So, I have a 2010 E550 (US Spec) and I live in Germany. Problem is that the HomeLink system has never synced with my garage door here. I believe I have a rolling code garage and have followed the manual instructions exactly (several times). I have always just shrugged my shoulders and figured it had to do with my car being built for the US market and trying to make it work on the European system.

BUT, as I read the recent posts on this subject, it seems A LOT of people are having trouble with this system even in North America.

Question: Are there really 2 different frequencies for garage doors; One for Europe and one for North America? And are the rear view mirrors with HomeLink coded as such?

Thanks for your input.

 

This is indeed true. MB offers two different versions of the rear-view mirror with garage opener, one for NA and one for Europe.
