Well after much playing around I have finally gotten the Homelink buttons in my 2002 Durango to send X-10 codes! Here's what I did (your mileage may vary):
First I had to delete the factory codes from the system.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
1) Turn the ignition to the 'accessory' position
2) Press and hold the 2 outer Homelink buttons, after about 20 seconds the indicator light will begin to flash, continue holding until the indicator goes out.[/list]
Then I had Homelink learn the X-10 commands.
I used the "X-10 ActiveHome" remote (model JR20A) for these steps. And an "X-10 PowerHouse" Transceiver module (model RR501) for testing.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
1) Press and hold the Homelink button that you want to program, continue holding for about 20 seconds and the indicator light will begin flashing slowly. Continue holding through the next step!!
2) Now hold your remote about 1" from the Homelink console and press the button of the command that you want HomeLink to learn. Continue holding both buttons until the HomeLink indicator begins flashing rapidly, then release both buttons.[/list]
That's all there is too it!
I programmed button 1 to send "A1 On" and button 2 to send "A1 Off". So now when I'm pulling out of the driveway I can put the house into "away" mode, and when I arrive home I can light my path to the door.
I'm currently building an antenna for the MR26A, once it's done I'll let you know what my range is.
