08 homelink retrofit
i am struggling with retrofitting the garage door opener system on my 08 a3 8p.
I have sun visor 8P1 857 551 C and module 8E0 909 551. Wiring was made by myself as per ELSA (attached).
SUN VISOR PINOUT:
1 - illuminated vanity mirror
2 - gnd
3 - goes into homelink module pin 2
4 - terminal 15
5 - J519 - T16a/5
6 - J519 - T12c/12
MODULE PINOUT:
1 -
2 - TO sun visor pin 3
3 - GND
4 - terminal 15
Button's illumination is working as expected, but the led doesn't react to button click.
Do you see any mistake made regarding wiring? Both modules the sun visor and homelink module are second hand, so i can't be sure they are working.
I couldn't find any related codings and/or adaptations.
Am I the only one to retrofit this (probably doesn't working correctly) system?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Yet you cannot use the garage?
Like most people, vladovaleriev is 100% convinced that everyone knows his setup. So he just post a casual picture for reference to the well-known setup he knows so well.
... well ...

And i can not use GARAGE DOOR OPENER (or HomeLink) that i am trying to retrofit on my car simply because it doesn't work? What is unclear?
