Anybody figure out how to program the HomeLink on this bike? I could use a few tips. Thanks in advance.

Take you garage door opener and with it next to the bike press and hold the button. With the bike powered on hold the homelink button down you want to program for 5 seconds. Should be good to go.

This is from the HomeLink website
It worked for my new Honda CR-V
To program a new HomeLink Button:
Visit Homelink.com/utility to watch a simple training video, or follow these steps:
• Press the desired HomeLink button and the indicator light will begin flashing slowly.
• Holding the garage door remote about 1-3 inches from the HomeLink buttons, press and hold the garage door remote button until the HomeLink
indicator light changes from flashing slowly to either solid or flashing rapidly.
• Press and release your trained HomeLink button.
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is complete, and pressing the trained HomeLink button should now activate your garage door.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly, proceed with the following programming instructions.
• On your garage door opener in your garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button.
• Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, there are typically about 20 seconds in which to initiate the next step.
• Return to the vehicle, and press and release the trained HomeLink button.
• Repeat the “press/release” sequence up to 3 times to complete the training process.

I was able to get one of doors using the first part above, the second door (different building) required using the learn button on the opener.
Im going with a stand alone remote, one 1/8" hole for a push button and its done.
Just gotta figure out where to put it.

major teardown for homelink - not so bad if doing at same time as speaker upgrade, trunk sub harness, cb radio, xm radio, fog lights, spoiler brake light etc.
Expensive option? Yes, I'd say it is. For some it may be okay but not for me.
HomeLink has been around for a long time. I noticed that it was available back in 2002 when I was car shopping. It came as standard equipment on some of the higher level vehicles I was looking at during that time. I also wanted that same kind of convenience on my Gold Wings too.
So, for about $25 I bought two small garage door opener remote controllers. I programmed my opener so that it recognized the remotes. I mounted them with Velcro in fairing cubby boxes of each bike. They work quite well.
I did however get a new CR-V this last December and it had the HomeLink already installed as part of the complete auto package. It works very well and I am glad they did not tell me it was an option that needed to be paid for above and beyond the price of the vehicle. For $215 list price with a 2.5 hour install at $100 an hour, it is just way over priced on the Gold Wing. I'll just continue to use the small remotes that I currently have.
One more thing, one could very well wire it to a separate button on the bike and power it from the bike. The controls use small 12v batteries for power.

I would think someone like Electrical Connection, or one of the other vendors is going to come up with something. The downfall with trying to modify another Homelink out of a car or truck, is you have to make it waterproof.
The mini remote doesn't have to be waterproof. It will fit in the fairing pocket quite well. I never take mine out of the 1500 or 1800 unless I need to replace a battery every couple of years.
Yes solder a set of small diameter wires to the remote and run them to the Homelink button and contact them to it. Press the Homelink button and the connection to the remote is made, I'm sure that EC will find a solution that's easy. I may even take the Flash 2 Pass off my '05 and put it on my 2018, if it will not mess up the Can bus system.
HomeLink Buttons
There are two blanks in the HomeLink positions when the Gold Wing is delivered.
The switches are installed with the HomeLink installation kit.
It appears that the switches operate through the Gold Wing Center Panel switching assembly. I doubt that there is a way to use those two ports without the kit switches and harness.

I had the Flash2pass motorcycle garage door opener on My last 3 Wings...works great...installs in minutes, and you just flash your high beams twice and your garage door opens or closes!!
I used a small remote and used Velcro to put it on the front left corner wall, just below the top opening of the front cubby.
Cut down the 2 raised pieces on the back of the opener so I would have a flat surface to mount to with the Velcro.
Easy access, just open the door, and push remote button with my left thumb.
This remote is very small.
Its out of the way, out of the weather, doesn't interfere with anything.
It was $12.:smile2:

A less expensive, non-HomeLink option for those with a MyQ unit is the new Chamberlain MyQ Home Bridge. I've configured it for HomeKit via Apple TV, but it also works with Android. I use HomeLink in my car, but when I'm not in my car, I can open our garage doors with my watch or my phone. This thing will now save me the cost of the HomeLink accessory for the Gold Wing.

I love being able to get alerts on my phone for things like the garage doors being opened anytime after 10pm, or being left open for longer than 30 minutes. You can also remotely open them to let someone in the house if needed. Also helps for those "did I close the garage door?" moments because you can check from anywhere.
This replaced my Liftmaster 828LM (older cousin of the bridge), and if anyone wants that instead I'd sell it.

I have the exact same setup. Using the Apple Watch, just say “Hey Siri I’m Home” Garage Door Opens, House Doors Unlock, Lights come on in the house if it is after sunset and the Thermostat adjusts to the temperature I prefer when I’m at home. Oh how we love gadgets!
Now, let me understand something here....... When the assembly of the Homelink is all finished, and I start the bike, there should be a icon of a "Home" light up on the dashboard on the right hand side, right? Then you can program the unit to your remote control. Well, if that's the case, something about mine is not right - I get no icon on the dash. Where should I start to troubleshoot this thing?
The light will not show up on the dash until you press and hold down the desired button for I think 5 seconds to put it into the learn mode. The only other time the light comes on the dash is when you press it to open a door.
When I start my bike the Homelink light does not come on like all the warning and function lights do.
