Review: Super Simple Install; Works Great - Some important things to realize about this product: (1) Their online marketing material is not clear, but the smaller box that looks like a remote control is *ONLY* for programming your older car's HomeLink 1.0 system. You cannot use it as an additional GDO (garage door opener) remote. However, I'm planning on keeping it in case I have to reprogram my old car due to a battery disconnect or I buy a different older model car. (2) Place the repeater (the larger box) as close to the GDO as possible. Mine is about 18" from it, and it works great. Some reviewers had complained about this, perhaps because they don't have an electrical outlet close to the GDO. But I don't understand that rationale because the GDO runs on electricity, so why not just plug the repeater into the same electrical outlet, even if you have to use a power strip? (3) The repeater works as an intermediate relay, essentially taking your old car's HomeLink transmission (v1.0 is at a lower frequency) and converting it to the higher frequency required by the HomeLink v2.0 system (which is probably what your new GDO senses). The higher frequency gives HomeLink an opportunity to offer you control over more devices within your home. (4) Use the smaller box (the thing that looks like a GDO remote) to first sense what frequency your car's built-in HomeLink 1.0 system broadcasts at. Those instructions are per YOUR vehicle and will NOT be included in this HomeLink product. If you don't have the original owner's manual, find one online or call a dealership to ask how to program a new GDO remote. (5) Follow the instructions included with this HomeLink Repeater product to sync it with your car's output. It's super simple; literally the press of two buttons within a 30-second window. (6) IMPORTANT: Straighten the purple antenna wire so that it hangs straight down as much as possible. If it is coiled, it will not sense your car's signal as well, forcing you to get drive closer to the garage to be within range. One reviewer here mentioned you could tie an 18-gauge wire to the end of the purple antenna wire with a wire nut in order to extend your range, but I did not have to do that. (7) The total install took me about 10 minutes, but that included reading the instructions, digging through a drawer, setting up a ladder to reach the electrical outlet above my GDO, and walking between my car (outside the garage) and the ladder inside my garage. :-) (8) When finished, my 2001 BMW's old HomeLink built-in NOW reaches considerably farther than what I had before. I can activate the GDO from the top of the hill, about 300 feet from the garage. It works fantabulous! This is a solid product, easy to install, and gave me more range than my old built-in HomeLink broadcasting unit in my BMW. Good luck! Review: Works as advertised. Solves backward compatibility issues between new garage door openers and older HomeLink auto controls - Yes, like everyone else I was surprised to find out that my car's HomeLink buttons did not work with my new Chamberlain garage door opener. I was ready to pull my hair out figuring why it wouldn't program properly. After calling Chamberlain they very casually informed me (this must be their number one support call topic) that I needed the Home Link repeater kit in order for the newer model garage door opener to work with my older HL controls in my car. Seems the technology gods forgot about backwards compatibility. When I received the HomeLink repeater kit it was literally a 3 minute install. The enclosed remote is only used to program one of your HL buttons. Once it's programmed you no longer need the remote until you are ready to program another remote, or another door opener. Yes, one HL repeater will work on multiple doors within the same four walls. I was quite happy that the HL repeater programmed so easily, and correctly the very first time. There was absolutely no issues. As others have pointed out, the HL buttons will not work during a power outage as the repeater requires constant AC power. You can mitigate this in one of several ways (provided your garage door has battery backup installed), e.g., have an external keypad entry for the garage door, store one of the remotes in your car's glove box (no one really wants to do this as it becomes a security issue), provide battery backup to the HL Repeater. Any of these will work, but really, how often do you deal with power outages. In my area they are very scarce so this was a non-issue for me. ## Features - Converts and accepts a non-compatible HomeLink signal into a Security+ 2.0 compatible signal - Compatible with vehicles that are equipped with HomeLink - Can be programmed to work with more than one Security+ 2.0 garage door opener - Kit contains a repeater and a "learning" remote control ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GWD4LUI | | Additional Features | Advanced Signal Processing, Remote Management | | Best Sellers Rank | #325,707 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,229 in Garage Door Keypads & Remotes | | Brand | LiftMaster | | Built-In Media | Instruction manual | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | HomeLink equipped vehicles, Security+ 2.0 garage door openers | | Connectivity Technology | Radio Frequency | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,727 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00785497597355 | | Item Weight | 1.28 ounces | | Manufacturer | Sentex/Chamberlain Brands | | Mfr Part Number | 855lm | | Model Name | 855lm | | Model Number | 855lm | | Number of Batteries | 1 Unknown batteries required. | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Advanced Signal Processing, Remote Management | | UPC | 737368684404 822423599400 785497597355 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LiftMaster - **Special Feature:** Advanced Signal Processing, Remote Management - **Color:** Black - **Included Components:** Instruction manual - **Item Weight:** 0.08 Pounds ## Images ![855lm Homelink Repeater Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61w+aJbPNaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can one of these units independently control two garage doors? The manual doesn't mention that at all.** A: Yes. I have a 2014 GMC Acadia, a 2006 GMC Envoy, and two Liftmaster 8355W garage door openers. One bridge is all I needed. Just keep repeating the programming instructions until all the buttons are completed. I only had to program each vehicle button once and then all four buttons worked. **Q: Does anyone know what the "indicator light" is on the repeater? When plugged into the AC socket, it flashes rapidlly in a random pattern.** A: Yeah, I was confused as well, that yellow LED on the wall unit (repeater) is not constantly on, but pulses in somewhat random fashion, was thinking the unit is dead, but that is how it is I guess. I plugged it in the ceiling outlet to shorten the distance to the garage door opener... **Q: I have a new Homelink Repeater. Why does the LED constantly flash and transmit causing same LED flashing on motorhead when it should be 100% idle?** A: Repeater is the link from car to door opener, they communicate constantly. Codes are always changing so someone doesn't steal your opener code. **Q: Does this have to be in a specific location within the garage?** A: I’m not sure if that’s a requirement, but I have mine plugged into the same outlet as the garage door opener and it works great. It would definitely be a safer bet to plug it in closer rather than not. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Simple Install; Works Great *by R***K on October 18, 2021* Some important things to realize about this product: (1) Their online marketing material is not clear, but the smaller box that looks like a remote control is *ONLY* for programming your older car's HomeLink 1.0 system.

Solves backward compatibility issues between new garage door openers and older HomeLink auto controls *by L***E on August 8, 2014* Yes, like everyone else I was surprised to find out that my car's HomeLink buttons did not work with my new Chamberlain garage door opener.

What I didn't know before installing is that the newer security frequency was not updated with older cars with Homelink built in. I can't give the website but you can Google "Chamberlain myQ Homelink compatability" and check if your car's Homelink will work. I ordered this Homelink repeater kit and had it installed in 10 minutes. Follow the directions that are included and take your time. My suggestion is that when it instructs you to hold a button in the car or on the included remote you need to HOLD THE BUTTON for more than a few seconds. Look for the lights and be patient. Also, I had no issues with getting excellent reception from my car to the repeater. It works well and I do not need to be on the driveway for it to work. I mounted the repeater on the ceiling just behind the garage door opener using a GE 6 plug outlet that screws into the face plate so it will not loosen and fall. I was able to plug in the opener, home alarm, security camera and repeater. Once you program everything you will notice that you will need to hold down your car's Homelink button for a few seconds. The repeater takes the signal from your car and then sends a signal with the new security technology to the garage door opener. That is why it takes a few seconds. I wish this was already baked into the new garage door opener. This repeater was totally worth the money since I didn't want to have a new remote clipped to my visor, console or glove box. I am very happy with the cost and the way it turned out . I read some reviews that complained that they didn't get a visor clip with this item. The remote that comes with this is not intended to be used in a vehicle, therefore no clip. It is only for programming. Don't lose it because you will need it for programming any other Homelink systems in older vehicles. One more point, you can't program your older remotes with the repeater. It is only for programming Homelink systems in older cars. ## Frequently Bought Together - LiftMaster 855lm Homelink Repeater Kit - Garage Stop 2X for 893LM 893Max 891LM 371LM 373LM 971LM 973LM LiftMaster Craftsman Chamberlain Garage Door Remote, for 5 Learn Button, Garage Door Opener Remote - myQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad with Wide-Angle Camera,Customizable PIN Codes,and Smartphone Control–Take Charge of Your Garage Access Works with Chamberlain, LiftMaster and Craftsman openers,White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/31624534-855lm-homelink-repeater-kit](https://www.desertcart.de/products/31624534-855lm-homelink-repeater-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
