I saw a thread posted in 2017 about issues with homelink. I just purchased a new 2018 audi a5 sportback and ran into trouble trying to program my chamberlain garage door opener. I was able to program the same opener to a 2018 ford explorer with no problems. I took the vehicle and remote to the dealer and they could not program the unit either. My chamberlain has an orange learn button. I even bought a new different remote to see if that was the issue. I am in contact with Homelink to see if they can help. But it appears that Audi's homelink system does not work as well as other manufacturers (i was able to program a subaru and ford to the remote no problem). I will keep all informed as to what Homelink responds with.

The method referenced by Tbone seems to work for those with otherwise unsolvable programming issues. What worked for me, and has for multiple other folks, was to follow the instructions on the Homelink site. The Homelink site instructions often do not match the MMI instructions.

Just pull the fuse.

When you pull the fuse, do your reinstall it after you program the opener?

RedKloud

Yes, otherwise your side assist won't work. You just need to pull the fuse once for programming.

Thanks!

Hi - the audi dealership told me that they tried pulling the fuse when they attempted to get the remote to work, This did not solve the problem

How would they know without being in front of your garage door? You can't do this sort of thing at the dealership.
