? Is that a process to erase the code?
When trying to program the HomeLink button, I don’t get any response from the 202U, slow flashing or fast flashing (obviously)… the program light just turns off after about 15 seconds.
