So I traded in a 2016 Pilot and got my new Passport. Overall very pleased so far, the improvements to the transmission are very noticeable and a huge improvement. But I have noticed an annoying feature of the Homelink system which is now mounted in the rear view mirror. It seems to be very directional in that it doesn't want to work if the car is facing away from the garage door. When driving towards the door the Homelink works from 50 feet away, but when backing in or worse still having driven out but facing away from the garage , the Homelink doesn't work, even it I am so close that the rear of the car is almost touching the door....nothing. I keep having to get out of the car to manually close the garage door.

Unfortunately I am one of those people that likes to back into my garage so this is a very annoying feature.

Try it with the rear hatch open.

Tried it but no change......

My Home Link works well when facing away from the gate I’m closing. I think the PP works better than my 16 Pilot. Maybe try reprogramming or try to use one of the other buttons and see if it works any better. Just a thought

I tried programming all the butons but still can't get it to work. Seems very directional !!
