2021 Homelink issues

I am having difficulty getting the Homelink smart mirror to work properly. I cleared the Homelink button and when programming with the remote it accepts the programming (a slowly blinking yellow in receive mode goes to flashing green). But when I press the button to open or close the garage it does not work--it does flash green, as it should.

I thought it might be the fact that I am parked right under the garage door opener, but pulling out and being in front of the garage door shows the same non-functional behavior. I have tried over and over, clearing the programming and reprogramming, including using the transmit button on the garage door opener itself. All produce the same result. Apparent successful programming but no function.

The Homelink and Genie sites are not real informative, mostly dealing with failed programming attempts, and not with successful programming simply not working. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions?

 

If your garage door motor is not homelink, then I believe there is an extra step when programming the mirror.

What garage door motor do you have?

 

It is a Genie ProMax 2 with a 1/2 HP Model PCG700ML motor.

 

This is from the manual that came with my 21' Taco:

How to Set Up Toyota HomeLink

1. Hold your garage or gate remote within 1-2 inches of your Toyota HomeLink system.
2. Press and hold both the remote button and your desired HomeLink button. ...
3. Release both buttons, then press the HomeLink button twice to confirm.
4. Press the HomeLink button once to test garage door functionality.

This isn't a Tacoma, it is a Toyota with Homelink:

 

Hmnnn. @MyBlueTaco I did see this, and this is what I have been doing. Along with resetting and trying it directly from the transmit (learn) button on the garage door unit itself. Neither of those procedures worked. The Tacoma manual did have a fair amount of information, but did not provide any additional insights.

@ktbell444 got me thinking. So instead of doing the general search for issues, I searched for genie promax 2 and homelink. ktbell444 is correct there is an additional step for this unit. I had not tried this two step approach. And it worked!

Thanks for help! Sometimes you just have to know what to search for.

HOMELINK IN-CAR REMOTE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
To program a built-in-car transmitter to a rolling code garage door opener (Genie rolling code is called Intellicode, Liftmaster/Sears is called Security plus), you should take the following steps.

1. Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car LED starts flashing rapidly. This may take up to a minute (in most cases, the key should be on auxilary, and/or the car door must be shut).
2. Decide which button you want to make to be your in-car garage door transmitter. Hold your transmitter up near the selected button, pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button simultaneously. Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, LED light flashes rapidly. This sets the in-car remote transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done. You now need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.
3. Go to the Learn Button on your garage door opener. The button is usually next to the area where the floppy antenna is connected to the motor head. With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and an indicator light flashes red when pressed. With Sears or Liftmaster (Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board, and is a red, green or purple square button with a green, amber or purple indicator light. Press this learn button momentarily. The indicator light will turn on and blink if Genie or otherwise stay lit. For Genie systems, go back to the in-car transmitter button you programmed and press this button 3 or 4 times, or until the door starts moving. This should set your in-car transmitter to your garage door opener. For Liftmaster, Sears, or Linear Megacode press and hold the in-car button you programmed until the garage opener light flashes. Your in-car is now programmed to operate your door.
