Me. Have had the car for a year now. Remote clipped to visor as I have one of those randomized cycling remote code garage door things.
All I know is that I tried twice and gave up! Maybe I'll try it again soon.

I bet you guys are also the ones that can't figure out how to stream NetFlix to your TV, or to tether your laptop to the net for free, or, dare I say, add a new bill to your online billpayer? Technologically challenged? If it itsn?t point and click, right here and now, you?re out, right? I bet your all also Apple fans ? Ipod all the way, no?
Better get with the times man ? its coming and its coming quick. If you can?t figure out how to set a garage door opener on your car, good lord you?ll never be able to figure out how to set up your avatar when the in house full immersion reality shit for computers comes along and you?ll miss out on the cyber sex and fun to be had. See what this all leads too?just set the garage door openers already, OK.

The homelink directions can be perplexing to many people and once properly set up the range of the xmitter is very limited ... 20-40 feet.
And, for those of you who noted that it works only for garage doors and such with rolling codes ... well, you're incorrect. I have an OLD craftsman opener that is set with dip switches and programmed by mirror buttons to operate that just fine. It took me 2-3 times to get it right ... you have to follow the sequence exactly as it is written - but it works!

10 minutes later the garage opener was fixed.Now with my Mercedes it's a different story. I have owned the E55 for over two years and i am still carrying the remotes
Netflix? Care to explain what the heck this is ?
Laptop? Don't have much time to be watching TV but it would be nice to know how to do that ?
Online billpay/shopping? Wife set it all up so i am good here
