2006 cl500 & homelink garage door opener

[albertchampion]

even though there are threads dealing with this issue, i care to post this.

here is an issue that is confusing me. i was trying to program the homelink mirror system to operate my garage door today. oddly, it couldn't communicate with an overhead door rolling code system. it responded just as did the homelink mirror system in my 1997 S500. a problem that was eventually solved by a mirror replacement. because the 1997 mirror/homelink didn't recognize rolling codes.

now i could understand the 1997's problem. but surely by 2006 benz had rolling code technology accommodated[at least that is what the owner's manual says]. and i see that the owner's manual says that they think that they do. but i think either that it doesn't or that there is some other problem. all i know is this.....

a. by the lights, i successfully erased all prior memories.

b. by the lights, the mirror accepted the input from my "functional" hand held remote from my e320cab.

c. but, it could not communicate with the rolling code receiver in the overhead door unit.

i tried all 3 buttons. off and on all sunday afternoon....nada.

this is exactly what i experienced with the original mirror/homelink system in the 1997 s500. which was not resolved until the mirror was replaced.

i didn't have a problem programming the "new mirror" s500 in 2003, solo. i cannot see why i should have any problem programming this cl500 solo, now.

but, i am. the overhead door receiver doesn't accept the signal from this mirror.

the mirror in this car should be under a warranty. should the mirror be replaced so as to gain this functionality? a functionality that m-b says is a feature of the car.
