Is everybody's Home-link reception/reach really bad?

works like a charm....300 yards maybe?

Do you have any LED lights near your garage door opener? LED light kill RF and can make things like garage door openers not work.

300 yards, I can't get 300 inches! The only led with power in the garage is a small nightlight about 20 feet from the opener that turns itself on when it's dark.

And here I was happy with three inches ... have you tried unplugging the night light?

I'll try that, just seems odd that it works very well with the regular opener I keep in my other truck. I'm well over 3", closer to 3 1/8" as long as I stretch it some.

Mine does not have a great range - 30' maybe from the opener to the visor. Often I have to open the door before the garage door will open. Mine is an Overhead Door brand opener.

Mine works great from about a house length away. Actually works better than the transmitter than cane with my garage door. My previous 18 and 13 Raptor worked great as well.

She's still going to know it's only 3" with the lights off.

One thing I did notice on mine is I have to tap it once then the garage door goes up, if I hold it down it doesn’t do anything.

I'll prove it to her with my ruler!!

Unlikely to be interference if the regular remotes work correctly. Do the regular remotes work correctly from inside the truck when the Homelink does not?

2017 absolutely no problems. My truck must be something special. I don't have any problems of any kind.

Same here but... works great during the day but at night I am almost against the door and sometimes flipping the visor down to get it to work. Glad I’m not the only one. Thought it was an opener issue.

Yep mine sucks. Some days (almost seems weather dependent) it works from 100ft. Other days it won't work until I'm stopped with the bumper 5ft from the garage door. I also find that moving the visor vertical seems to help a little. Probably something to do with the Homelink antenna orientation.
