- Hold down the two outside buttons at the same time until the in-car LED begins quickly flashing to erase any factory-programmed data from the in-car system. This could take up to a minute (in most circumstances, the car door needs to be closed and/or the key should be on the auxilary).
- Choose which button you want to use as the transmitter for your car’s garage door. Press the garage door remote control and the chosen in-car transmitter button at the same time while holding your transmitter up close to the chosen button. Hold down the buttons until the LED light inside the automobile starts to flash quickly. You are not finished though; the in-car remote transmitter is now set to work with your garage door openers. This in-car transmitter must now become your own transmitter.
- Go to your garage door opener’s Learn Button. The button is typically located close to where the motor head and floppy antenna are attached. When tapped, an indication light that flashes red for Genie appears most frequently beneath the light lens. With Sears or Liftmaster (Chamberlain), it is a red, green, or purple square button with a green, amber, or purple indicator light that is located close to or a part of the terminal screw board. Press this button to learn for a moment. If Genie or another source of light is present, the indicator light will turn on and blink. Go back to the in-car transmitter button you previously programmed for Genie systems, and push it three or four times, or until the door begins to move. Your in-car transmitter should now be connected to your garage door opener. Press and hold the in-car button you preset for Liftmaster, Sears, or Linear Megacode until the garage opener light flashes. Your car’s interior is now configured to open your door.

Is the Linear garage door opener compatible with HomeLink?
I have a 2020 Laramie, and I have tried a variety of remote controls (Clicker universal, MultiCode – recommended by HomeLink, and finally a Linear remote). The Linear LD033 Garage Door Opener could be operated by any remote control, but only the Linear MCT-3 remote could be used to set up the HomeLink transmitter in the truck. Linear, which uses the 318 Mhz frequency and is marketed under the Apple Door name, is infamously difficult to program with more recent HomeLink systems. Hope this can be of assistance to someone out there and saves you hours of misery and money on pointless remotes!

According to my SA, the Taycan’s Homelink transmitter is located behind the front bumper. Insulated glass therefore has no impact on its range. Always remember to program with brand-new batteries and the original transmitter (the one that was coupled with the receiver first).
Porsche Taycan: An SUV or not?
Are we experiencing deja vu once more? In the SUV of the Year competition from the previous year, we disqualified a number of excellent candidates for the sin of being automobiles. Due to the fact that they weren’t competitive SUVs, the Mercedes-Benz E450 All-Terrain and the Audi A6 Allroad both failed to make the finalist cut.
Of course, we loved both wagons. like vehicles. In fact, the E-Class eventually won our coveted Car of the Year title for 2021. At the time, features editor Christian Seabaugh noted that “proper SUVs come with a sense of gatekeeping.” I hear you. So it goes without saying that the Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo from 2022 is just another chapter in the faux-SUV tale. Wait a minute.
As opposed to the superb wagon version of the brand’s sedan, the Panamera Sport Turismo, Porsche advertises this vehicle as an SUV under the term Cross Turismo. Having said that, the only features that set the Cross Turismo apart from a regular Taycan—aside from body style—include standard air suspension, a gravel mode, and a 0.8-inch ride height rise. I’m done now.
A Cross Turismo-exclusive dual-motor powerplant with 375 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque is hidden beneath the gorgeous exterior. Although your mileage may (greatly) vary, switching from a sedan to a wagon—oops, we mean SUV—does come with a minor range penalty: 215 versus 225 miles for an entry-level Taycan sedan.
What distinguishes the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo from other German wagons that pass for SUVs? Off-road mischief Actually, no. More fun than any other vehicle here in the gravel and around our sand course, according to associate web editor Duncan Brady. Having heard that? The baby-lift electric station wagon was more enjoyable off-road than any of the vehicles vying for the Golden Calipers, including the powerful Jeep Wrangler and the big Ford Bronco. A filmmaker may or may not have requested the guy who wrote this to make six laps in a sand pit specifically for the huge rooster tails. But a hoon-mobile that makes you smile is not always an SUV of the Year. In fact, most judges find it difficult to even refer to the Porsche as an SUV.
Mexico editor Miguel Cortina stated, “As much as I enjoy the Taycan Cross Turismo, this is a wagon, not an SUV. Frank Markus, the technical director, added, “Visibility is bad for an SUV, but okay for a sports car.” He persisted in arguing against a Porsche triumph. “Once more, a glass roof with no covering! I detest that so much “He bemoaned.
This is a common problem with EVs, and it stands out more under the 106°F Mojave Desert sun. From the back seat, “I detest this roof even more… ” Markus stumbled and started to fade away. In addition, the Volvo XC40 Recharge accelerates to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds as opposed to the Porsche’s 4.5 seconds and costs half as much ($10,500). Not to mention that the Cross Turismo is a less efficient version of the world’s least efficient EV, whose motors are not manufactured by Porsche.
The Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo continues to be one of our favorite vehicles, but it falls short of being our SUV of the Year for 2022.
