I could be wrong, but i dont think the CT is compatible with Homelink. They switched it to MyQ which needs yet another subscription. You can use it free on your phone, but for Tesla you need a subscription.
You are correct. It’s completely idiotic.

This is where carplay MIGHT help. I think you can use Apple shortcuts with it and there are plenty of homekit compatible garage door openers iirc.

Just do the free trail of myQ and before it expires they should offer you a discounted subscription. I got 5 years for about 150. I am able to use it on my cybertruck and model y

The biggest problem with the MyQ system is that it requires specific garage door openers, and it works with few of the gate openers. And many folks don't have an adequate Wi-Fi signal out where a gate controller is located. The lack of a HomeLink module in the CT is one of its biggest shortcomings as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, in my CarPlay vehicles, the “dashboard view” will just show your garage doors when you get close, no need for a shortcut. I bought a couple of these, work with almost any garage door. Also I would see if they have a Matter version instead of HomeKit, it’ll be more compatible and work better.

you can buy a kit from chamberlain to make it MyQ compatible for any opener. It’s cheap too, like 30 bucks

Can't wait for Carplay, I have the same problem, My garage is app control but is not compatible in the CT so I am stuck having the remote on my Visor.

I have both - myQ is superior aside from the internet requirement.
I have both too. In what way is it superior other than being able to tell you the door status (open or closed) ?

I am confused as well.

Homelink is quicker, can stop operations mid open/close, doesn't have that odd transition from internet to cell, etc.

I have homelink on my MS and it's vastly superior than the MYQ in the CT.

Same with our x. Much prefer it with home link.
