No Garage Door Opener option?

[chris.bryan]

I bought a 2024 Lightning Lariat, I really like the truck but I’m don’t understand why it doesn’t have an option to program a garage door opener???? Every car and truck I have had for the last 20+ years has had an option to program your garage door opener frequency so you don’t need to have a separate clip on opener to your visor.
Am I missing something here?

So you don’t have the home link buttons on the sun visor? Does the sun visor have lighted mirror?

I believe this was one of the deletes on the 24s and has been covered elsewhere on the forum with all the other deletes!

Ford cutting costs. Homelink was eliminated in 2024 for Lariat. See this thread for some options to add it back:

As long as your sun visor has a lighted mirror you can just buy a new visor that has homelink in it and it will be plug and play. If not then you’d just have to run a power and ground up to it which is easy enough. I did that when I had my XLT PB.

Wow!

That is sad.

Cutting cost?! Terrible you go from XLT to Lariat for $30k you should get the built in opener. Well guess it’s just the leather seats for that price?

Seems like something Lariat should have, but to be honest, CarPlay (or the Android Auto equivalent I assume) is a better solution, or at least more secure. Opening the garage door is just as easy, button on the screen instead of on the visor, but it only works if your phone is present and connected. That way if someone breaks into your truck they don't also have access to your garage.

Or does the HomeLink thing only work when the key fob is present? That'd be just as secure
