Don't you have to have access to the "learn" button on the gate opener in order to program homelink?


I think normally you just need one of the working remotes. You press it and the Homelink at the same time, and the Homelink learns it. In some cases you may need to access opener itself.

I’ll check that. Her dad just bought a new car this year so it might. That would be a perfect solution. Thanks!

Is your ex okay with you having that kind of access and if so, why can't she ask for an additional remote which she can use while bicycle riding?

If your ex is not okay with it, where are your ethics located and why destroy her trust in you? Plus, your action may result in a restraining order and your inability to visit your kids. Wink


She’s totally okay with it, as are her parents.

As I stated in the OP she has asked for an additional remote but since she is living with her parents they already have one extra remote and the HoA has refused to give another one.

My ex, her parents and I are still close. I’m staying at their house on Christmas Eve so that we are all with the kids when they wake up. Shortly after that her and I are taking the kids to Disney for a week and even sharing a hotel room. There’s no trust being broken and I wouldn’t think of doing this without their knowledge and blessing.


Looks like I missed it in the OP, apologies.






Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
