I just had my garage door opener replaced after it was damaged by lightening. The new one uses a 900 Hz frequency and is also encrypted. Short story the home link in my mirror is not capable of generating this signal. I contacted home link and they are sending me a repeater for the system in the car for S/H. The repeater will pick up the signal from the car and retransmit the correct signal for the opener. The new opener is a MyQ, which means that I can control the opener from my iPhone anywhere I have access to the Internet.

I actually just ran into this problem on Tuesday. Had a new Chamberlain opener installed. Then I tried setting it up on homelink for the #2 button and it would not recognize the frequency. Tried it again with a different remote and it would pick it up fine. Guess I will be emailing homelink as well.
