Hey what's up everyone this is KeN.
I am doing this video because I've been wanting this product for a very long time.
You probably saw from the title and the thumbnail.
But I..
Finally got the Garage Door Opener which basically is HomeLink.
As you all know HomeLink used to come standard in Tesla's.
I think it's around 350 bucks right now as I looked at the Tesla website.
One important thing for this video I wanted to stress to people is..
They recommend you once you receive the HomeLink device.
Number one they don't want you to open it.
And number two they want you to schedule the service appointment
to get it installed once you receive the package.
I don't really agree with that I think you're extending your time to to be honest with you.
So once I ordered it I got the shipping confirmation.
I immediately went to my app and set the service appointment.
For whenever it's available the earliest.
Because here in the United States I don't know about any other country.
They will ship via UPS or FedEX which is pretty fast and I think it's like two-day shipping.
So it gets here really fast.
The only thing is yeah it could get lost in the mail but
I mean what's the chances of that happening maybe 5-10% maybe.
The box that it comes in and has like a pink sticker on it that says "DO NOT OPEN."
If anybody knows why you can't open it let me know.
What I'm thinking is you can damage it or something like that.
So I will see you tomorrow or maybe the day after.
When I can record my final thoughts and kind of just show you on the screen how it looks.
So I'll see you in a little bit.
All right I'm back!
So I did got the Garage Door Opener installed on my car.
Umm..it's HomeLink.
I'll show you on the screen here in a little bit.
So my appointment was 8:30 to 12:30 in that time window.
And he called me a little bit before 8:00 and said he was a little early.
So he got here around 8:00 which was fine.
And the process, the installation really took maybe 20-25 minutes.
And it was really cool.
Very nice Service Technician from Tesla.
Everything was done really well.
He explained what he was doing.
The only difference you're gonna see is in two places.
Right down here is where it has Homelink.
And you can name it whatever you want and it has "Activate" down here.
And that's where you can activate the garage
up and down and I'll show you that last.
So if I hit that Home icon you'll see that it says "HomeLink Settings."
My name is in green.
I believe the Service Technician told me if it's not green there's probably something wrong.
So I'm gonna hit "HomeLink Settings."
Then you can add another HomeLink if you want.
I think it's up to 3 devices that can be programmed.
You see my name uh for my garage opener is "Ken Home."
So I'm gonna click on it and the default is 70 feet.
It'll have your name up there "Auto fold mirrors."
The second option I have checked is Auto-open when arriving."
So whenever you do come in it will definitely
open the garage for you once it's in that geofencing.
And the next is "Auto-Close when leaving."
So whenever you leave it'll close the garage.
And then down here I have it checked, "Chime for Auto-Open and Auto-Close.
So let's just test and see if it works!
Get out of that screen.
Right down here where I showed you earlier
under HomeLink where it says the name of my "Home" that I programmed.
I'm gonna hit it.
And as you see the garage is going down.
And then I can just hit it right there right in mid-motion.
Click it.
You'll see a little green like a Wi-Fi type look.
And it's just basically communicating with the garage opener.
And it opens it right back up.
Which is pretty cool.
