Smart Garage Connectivity
WARNING: Do not use the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver with a device that does not have safety
stop and reverse features. Using a device without
these safety features increases the risk of injury or
death.
Supported Modes
myQ
HomeLink supports three different transmit modes,
(If equipped) Model Y can intelligently connect to your
myQ smart garage, which allows you to remotely
monitor and control your garage door through the
vehicle's touchscreen. This is convenient if you forget to
close your garage door, want to allow friends and family
inside, or need the garage to open or close
which is how your vehicle and the RF device
communicate. Selecting a transmit mode is determined
by your RF device's compatibility:
• Standard Mode: Use Standard Mode if your RF device
is equipped with a remote control that must be used
to operate the device (for example, a remote-
controlled garage door). This mode is the most
commonly used transmit mode for HomeLink
devices.
automatically when your vehicle is detected nearby.
Follow these steps to set up myQ on your vehicle:
1. Your garage door must be myQ compatible. Use the
• D-Mode or UR-Mode: Use D-Mode or UR-Mode if the
RF device does not have a remote control, and the
receiver has a "Learn" button (may also be called
"Program" or "Smart"). D-Mode and UR-Mode
function similarly in that Model Y communicates
directly with the device's receiver as opposed to the
remote control.
2. Ensure your garage is Wi-Fi compatible. myQ uses
Wi-Fi to communicate with your smart phone and
vehicle. Some garages will have a Wi-Fi or myQ
symbol on the hub. Your garage must have a strong
Wi-Fi signal to control and monitor your garage
through your vehicle.
NOTE: D-Mode is used primarily in North America
whereas UR-Mode is popular in Europe, the Middle
East, and Asia. To determine the mode your device is
compatible with, contact HomeLink
NOTE: If your garage is not compatible, you may be
able to purchase an external myQ hub to use this
functionality.
3. Download the myQ app from your smart phone's app
store. Use the app to set up your account information
and pair the garage to your phone. myQ requires a
paid subscription for use, which you can purchase in
the app.
Each of your devices can be set to a different mode. For
example, your garage door can be set to Standard
Mode, your front gate can be set to D-Mode, etc. To
change a transmit mode, touch the HomeLink icon at
the top of the Controls screen and select the device you
want to change. Then, select Program and choose the
desired mode for your device. Confirm by touching Set
Mode and follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Check that your vehicle is running the latest available
software version and has Wi-Fi or LTE connectivity.
5. Touch the garage icon at the top of the touchscreen
or navigate to Controls > Locks > myQ Connected
Garage > Link Account and follow the instructions to
pair the garage with Model Y. Once paired,
monitoring and controlling the garage becomes
available on the touchscreen, where you can
customize myQ further.
For older vehicles, changing the mode for one device
changes the mode for all devices, so be careful when
changing transmit modes. Devices not compatible with
your selected mode may not work. Touch the HomeLink
icon at the top of the touchscreen, then touch Change
Transmit Mode.

NOTE: Check the product information for your
HomeLink device to determine which mode is
compatible with your device.
