RESOLVED Trouble Programming Homelink

Yeah tell me about it - guess I should've come on the board sooner...

This is why I always caution people to not generalize and say “Lucid is going to fail” when indeed they have a solvable problem.
 
Glad it wasn't software. :)
 
New here. Car just 2 days old. Frustrated with several software issues and the Homelink was one of them. Out of frustration I did the software soft reset. I was able to get the programming done. But I am still having issues with the Homelink. According the the manual when you get within 130’ of the garage your door is suppose to open. Twice around the block and still haven’t opened. Have to press the Homelink icon to close the door but having it open automatically would be nice. Has anyone have the same problem? Also the Homelink icon shows up on my wife’s profile but not the garage door that is programmed on mine. Very frustrating.

The car does not auto-open your garage door. It does auto-present the Homelink soft button when you are close to home.
You have to program your garage door separately in both your profile and your wife's.

Thanks DeaneG, The wording about it I guess had me confused. But the presenting didn’t happen either. I always say software engineers are the smartest dumbest people on the planet. So the Homelink, needs to be programmed for both profiles, but the Sirius XM favorite channels span across both mine and my wife’s profile. Too bad they didn’t do that opposite. One car, one garage but two different tastes in music. Pet peeve I guess. Don’t get me started on the cup holders!
 
My homelink wouldn't connect to the door opener after trying over the weekend and yesterday, and then I decided to give it one more try today and it connected instantly.

It helps to position the nose of the car as close as possible to directly under the opener. To do this, I had to pull my opener's emergency release latch to be able to program my opener without closing the door on the car.

The reason for this is that the garage door opener massively reduces its receiver sensitivity while in learn mode. This is done to make sure that the opener can only be taught the intended code, not your neighbor's when they open their garage door while yours is in learn mode.

Many times this step will work with the car several feet away from the opener, depending on details of hardware and luck. But It didn't work for my Air, nor for my brother in law's Macan. In both cases I had to use the opener's emergency release and position the nose of the car directly under the opener. This worked perfectly on first try.

Odd, I positioned mine about 200 feet away so the menu would pop open and I could have the door open by the time I got there. No problem with that.

I did mine about 25 feet away.

You taught your opener to listen to the car's Homelink from 200 feet away?? Or just set your Home GPS location 200 feet away?
My opener wouldn't learn with the car 15 feet away.

Mine didn’t present for the longest time and I just manually did everything. Then my navigation failed. When Lucid replaced the antennae/receiver, or something like that, that fixed the nav and the HomeLink, too.

Yes no issue.
 
When I picked up the car, I had no success getting the car to recognize the remote…ie…lights flashing when pressing the appropriate button on the remote by the L…car screen saying no signal detected…then I used my wife’s remote…she had the original remote that came with the opener…I was using Amazon replacements that I programmed with the original…when I used her remote…lights flashed…car recognizes…learns…all functions available…hope this helps…
 
I also had trouble programming the HomeLink. The instructions say park the car outside in front of the garage door. After a half-dozen tries, no joy.

Then I moved the Lucid Air into the garage. That worked. I'm just hoping this helps others having difficulty with HomeLink.
 
2025 AT owner here with HomeLink troubles with LiftMaster/MyQ. Here's how I got it working after over 10+ attempts both from inside and outside garage:
New battery in remote
Parked car in garage (lucky to have learn button on wall mounted garage switch)
Garage door opening recorded from remote, closed garage door from wall switch, set learn mode and attempted from car and it worked

Something new - had to program only once as the it showed up in both driver profiles (I'm still on 2.5.4 version). Looks like car is now tying it only to location!

Right, that was changed in 2.4.0. Set up Homelink using the owner profile, and controls will show up on all profiles.

The soft reset worked for me as well. Just picked up my 2024 Lucid Air and happy to see this trick still worked 👍
