Garage door opener issues

I put a Mo-door garage door opener on my wifes 2018 F3 Limited. The issue I am having is after I open or close the door and then the spyders radio comes on the garage door opener actuates on its own (ie I originally close the door and when the radio comes on the door opens)? Has anyone else had this problem? I have a 2014 Genie garage door opener

Spooky....

Not familiar with the items used but do have to say that is spooky... :roflblack: I did have a garage door that would open when certain planes flew over the house...
 
Another nail in the coffin of the '18 models.
I REALLY feel sorry for you guys.

Is your remote on the Spyder hardwired or is it just a hand-held unit mounted somewhere ?

I think it will be a cold day in hell before BRP will be able or willing to help with that problem.

If you have your remote powered from the Spyder, you might have to switch to a battery powered "clicker".
 
I have a 17 F3 limited with a mo-door single door opener hooked up on the right side of my dash, the button opposite the Heated grips button. I haven’t had any problems with the radio Going on and the door opening. The only problemI sometimes have is when I turn my bars all the way to the right the bars sometimes hit the button. This was the first accessory I put on my bike, Mo-door made a great option. It has its own battery pack so it doesn’t need to be hard wired to the motorcycle battery. Call Mo-door, they will probably be able to help you out.
 
No problems here. I have one remote in the car and the other remote with the bike of the day. I used to have a car that the remote paired up with the electronics and the button was on the visor. Not on the current one though.

Bottom line: they open and shut the garage door when I want them to.

So, the OP didn't have anything bad to say about hos 2018 Spyder, said he installed the Mo-door opener and is having problems with it, and that somehow is a nail in the 2018 Spyder coffin and BRP should help with it!

The Mo-door opener is a stand alone garage door opener that is added to a bike and has a switch that activates it. You can use a factory style switch as shown here, http://www.mo-door.com/Can-Am_Spyder_Toggle_Switch.html
or one of their other style switches.

If it didn't do it before the Mo-door opener was installed, then I would think it was an issue with Mo-door. My understanding of the Mo-door opener is it is easily removed from the bike, remove or disable it and see if the radio activates the opener. If it does not, then the Mo-door would be the issue and I would contact them. If the door is activated by the radio when the Mo-door is removed, I would then contact BRP.

Yes. The problem ONLY occurs when he powers up something ON THE SPYDER.
How/why would you think that the Spyder is NOT somehow involved in that problem ???

Without the Spyder in the picture, the door opener works fine......presumably.
Your logic is flawed.

No I read the entire post. It only happens when the radio is turned on and the Mo-door is on the Spyder. You are assuming that it all works well when it is not installed on the Spyder, and you know what happens when you assume!
Yes the Spyder is involved by the fact that it is there, however it does not mean that Spyder has a malfunction or problem, it could be the Mo-door that has a problem.
If the same thing happens without the Mo-door present, then it would be the Spyder. If he mounts any other remote he has in the same spot and it does not activate when the radio is on, it is the Mo-door with the problem. If the radio activates the door with his other remotes present, then the Spyder is the problem.

I just believe in doing my due diligence on research before I blame a problem on someone or something.
 
Revren Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread or cause an argument, just want to see if the problem can be narrowed down instead of jumping to conclusions.

But apparently you didn't understand it.

I'm pretty sure that it is next to impossible for the garage door to activate when the Spyder radio is turned on.......without the remote being present somewhere close by.

I quit.

THANK YOU SO MUCH (yes I know that was yelling). You found our problem. Apparently at the spot in and out of the garage the bars were turned full right causing the bars to hit the button ......and at the exact same time the radio came on or was shutting off which had nothing to do with the issue. Not sure if there is anything that can be done due to the button placement other than keeping an eye on the door when leaving to ensure it stays closed.

On a side note, my wife LOVES her 2018, and has no issues to date.

more f3's should have this!

After having my 13 St-s(which I loved) for four 1/2 years and having to fudge around in my pockets for the door opener , as soon as I saw the Mo-Door It was the 1st farkle on my F3! Easy install, its own power source- what could be better. Check out slingmod.com or Revzilla.com to buy. You won't be dissapointed. Wow there were a couple of keyboard tangents going on there for a bit. Life is short -Lets Ride!!!
 
By the way Revrent, where did u put the battery pack- put mine under the left side info panel- also outlining it with a paint marker- the right panel by oil level checker just seemed a little tight.

Why don't you put a extra door opener in your glove box? Works for me.

Cost: $0, because I already had an extra remote.
Power: It has it's own built-in battery.
Time to install: About 10 seconds. Mine is actually clipped to the top of the dash overhang by shoving the attached bracket inside the "safety card" slot.

:thumbup:
 
I know this sounds crazy but....

I have a Lift Master opener on my garage door, I got an extra opener
and opened it up to expose the printed circuit board, using a test light
from Auto Zone I found the 2 points on it that are connected to the button,
I soldered wires to those points and ran them to a button I installed in my dash
I put the opener under the plastic behind the dash... mine is an older RS.
now all I do is push that button and the door opens I have only had to change the
9 volt battery one time in about 4 years. Total cost 2 wires and a push button from
Auro Zone.
