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.

[@gluedmynuts]

Exactly

[@kevinhansen81]

Me too

[@hansferjuste4945]

Same here.

[@CanonDIIV]

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!

[@JUSTENization]

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 😅

[@Kenya15355]

I would like this for the cybertruck

[@AlenMajetic]

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

[@babyUFO.]

no way in hell i will subscribe to a garage door opener when its free

[@williamgrunzweig571]

😂..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.

[@bluenycom]

Installed in our 2023 M3P. Mounting location is a bit different and less room in M3 as expected. The part and setting up are the same.

[@vvattup]

Subscribe? Ripoff! My 2018 TM3 came with HL pre-installed and requires no subscription.

[@rickslife]

Great video! Homelink is the way to go.

[@babyUFO.]

bwahahaha There truly is a sucker born every minute

[@formytots0128]

Thanks for posting. Very informative. :)

[@bigdougscommentary5719]

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.

[@javierjavierman]

Thank You. Excellent tutorial. Regards

[@Hiwinders]

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.

[@capt.brandonwade384]

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.

[@danasion4349]

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.

[@tpdtopcop2010]

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately the Tesla homelink price needs to come down quit a bit to really be worth it.

[@EMtesla1]

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.

[@RayNLA]

Tesla used to sell it for $300 when I got mine in 2019

[@tpdtopcop2010]

@@EMtesla1 Hope so. Thanks for video.

[@lenimbery7038]

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?

[@lashlarue59]

I wish he had showed the actual setup with the garage door opener also.

[@EMtesla1]

it's a step by step prompt you can read from the tesla screen. Almost idiot proof.

[@gust9464]

Does it fit on the 2024 M3 Highland?

[@EMtesla1]

Looking at other videos, it appears this will work, however, the cord is in a different location on the 2024 model 3. Also the bracket is different.

[@williamgrunzweig571]

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.

[@foose212]

Was that a new or used module?

[@fredrosales2342]

Will this work for a 2022 model 3? Thanks

[@EMtesla1]

Yes it will

[@venelog22]

Couldn't you have put the screw in from the opposite side?

[@EMtesla1]

The bracket does not have a screw hole only in the front bumper portion. If you did this, you would need a washer nut for the other side regardless.

[@peterhofland1862]

@@EMtesla1fitting a washer nut would be easier & save 25 mins probably.

[@EMtesla1]

@@peterhofland1862 that’s three pieces you have to hold at once instead of two, but ok try it out!

[@peterhofland1862]

@@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.

[@Qnar9]

I tried this with mine months ago. It didnt work because tesla blocked the retrofit. Is this working again? What update are you on?

[@anitricks]

In the video on the service screen it’s says 2042.32.2

[@googleuser4434]

I have the exact same question. It was blocked for me on a 23 mY. Tried about 1 year ago

[@googleuser4434]

Teslamotorsclub confirms that this install is feasible with 2023 or 2024.20.x software by yourself. Anything in between doesn't work

[@tamkien79]

Will this work with version 2024.32.3 for model 3?

[@gabeohyeah9357]

Garage opener is free, why so many trouble

[@svcodemonkey]

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.

[@raaah]

How much is the module? And we'll test the seller to you?

[@fparent]

I read somewhere that it's not possible to transfer a home link module on a newer Tesla models i.e. 2024 forward.

[@EMtesla1]

Well, it works in this case!

[@hqs9585]

excellent video thanks

[@robturner724]

I watched this but I have a question. What is home link?

[@EMtesla1]

A garage door opener that auto connects to your tesla.

[@Ughthisagain]

Is this the same in 2021 models as far as plug and wire locations?

[@EMtesla1]

My 2018 model 3 is. I don't see why it would be different.

[@elgs1980]

After watching this video, I am happy with myQ.

[@EMtesla1]

Enjoy yet another subscription fee!

[@danasion4349]

​@@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.

[@TATDC66]

​​@@EMtesla1Let's see, computer access, phone access and car access. Asus gaming router with WiFi connection 60 feet out from house. No glitch, no spotty connection, door closes after 5 get off pulling onto the street, opens 20 feet from driveway and for fully opened before backing onto driveway. Alerts instantly when door open or closed. If door open when coming home door stays open, doesn't close vice versa. 5 minute install and set up. 3 years for $75 for $135,000 car. You really think Homelink is better.🤦🏼‍♂️

[@theodorehartman5086]

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]

Doesn’t MyQ require a Wi-Fi compatible garage door opener?

[@theodorehartman5086]

@@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.

[@MrDksmall]

@@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)

[@EMtesla1]

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.

[@provoking3449]

@@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.

[@rizocars6115]

Good video but... Im scratching my head on this one. All these because you canr press a button on a clicker????? Why?

[@EMtesla1]

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.

[@rizocars6115]

@@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.

[@kubismatik2]

With Homelink installed, can you send your Tesla to park itself and it would open the garage door, drive in and close it again?

[@danasion4349]

That sure would be awesome 👍

[@Hcwolohon]

Does the cybertruck have this plug any idea?

[@EMtesla1]

Great Question! I would assume so, but I do not know if this homelink adapter is the right model number for the cybertruck.

[@MIchaelMiranda77]

Tailwind IQ > homelink

[@EMtesla1]

Interesting, does this auto open/close your garage on approach from your tesla?

[@MIchaelMiranda77]

yes way better than myQ you need a gps puck (iphones) androids don’t need it, that you can move to any cars and they don't need a subscription

[@williamgrunzweig571]

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).

[@williamgrunzweig571]

​@@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.

[@MIchaelMiranda77]

@@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

[@JB-ej2qy]

Main reason I won’t buy a Tesla because Elon is so cheap. No reason home-link is not preinstalled. 🙄

[@Clubrhythm]

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.

[@googleuser4434]

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...

[@vtxdaryl]

Why am I watching this, I have a model X.
