Homelink Programming on E350
I have programmed numerous vehicles for the Homelink garage door opener in the past but for some reason cannot successfully program my 2012 E350. I have followed the instructions in the manual to the letter and tried both methods (using remote control and signal from garage door opener motor) a dozen times. If anyone else has experienced this problem and has a solution please let me know. Thank you.

I just bought brand new Chamberlain garage door opener last week. I cleared out the codes on my 2010 e350 and tried to program the new one Chamberlain to it. I tried for hours across two days and can’t get it to sync. When I first got my car 2 years ago, I was able to quickly sync it to my old garage door opener. I called homelink and they told me since my new garage opener has Homelink 2.0, it’s not compatible with my car and that I need to buy a Repeater (see attached link). Apparently, any MB prior to 2012 will not be compatible with this newer 2.0.

EDIT: The owner's manual offers no information regarding compatibility with HomeLink versions. It only punts the question to the HomeLink website. Typical...

After upgrading to a new Chamberlain a few years ago, I was not able to program the left button on my '12 E350 to work that was working on my prior opener. Eventually, I tried the middle button and got it working in minutes. Still don't know why the first button did not want to work.
Good luck!
