I can't even get to that point as the lights on the A8 are not even blinking 3 times when I hold and press the remote near to the car.

Right... sorry I had the steps out of order in my mind.

Are you using the original remote that came with the GDO ?
Mine wouldn't program with the small keychain one I mated to the opener, so I had to dig out the gimongous original that was in storage.

Dave-S4FL

Yes, the remote is the original remote.

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to clear any Homelink programming and start over, but figure you probably already did that.

Mine absolutely refuses to see my gate remote, but since the Q sees your GDO your A8 should.
Any DTCs showing up in an Auto-Scan ?

When I did mine it was not straight forward and one theory I had at the time was that the battery in the remote was low, if I remember correctly you are supposed to press it for a while and if the battery is low it may not hold the signal long enough for the homelink to get a full reading.

Uggggh. Didn't have any problem with garage door, but can't get the complex gate to open. Changed the battery in the remote, have held the remote in the car, outside the car under the drivers light, followed the instructions in the manual and the instructions off the HomeLink web site, but no luck. Didn't have a problem programming the 911 or the Lexus, but can't get the S8 to respond.

Have you checked the batteries in your gate opener?

RED HORSE

New battery.

AtnyS8

Sorry, didn't see that part about the batteries!

jakematic

My A8 won't see my gate opener either
