I live in a gated community and some neighbors told me they can press a button in their car (not a Fit) and activate the gate without having to use the old school hand-held remote provided by the HOA.

I checked out the Technology Reference Guide for my 2015 EX CVT Fit but could find any set-up instructions.

Can this be done?

Thanks as always.

 

Have no idea but am gonna guess, no, can't be done. Sorry...

 

Most likely, they are referring to a Bluetooth accessory, does your Fit have something like that, mine doesn't.

 

Sounds like a HomeLink (HomeLink) setup. You can get rear view mirrors with that capability and add it on, it's not an offered dealer option on the Fit.

 

My advice is ignore what "The Neighbors" are doing....
You own a Fit.

Go Old School and just use the remote. What BIG difference does it make what button you happen to be pressing in your car....Home Owners Association provided remote or otherwise?

 

Clip-on remotes are a convenient place to store traffic tickets.




Seriously: I too, think your neighbors are using a Homelink setup. If you have a garage maybe you should get one. Most have three buttons.

HomeLink

I see in the link above, they have visor and headliner mounted units as well as mirrors. Check it out.

OP here. Yeah, I know, first-world problems. I was just curious and appreciate the humor of Fit community.

 

Homelink will work if it is not a rolling code type remote. Well even if it was, if you can access the 'learn' button on the gate opener u will be able to open the gate from the homelink mirror.

 

I'd just park outside of the gate and walk home. That way, all of the neighbors could see my cool Fit.

Problem solved -- and it will "make your gas mileage great again!"



But seriously, I have been thinking about looking for a home link rear view mirror if it could be powered easily (don't want to run power lines to it). I haven't started that research yet. I'll be using remotes in the meantime.
