After replacing my battery my garage door opener (homelink) no longer works. I thought it just lost it's codes, but when I attempted to relearn the codes I could not even get the LED to blink. I followed the directions and had the key on and fog lights off. Any suggestions, does anyone know which fuse the homelink is powered from?

I have the same problem, after having the dealer check it out they started talking about changing the whole thing and installing a new one (meaning a lot of cash from my pocket). So I just forgot about it and decided to live without the homelink. If anyone knows of an easy fix for this problem would greatly appreciate the help.

It is a pretty simple circuit but it is controlled through the OBC.

Best to look at it with a PIWIS tester and see if it lost any coding.

I have seen this problem mentioned before, both here and over on the Rennlist 997 forum. I bet your heated seats do not work either.

The solution seems to be having the dealer do something called a "hand over reset".

Does anyone have any more info on this "hand-over reset" I'm having the exact same issues (mentioned in another thread). Kind of glad they're not separate issues, never-the-less still a problem.

Thanks

What do you want to know?

Basically they just run a program the PIWIS that inventories the control units in the car and resets them to their new car delivery state. It is a no brainer.

:o A good dealer would not charge for this obvious warranty/Porsche fault.

Loren,

That $65 is the least of my worries, they are going try and get my 'stuck' CD out of the PCM if not replacement is $2600 for the complete new unit! I say bull... my warranty was over 04/30/09 car has 25kmiles

I had a battery failure and lost all electronics except for the headlights. I was told by the dealer that they reset all the computers and recharged the battery. Problem Solved

I recently purchased a pre-owned 997. Upon delivery inspection I found out heated seats were not working. Sales person suggested I talk to service manager to fix.

Over the weekend I found out Home Link was not working either. After search in this site, I found out my car simply needed a "hand over reset" using PIWIS. Prior owner had replaced the battery.

In less than 15 minutes, technician connected PIWIS to my car, did the "hand over reset", and now my heated seats and Home Link are working.

Cheers,
