Haha most definitely. I will keep that in mind for the next one

The way I screwed it last time was on the wrong side which probably just created new threads. I made this video in an effort to show the actual location.

Awesome to hear. Yeah I have giant hulk hands

So this was previously done with 2022 model Y. Not sure where I saw it but I know it's been done before. You'd need to verify that nothing has changed with the module housing

You do not have to pay any subscriptions when you install the home link. You do have to pay for a subscription for the MyQ option which is a terrible replacement. I will check into Tesla blocking it

@@cybslounge thank you soooo much for your follow up!! Truly appreciate you! Great video!!

It is blocked

Woah. I wonder what changed. Thanks for the heads up

@@cybslounge anyone try it? I just ordered n ebay , hope i didnt waste the $

Good luck! Definitely worth it

I assure you it is very secure and snug. I couldn't bolt it with it facing backwards if you watched my previous video. This video was in part to advise people on the proper mounting position as the title states. I chose to zip tie it but you don't have to. What exactly is "not cool"?

Update: I took it to the local service center, and they replaced the entire center console. Its fixed and makes sense. Light only turns on when I slide open the lid any amount. Light turns off when lid is closed.

Awesome! They mentioned they changed how it worked with the new rev. Glad to hear it's working for you. I may need to reach out again to see if they'll change it for me haha

True. Also, sometimes even with the lock released, it still might be tight. You need a small flathead screwdriver to wedge it gently under the lock clip (on the plug) and lock (on the protector). Lift the lock clip up slightly and pull on the plug to easily remove the plug.

Yep that's what happened to me. I had to use a flathead to release it

Great info on the bolt. What I mentioned in the video was what we figured out in forums

You're correct! I made another video with a pinned comment pointing that out. I believe the homelink has a bidirectional antenna so it actually doesn't matter where it faces. I tested it facing the wrong direction and it functioned just fine

It doesn't matter which direction it faces. Technically, depending on if you back your car in or drive head on into the garage, the door still opens. I have it installed this way (I tried getting it on the right way but I couldn't get the screw to stay there and couldn't get my wrench in there) and have zero issues. Works every time.

Awesome! Definitely remove it!

Yes you can! There should be an option in there to add a second garage/home

Haha don't know why but she knows she is! Thanks for watching!

What is it then?

@@cybslounge a lighter

Ok. Thanks for sharing 👍🏿

Three atmospheric torches and three vacuum variants...

K

Unfortunately it is haha

Woops link in the description. Thanks for asking

I appreciate your comment! That's what I was going for.

I would have to take off the front fascia to screw it. I may have been able to do it with a specific tool but the zip tie was too simple to avoid haha

​@cybslounge you can't screw it in from the side you put the zip tie through ?

Thank you for the sub! Much appreciated

Huh that's interesting. I wonder what may be keeping yours from communicating with your car. Are you able to pause the music from your phone?

Glad it helped!

Absolutely would buy them again. The reason I did more work than usual is because I left them dirty for a few months. I also have a ceramic coating on them so it makes it easier to wipe off dirt. But most importantly, they're gorgeous 😍

The benefit to HomeLink is that it provides a way better experience than the MyQ system does. The HomeLink system is RF based. The MyQ system is Network based. The benefit to the RF based homelink is that it acts just like your garage remote would. It doesn't require any form of handshake sequences between the car and the garage door controller. You can also find the HomeLink module online for $100 -$170. The Handshake becomes the annoying part of the MyQ system for me. Since MyQ didn't change how the car talks to the Garage, it acts pretty much as how your phone does. In order for the garage door to close after you click "close", it will flash the light for 10 seconds(iirc) with a beeping noice before closing the door. What's interesting is that it doesn't take as long for opening it. There are other limitations to the MyQ also but i will keep it short. The HomeLink setup avoids a subscription service and provides a smoother experience. I don't know if the MyQ has this feature but you also get a button on the Tesla app to open and close your garage door. Hope i was able to answer your question. Thanks for watching!

Screw MyQ and LiftMaster for that scam of a service.

@@cybslounge Belated thanks for your explanation. Does the Homelink option let you automatically open the garage door when you approach?

@@randylyon7259 Yes HomeLink will auto open and close as you approach and leave. The closing side of it will only work about 90% of the time though. Once in a while it seems to self cancel the process

Nice find! Glad my video helped you

Duly noted! Thanks for watching. Added it!

Yep an included $150 labor

Thank you for your contribution. It is an option and not a requirement. Just like your opinion could have been added to the conversation as option and not a requirement. If you think it's so "tard", then simply move on.

@@cybslounge thanks for offering the ability to move on to the original poster. I appreciate your video. I've had my 24 MY for about two weeks. Already had MyQ installed on my doors, but looking at the homelink option.

Haha. MyQ is a joke with how bad it handles opening and closing the Garage. I need to do a video on comparing the two. Their Home Assistant support is also subpar.

I’ve been using myq on my phone for about a year with no issues. Just got my car and am still in the trial and it works flawlessly as well. Wonder why it’s free on the phone but cuts in the car.

I'm in the MyQ trial and auto open has always worked so far. I didn't realize it had auto close and frankly would not trust that to find out close never happened. I guess my fault for not knowing about auto close but it locked my electrician out of the garage while he was installing my charger. I went on an errand and did not manually close the door because he would be going in and out. But the door auto closed locking him out with his tools, etc, inside the garage, I was able top remotely open the door for him but not good. If I stay with MyQ, there better be a way to auto open but not auto close. If auto open fails, I can at least see that. If Auto close failed I'd drive away thinking the door was closed.

You can either get it from Tesla for about $250 or on eBay at a discount. You have to do a parts order if you do order it from Tesla

Woah awesome! Glad to hear you found the video useful. My first car was the model 3. It's still my favorite Tesla out of all the ones I've owned. You're gonna love it! Thanks for using my referral!
