HD Garage Door Opener / Liftmaster
#41
My advice is to take the HD garage opener back and demand your money back. It is CRAP!. My 1st one did not work at all, not even a red lite on the unit plugged into 110v. 2nd one raised and lowered the door twice before quitting. 3rd worked for 6 months. as a side note, "fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice shame on me ...three times...but, I only paid once.
I think the unit installed on the bike just can't handle vibration...imagine that.

Chamberlain MyQ smart openers
After a dozen or more emails to Harley support and Chamberlain support everyone had things to try but none worked. The consensus is the new openers (Genie too) hat have the smart control wall units the automatically close the doors, turn the lights on/off, display status messages, hook to the wireless internet for remote control, etc. wouldn't work because even though there's only two wires there are serial messages being sent between the opener and the wall switch. Every time I triggered the Harley opener it reset the clock on the wall unit and the door didn't open.
I got around the problem by buying another Chamberlain 3 button remote ($35) and soldered the two wires from the Harley receiver unit to the chamberlain remote opener button switch on the little circuit board in the remote.
When I activate the Harley unit by flashing my bright lights it it activates the chamberlain remote and opens/closes the door. I just wire tied the remote up by the Harley receiver out of the way.
All the smart feature, auto close, clock, temperature, motion detector, etc work fine.
More importantly so does my Harley opener.

I did the same. It's a simple soloution. I bought a 12 v version and removed the battery and pluged into the extra power wire near the head light the other to a common ground. works flawlesly.

A few years ago I replaced my overhead garage door openers and replaced them with Chamberlain Liftmaster "flush" wall mount openers.
My car has the "homelink"mirro mounted system for opening garage doors and it works fine for both garage doors.
My wife's car (a lease) for some reason will NOT work either door.
When I got my'13 CVO Ultra, it came with the bike unit already mounted and the garage unit came in a box.
I got my bike later in the season so I didn't waste a lot of valuable riding time messing with the remote stuff.
Last spring I got serious about the darn thing and after many hours and a couple of days trying different things that didn't work.
In desperation I called the help number that came with the installation instructions for my garage openers.
They gave me a local number for a service center and the lady managed to find the schematic for my opener and told me to change a couple of wires on the wiring "pole" and my opener now works like a charm.
I haven't tried to program my wife's "homelink" yet but I'm hopeful that it will work.
My suggestion would be to find your local Chamberlain service center.

If your Chamberlain / Liftmaster opener has the Security+2.0 system, then check this out:
There is a modification to the receiver that makes it fully compatible. There is also an inline module that is completely plug-n-play.

Also works for Craftsman AssureLink.

You're a life saver, even a year later. Glad I found your post here. I just soldered mine up and it works flawlessly. Thanks!

Thanks
THANK YOU FunkyFungus. You th MAN. Your solution worked perfect for me. I have had my 2014 Limited CVO for several months. I did not have a GDO for my shop so was not able to utilize the Harley remote opener that came with my bike. So I invested in a Chamberlain GDO and did the install myself. My shop was not wired for a opener which meant that I had to install a receptacle for the unit. Also, I had to relocate an overhead light that was exactly where the GDO had to go. Bottom line was much to my dismay after I had all the work completed; my HD unit would not open the door. After spending several days trying everything I could think to make it work I was resigned to mounting one of the openers that came with the GDO on my bike as some have done. Then I found your post and now my unit works perfectly.

Modifications & interfaces now available online
Due to the popularity of the modification that I developed on eBay, I have also developed a plug-n-play inline module that simply connects in between your receiver and garage door opener (via the existing control cable). Both items are available through the eBay link in my previous post, as well as online at www.creativeaccesssolutions.com . A universal module will soon be available as well which will directly interface any legacy device with the new Security+ 2.0 garage door openers.
