I don't ever go to Fecebook (I have all fecebook hosts/domains blocked
in my HOSTS file) so I can't say what they're all about.

But if you go to ebay and search for EVIC 300m you'll see a few dozen
for sale. Apparently they were the same units for some Jeeps too?

Prices are from $30 to $100. I'd pick one up from ebay if I were you -
the cheapest that looks like the right one.

Also -> Note this.

Some have suggested that the type of lights you have installed in the
garage door motor unit will affect reception - although I would think it
would affect the unit's remote button as well as the Homelink radio.

Try removing the lights and see if you get your range back. The idea is
that incandecsent bulbs cause little or no interference, but CFL's and
LED's can (or do).
