Homeling Garage/Gate Opener Issues

[Biggles]

Morning everyone.
Just upgraded to a new Taycan and opted for Homelink - which I though would be easier than fumbling for a gate fob every morning and evening.
Have followed all instructions in Drivers Manual - watched the video tutorials and even had my Gate Maintenance Engineer in attendance with different controllers to try and get it working.
Its a rolling code FAAC controller but we tried a universal fixed code controllers too - no luck!!!
The rolling code controller is recognised by the car and Homelink and it registers perfectly, but doesn't work as its code changes. The fixed code controller cant even be recognised by the car or Homelink system despite it opening the gates perfectly well so we know the controller is OK.
Anyone got any bright ideas or experience with these issues?

My only hint – and this wasn't obvious to me – is you have to teach the homelink with your controller in front of your actual gate. I originally tried it (none rolling code) with just the remote control itself pointing at the PCM and it never worked. But when I did the same procedure in front of the gate (with it actually opening from holding down the fob button while teaching) it worked.

Thanks - will give that a go - would never have thought of that.

This is the way. If the remote control with the PCM doesn’t work, using the “learn” button on the opener followed by sync from the car will work. The learning signal should last about 90 seconds so you don’t have to panic about setting it from the car. Also, set the location so that the opener prompt pops up on the PCM when you arrive. Just wish it wasn’t in the bottom left corner because it is sometimes hard to press in that area of the screen.
