it is weird which rolling code did it detect since I am not pressing anything?!

which video specifically?
If you did not press the button on the fob maybe somebody started the configuration for the button but did not complete it, I suggest deleting and starting again.
To delete the button I think you swipe left or right on the screen.
This YouTube video is clear:

Disregard my instructions in previous post, it was from memory when watching those videos in the manual those with the same music and no narrative.

I have deleted it many many times
Even tried the II or III button.

Porsche dealer recognized that something was stuck but they refuse/dont know how to solve it

Have you tried holding buttons I & III at the same time for 10-20 seconds? Once it flashes it resets the module, at least it did on the older Porsches.
Next would be a 12v reset, remove the negative 12v terminal, that should sort the PCM if stuck.

I have tried everything. The dealer is no longer helping (actually they never helped)
I am so disappointed with the Porsche customer service. Toyota has better service

I have a question for anyone who might have homelink:

when you are at the sync mode d , and you press any of the buttons on the mirror. the blinking white led is blinking fast or slow?

Chatgpt (my last resort) says it should blink slowly while pressing the button on the mirror and when I press the button on the remote (while holding the button on the mirror) it should blink fast when it recognises the code. After that I should proceed to the PRG button on my garage door.

Mine is blinking instantly fast and chatgpt says that means the homelink is stuck in transmitting and not learning mode and should be reseted only by dealer.

Have you tried the Homelink website?

For Macan EV (same as Taycan with mirror buttons) - example for a Garador opener (search your own) - https://homelink.com/program/115/transmitters

https://homelink.com/program

If it worked before then it should be re-parable again.

If it didn’t work before then it is possible there is a compatibility issue with the code. If your door opener uses a proprietary rolling code then Homelink won’t be able to decipher it. I had this issue with my Taycan. Solution was to add a Universal Receiver (UR) to the opener and then use that remote to train Homelink.

your best move is to refer to the user guide for the garage door opener. I was not successful until i read in the manual how to put it in program mode, it wasn't intuitive from the buttons on the opener itself. Once you get it in program mode, the instructions on the car work, except that you might have to push the button on the mirror more than the two times they say. I had to push mine three times before the door moved.

Is your garage door actually Homelink?
I got one that's otherwise good, but wasn't Homelink by default.
I had to talk to the manufacturer and they sent a homelink compatible opener, and when using that one, programming worked.
(This is some license payment trademark shenanigans AFAICT)
