Do I need a repeater for each car with one garage door opener?

No you just program each car's homelink button to the one repeater. If you had two doors to control you would need a separate repeater for each garage door.

No, one repeater - I have 4 car units , the opener unit that comes with the repeater is a master and is not a car unit. It must be kept for programming the repeater.

One repeater kit should work for as many cars a normal opener would. They function in the same way, so you should have no issues.

Absolutely, it does. I have two new Chamberlain openers, 4 vehicles, all needed the repeater. I don't know how it works but it does. Apparently it can be used with unlimited doors and remotes. Here's how it's programmed in a nut shell: RESET your current homelink remotes in your cars that need the repeater (meaning if one of your vehicles work now, leave it alone. Make sure this repeater IS NOT PLUGGED IN! Now program WITH the new remote that comes with the repeater to any buttons you want to use for the repeater. After all the homelink buttons are programmed with the new repeater remote, plug the repeater in. Put the new repeater remote away as it's not needed any more. Now using the learning technique for your openers, program your homelink buttons in your vehicles to your openers. The repeater takes care of the "conversion" of signals received from the homelink remotes and the openers. At first one button in one of my cars would open both doors. I got confused on this so I did all I wrote above from the start again. Everything is perfect. Pretty darn cool I must say. Currently my repeater is plugged into the wall of my garage and it reaches all my doors just fine. I will eventually move it to the ceiling where one of my openers are plugged in but it's not needed.

It is possible, but you will want to check with Chamberlain first to see if it requires a repeater kit. In 2007 they introduced a new security scheme, and Homelink provided compatible equipment, but not all car manufacturers started using it right away. In fact, as late as 2011 some car makers were still using the old Homelink technology that would not work with the new Chamberlain stuff "out of the box". So you will want to confirm with both Chamberlain and Chevrolet if your year and model car will be able to transmit the new codes. If not, there is an add-on repeater that will receive your Homelink signal and translate it to the new Chamberlain security codes, but it is about $50 retail itself. However, this unit IS what you would be looking for to attach to your gate opener to receive signals from your Homelink or a remote. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer, but there are a lot of variables. May be better to buy one locally that you can return easily if you cannot get your Homelink to work with it.

It is programmed to work with just one opener. You could program it for another opener, but then it would lose the programming for the first opener.

Most likely not, I asked the same question to my gate opener technician, he told me the car remote is design for the garage door, which has different frequency to the gate opener., Even in some new car models they do have the same frequency to open the gate like the technician wife's car, she is very disappointed with the range, she almost has to stop right beside the gate to be able to open it., I have a question to ask people myself, I I bought a Aleko LM176 Electric Lock , the lock work fine, but I just can't get the gate opener to unlock it, anybody has the similar problem? if you know the solution, please kindly let me knowThanksJames Most likely not, I asked the same question to my gate opener technician, he told me the car remote is design for the garage door, which has different frequency to the gate opener., Even in some new car models they do have the same frequency to open the gate like the technician wife's car, she is very disappointed with the range, she almost has to stop right beside the gate to be able to open it., I have a question to ask people myself, I I bought a Aleko LM176 Electric Lock , the lock work fine, but I just can't get the gate opener to unlock it, anybody has the similar problem? if you... » Read More Most likely not, I asked the same question to my gate opener technician, he told me the car remote is design for the garage door, which has different frequency to the gate opener., Even in some new car models they do have the same frequency to open the gate like the technician wife's car, she is very disappointed with the range, she almost has to stop right beside the gate to be able to open it., I have a question to ask people myself, I I bought a Aleko LM176 Electric Lock , the lock work fine, but I just can't get the gate opener to unlock it, anybody has the similar problem? if you know the solution, please kindly let me knowThanksJames « Show Less

Yes but not necessary unless you have two network providers. Unlimited amount of users can log on to one repeater.this box merely amplifies the router signal.

No, unless you have an AutoPage alarm system with the same type remote. You can't use any type of remote, because they need to be digitally coded to the car or alarm system.

If you have one garage door motor then you will only need one Garage Butler. If you have two wall buttons and two garage door motors then you will need two Garage ButlersBill Support@garagebutler.com

Do you mean when using the 855LM HomeLink Repeater? Then yes. I can sometimes count up to 3 -1,000s before the door responds (i.e. 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand, 3 one thousand). It's a small annoyance IMO - I prefer to use the HomeLink mirror that I added to my car anyway and that beats having to keep the standard remote hanging on my visor.

The short answer is maybe. You do need one per garage door opener unit. I suppose, in theory, you could wire a single receiver in to multiple openers units, but then you're locked into (if there are two) them both opening and closing at the same time.

Some cars have garage opener buttons built into them, e.g. mine has garage opener buttons on the bottom of the rear view mirror, others have them on the overhead console or on the driver side visor. This system is called Homelink. Once the garage opener remote control's signal is programmed into teh system, you do not need to use the garage opener remote control anymore, you just push a Homelink button in your car and the garage door opens. Many older garage openers (in my case Marantec Elite 2007) use frequency which is incompatible with the Homelink system in the car. This makes it impossible to program the signal into the Homelink. This external receiver IS compatible with the Homelink, so it can be connected to an incompatible garage opener and then the signal from this receiver's remote is programmed into the Homelink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeLink_Wireless_Control_System http://www.homelink.com/about

I think you'd need to buy one for each location. I have a second driveway system from a different manufacturer, and it chimes three times when tripped, as opposed to twice, as this unit does. This way, I can tell which location is alerting.

Just to clarify things... There are usually three (3) HomeLink buttons in each vehicle, and each of those buttons in each vehicle can be programmed individually, to operate a different Chamberlain/Liftmaster/Sears Garage Door Opener.

No you don't need a repeater. The doors are glass panels. I left the glass out my self foe ventilation. I have no problems with remote control. I have my stereo/ blu ray/ and cable box all in the cabinet and all work with no problems.

Yes. When you program your remotes, by holding down the button on the opener, you have to reset all your remote devices including you car.

No, can only program one at a time. It saves your original program so you would have to go back to stock in order to start programming a different vehicle.
