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

[blackbird18]

I back in my driveway with my bumper between 5 and 15 feet of the door. I have about a 50% success rate opening the door. Closing the door has a much higher success rate. Maybe 85%.

Its annoying as hell.

I’d say the homelink reception in my Raptor is pretty weak ass sauce. My 2012 Power Wagon was way better.

Same here ... We can open the door from at least one house down with the home link in my wife’s Jeep, but have to be completely in the driveway facing the door with my truck.

This is a pain because I back in on my side to get both vehicles to fit with enough space between them to open the driver-side doors a reasonable amount. I used to pull in, get the door to open, then back out and turn around to back into the garage.

I just keep a spare garage door opener in the truck now and use that instead of the home link.

Mine is around 25ft. I have to almost bump the door with my front. My fiancé's Lexus is around 300ft from the same opener.

Better than no Homelink I guess.

Mine opened from 60 yards away today. That's the corner to my street so I can't try any farther than that. Ranged it with my Leupold. Wife says she hits it at the corner all the time.

Mine works fine once I removed the LED lights from from Garage Door Opener...

Yeah, mine works great as well. Do not know why you all are debating this.
