Homelink and Security+ 2.0

[jman1200]

One of my garage openers quit after 11 years, went and got a modern one (Chamberlain B750C) that now comes with a bunch of features.
I haven't been able to program the Home-link on any of my vehicles, according to the website all vehicles manufactured after 2011 should be able to link to Security+ 2.0 systems. Older vehicles MAY need something called a compatibility bridge.
Has anyone here been able to link your SHO (2010-2012) to openers with this technology? Want to know before I keep trying.

Ok, so I know someone else in this forum will eventually run into this so I am posting what I found:

After a lot of searching, I learned that Security+ 2.0 only works with Homelink 4.0 which came out in 2008 but only massively rolled out in 2011.

I also found this on Amazon:
To be perfectly clear on this whole Homelink situation here is the clear answer. If your car was built in 2012 or before, you MAY have Homelink 3.0 protocol based system. If your buttons for Homelink are on your rearview mirror, you could check the BACK of the mirror, and look at the FCC, IC, or Model, look at the end, last 3 may say HL3, if it does its Homelink 3.0. If it says HL4, then its the newer Homelink 4.0. Anything HL4/Homelink 4.0 will work for SURE. Anything HL3 will not work without a repeater kit with this opener. I know this for a fact. My 2009 Hyundai Genesis has a HL3, refused to work. My 2014 Dodge Durango has a HL4, worked flawlessly. That's why a lot of newer cars work cause they started using HL4. The cutoff seems to be somewhere around 2012 (but depends on if that manufacturer moved to HL4 or not)
I also called Chamberlain (they were useless) and Homelink. The lady from Homelink wasn't very helpful either, I asked if they had a list of all the cars that came with 4.0 and the answer was no. She did said that to date, 2020 vehicles like Jaguar still come with 3.0 so as many other brands.

No idea yet what version of Homelink is installed in my SHO but I am going to assume is 3.0 so I might have to buy the compatibility bridge for it. For now, I did find the HL4 reference on the back of the rear view mirror of my Pathfinder and was also able to get it to work.

I never got mine to work in a 2010.

I had no issue getting the old style (blue button) one to work. New one (yellow button) is not compatible with the 2010. Not sure if the newer SHO's came with HL4.
