The GDO itself is a Genie and has a rolling code. The transmitters I've got are Lift Master, Genie, and Chamberlain. Lol. I guess I've collected various brands over time. Only the Chamberlain Key FOB doesn't program. Everything does.

 

I may look into switching the HL to something other than Constant Power. I don't keep any valuables in the garage but... why give someone who is outside, access to be that much closer.

Hmm, i just thought about it more. would the HL lose it's memory if it loses power?

From what I read on here, the sunglasses holder is apparently too small for most sunglasses. That's where I tucked my remote.

Did you install your HL or was it in from the factory. Some hand held transmitters don't transmit as long as you hold the button down. For those you have to press-release-press-release as long as it takes or they turn off after a few seconds.

The HL in the truck is Factory and programs fine. It's the key fob unit that doesn't. I have other hand held transmitters that programmed fine. I really only like the key fob since it stays with the key.

if there is 3 wires to it then it is 12v constant, 12v switched, and ground. I have setup several HL GDO on vehicles that didn't come with them. There is nothing to setting them up.

If this is true Maybe we don't have the switched 12v in our trucks just the constant 12v and that is why it will not learn. I thought the switched 12v was for the LED lights on the buttons for at night

You see the difference We are installing HL into trucks that didn't have the option from factory. Remember the heated steering wheel install ---- trucks with out pedal package didn't have the 12v in the plug for steering wheel Could be the same scenario. Might be the switched 12v is missing so you just can't add it plug n play. It would be nice if someone would find the pin layout of the main connector to the console and note what that other wire (not the ground or 12v constant) actually does..Or just test the one in their working HL to see when or if it is energized I will eventually figure this out. But I think if we all work together on this we will get it figured out. Just like the other installs on this site.

Hey ladies & gents,

 

Just to give a quick update on this, I know this is a bit late but for anyone else wanting to know this. You FIRST need to go to some place like www.gmpartsonline.net and drill down to you make/year/model and ensure there is a option for a replacement for the trim/harness/buttons/transmiiter for your vehicle, IF you DO see these options, you more than likely will be able to do this OEM style and not aftermarket (not guaranteed based on you situation). The transmitter for mine is as stated by another guy, that all is needs is power, it doesn't connect to anything else like the vehicle computer or anything, it is self contained. I decided to do the research on this after being told from the dealership, "You can't add this to your vehicle".. Upon researching this myself, I found I could buy a new harness (to have the OEM HomeLink plug on it), Trim plate (to be able to add the buttons), the buttons themselves and the transmitter. All in all I think I spent about 180.00 to keep it OEM. I WAS able to do it. I have a video that show tips and tricks on a 2014 silverado LT and changing the said above parts on the overhead console.. I made a youtube video on this make/model/color for my truck. I seriously hope is helps others wanting to do the same thing. I also upgraded my OEM 4.2" radio (i04) without OEM backup camera to a 8" (i05 - no nav) with OEM backup camera on the same truck. I'm getting together a small video on this as well and post it on my channel in youtube.

 

 

 

 

 

Did your truck come with any extra option packages from the factory. If so which ones.

I understand the differences with mine and what with thread is about. I was only sharing my experience and based on this thread, decided to try and program mine. The pinout for the HL was found in page 1193 of the 2016 Upfitter. 4 pin connector, with 3 circuits. The 3rd circuit is the LED Backlight Dimming Control. Power and Ground are the other two.

Then you would agree they should work The second 12v is for the little button lights so you can see them at night. That endorses my belief that the ones we are buying on Ebay from Priority...... are faulty. So I will buy another one from a Salvage dealer and try that. Thanks for your help. I trust your knowledge and appreciate your input when it doesn't really benefit you. I'll post my results

Yep. Sounds like it should've just worked. I also did another test since I can't tell if Circuit #240 is constant 12V. Rolled the window down, turned truck off, waited at least an hour for RAP to be off. It still opened the garage. So it is constant 12V. Hope y'all get this figured out.

Does anyone have the part number for the harness that has the plug so we don't have to run a power and ground?

In the video of the guy that did the swap, he does show the new harness part #. Part # 23127742.

 

Probably a good idea and make sure your receiving end harness (headliner side) has pin #17 loaded for power, Pin # 10 for ambient lighting, and pin # 4 for ground. In his video, its Plug and Play.. but there could be variants on years/trims. It looks like Ground and ambient lighting are shared circuits that jumped to other places so those should be already present.

might be cheaper or just as cheap buying the whole console new. You have to buy 4 parts if you do the upgrade piece by piece: wire harness-homelink-trim plate-buttons. then you could sell your old console on ebay for a couple bucks. Also Just received a mailer from GM If you have a GM card. It states "Spend over $100 on parts at your GM dealership get $100 off your purchase" Sounds to good to be true but I'll check it out.

Ok here goes.. Good news Just received my console from Ebay Salvage yard console. $75 shipped Installed Drove down the road to program the HL and BANG in 5 seconds was programmed. Drove back to my garage---pressed the button and the door opened. Pressed again it closed. Success The consoles from Priority...... are faulty. Time for my next upgrade..

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
