I just got my 2003 E55 on Tuesday of last week and have been enjoying the beast ever since. However, my Homlink Garage Door Opener buttons do not work. I have programmed my garage doors on a number of other Mercedes-Benz cars but this one won't work (and I konw it's not user error).

Has anyone else ever had the unit stop working (it doesn't "learn" the signal I send to it). I'm taking it in to the shop to hopefully get a new unit in the car.

Call the (800) number in the owner's manual, they will walk you thru the
steps. I had the same problem.

Be sure you are not parked inside your garage too. May cause interference. I had this problem and when I called TeleAid, they had me park on the driveway and then I was able to program my car.

Already called the 800 number and talked with them. They don't know what's wrong either. Did you guys not listen to my first post? I have programmed this garage door to a number of other Mercedes-Benz cars. It's not me, it's the stupid unit in the car.

DerekFSU

If it's the stupid unit in the car then why are you asking us and not your service department?

Perhaps to see if anyone else has experienced this problem.

I think I may have to get new controllers for my garage door opener. The ones in the car work fine, but the ones that came with the opener don't anymore.

I guess I shouldn't have left them in my pockets which my jeans went through the clothes-washer and dryer.

Thank vraa, obviously Derek cannot comprehend full sentences and understand what I'm asking. Next time you respond to a post, please ask yourself how stupid you may look.

DerekFSU

Dude, who the f*ck are you? And how do you have a driver's license at 12 years of age?

You stated that it wasn't working for you.

Having had the same problem, I read it looking for an answer.

e55norm recommended the 800 number since it worked for him. (I hadn't noticed the 800 number so this may be the fix for me.)

Nickerz mentioned you may want to be out of the garage for interference reasons because that worked for him. (I hadn't tried it outside the garage so this too may be of service to me.)

Then you come back with a smart a** response asking if they had properly read your first post. 2 guys offer help and you insinuate that something is wrong with their reading/comprehension because their answers didn't work for you. Believe it or not "show me state" boy, it ain't all about you.

It may be true that I ( and the other responders to your inquiry) somehow looked stupid for not knowing exactly what you were looking for but based on this thread, you're an a**hole.

Just porogrammed mine, didnt have a problem!

DerekFSU

Bo, is your garage opener one of those that changes the code all the time for security puroses? I've heard those require an additional step.

MBAMGPWR

You're right, I'm an a-hole and I drive an E55 at 12 years-old. But, at least I know how to read. I wasn't a smart a$$ to them, just to you skippy. What are your experiences with the garage door unit on the W211 E55?

DerekFSU

Fuc off skippy.

BoBcanada

No its just a simple condominium small remote control, so I pushed the buton on the mirror hold it till it started signal then i pressed the button on the remote and then when it cought the signal i started signaling faster... thats it.

I had trouble programming mine. Took it to the dealer, they programmed it to the middle button, some how the left button didn't read my garage remote.

BoBcanada

I programmed left and middle one... works just fine!

MBAMGPWR

That's what I thought. By the way, nice job in using my own words in the comeback against me. That's pretty lame.

MBAMGPWR

Hmm. I've tried all 3 buttons with no success. I guess it's time to schedule an appointment to get this thing fixed.

vraa

I'm guessing it's probably just a few wires loose. Might be a harness that's slipped up, don't worry about it. If it comes to it, you'll need a new rear view mirror. Minor stuff.

DerekFSU

How's that garage door opener coming for ya skippy?

MBAMGPWR

About as good as an E55 is doing for you, schleprock. What type of car do you own? I'm curious that you're just trolling the MBWorld Forums.

MBAMGPWR

That's what I'm thinking, no biggie. I just want it working so I don't have to carry my garage door opener on the sunshade. Ah, it's tuff owning a Benz if that's all you have to worry about!

DerekFSU

Yep, that's me skippy. Just trolling with no E.

W210

Something worth trying before seeing the dealer, clearing the memory pressing left and right buttons together?

I had a defective garage opener unit in an Audi, it would stop working when it's very hot outside, had it swapped everything works well.

My past experience with MB garage openers had been great, no problems whatsoever.

MBAMGPWR

Thanks, I've already tired that. I'm 99% sure the unit is broken. Time to talk with my service guy and get this fixed. Thanks all for your help and Skippy Pumperdink (DerekFSU) for the entertainment.
