Question 1

Is this compatible with the Homelink opener that is already built into my car? I tried programming it for about 30 minutes, but had no luck.

Accepted Answer

I was unable to program either one of my two Toyota Camry (2007 and 2018) Homelink systems to work with our new Ghost Controls gate system. Used two different remotes that worked on their own. Spent about 30-45 minutes, followed the instructions exactly, kept the buttons pressed until they timed out on their own -- at least 2 minutes -- no sign of recognitiion by the Homelink systems. My Genie garage door opener signals were previously cloned on both cars without difficulty, and continue to work.

Question 2

How fast will it open

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question depends entirely on the amount of angle that you're opening and closing. Mine, for a 90° angle, takes approximately 8 to 10 seconds to fully open and a little bit longer than that to fully close as one side begins closing a couple seconds before the other side...(safety and incase there is an overlap lip on the gate). Open 10 seconds close 14 seconds.

Question 3

can you use a 12 volt marine battery?

Accepted Answer

Any 12-volt battery may work however a 12-volt marine battery may be too large to fit in a standard battery box housing. If you're using the ghost control battery housing you can fit two12-volt by 8-ah batteries which is perfect for a double gate. If you're only using one gate you would only need one 12V 8AH battery. And you can set it up for either solar charging or hardwire operation with battery backup.

Question 4

Can i salvage any of my current gto installation parts if i switch to ghost? namely wired sensor, call box key pad, battery, push to open brackets.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can salvage some of the items listed including the battery and the wired vehicle sensor.  The keypad and push-to-open brackets are not compatible with Ghost Controls.  We operate on a different frequency and use a double-shear rear mount so these items will not work with Ghost Controls.  Thank you for your interest.  We are here to assist you.
