    My Iphone App used to work on my garage door until I upgraded to 5G router and then it wouldn't work anymore.
    The older garage door 'apps' can't handle 5G I wonder if that could be the issue.

    Assuming it's a Homelink, try this.

    Steps 1&2 worked on my 2023.

    which model? gentex v5, or v4/v3?

    this is gentex v5, with the light up arrows on the left side

    this is a gentex v4/v3. it doesn't have any extra lights

    the above instructions worked fine for me for multiple v4/v3 units. but the original v5 unit my truck came with never programmed, no matter what steps i took. multiple attempts that ended it with completing the correct light sequence, but never opened the door more than once.

    i replaced mine with a v4 unit...

    Mine is a Gentex V5. I had to clear the codes before I used the instructions above.

    To reset a Gentex V5 mirror, press and hold the two outer buttons simultaneously until the indicator light flashes, then release. This will clear the mirror's memory and settings, including any programmed garage door opener codes.

    Then do steps 1 & 2.

    It’s a Gentex V5. I did the outer button reset. It used to work fine until I tried to program a new gate into it.
    im not using a phone, so 5G shouldn’t be an issue.
    When I push the HomeLink button with the remote button, HomeLink just flashes amber slowly….

    Is the remote you are trying to program new or old? Could be a compatibility issue.

    You may need to do steps 5-7 to get it work.

    What brand is the remote? Do you know the frequency it uses?

    Update: I did the two button reset, held it for close to a minute, and got green lights. I was able to get the garage doors to program, but not a gate. Minor success!
    I followed the instructions posted here, and variations on YouTube, gate control manual and website…. thanks everyone!
