Default Replace the car sensor?

Third paragraph: Just clarifying - you purchased an updated HomeLink sensor for the Porsche and replaced the existing sensor? I see the cover in the front seems to be easy to remove and replace the sensor. I also have the newer Liftmaster garage door, Wifi etc. Door is 2020, car is 2005. Unable to program using the car manual instructions. Thank you.

I kinda gave up on getting mine to pair. I have a liftmaster gate and garage door opener. I ended up just putting the remote on my sunvisor.

correct. Bring your car into the 2010s and upgrade the home link module. Literally everything works as it should. I used a used module from a 2017 macan.

no garage opener made after 2015 will work with the stock module in our cars. The new module looks exactly the same and doesn’t even require any hardware removal (except for the bumper). There’s really no reason not to do this mod.

What Porsche part number is the 2017 Macan module? Thanks.

Where is the module located on a 997.1?
