Linkmaster 8500 Security + 2.0 garage door opener
Had an extra bay built on to the house, with a door close to the ceiling so I can add a lift. Had a garage door opener put in that installs on the door spring rod, which decreases clearance near the ceiling.
https://www.liftmaster.com/for-homes...ies/model-8500 Unfortunately, it uses a new technology (security + 2.0) which supposedly sends a new code each time I push the opener button. I'm afraid the Homelink in the 2009 Z4 doesn't work with this. Anyone know for sure? (I can't get it to pair). |

Have the same issue with 2012 Z4. Unfortunately I have to keep the original remote in the car to open or I can use the App on my phone.

Sending a new code every time sounds like what the pretty old and mundane rolling code openers have done for years. When you programmed the remote to the Homelink did you just press and hold the button on the opener's remote or did you do the press-release-press cycle while you held the Homelink buttons?
If you did the press-release-press and it still doesn't work you might need this bridge kit to make it work: https://secure.homelink.com/homelink...ter-kit-detail Last edited by Tangent; 04-26-2017 at 06:30 PM.. |

As Tangent said, you need the bridge kit. I have the 8550W with the HomeLink bridge kit. The remote that comes with the bridge kit is what your car will learn from.

I also have the bridge kit. None of my cars from 2011 back work with my opener without the homelink bridge.
