How to Program a Garage Door Opener to a Vehicle

i used a wall mount keypad, in lieu of any actual visor-mount remotes, to teach the buttons in an 04 Avalanche...

Hi, my genie 1/2 hp does not have a learn button in the front , it uses the 12 pin link system. Can I still link up the car?

Thank You so much for the information! I was going crazy thinking I couldn't follow the instructions in the owners manual and wondering what I was doing wrong!

I am so frustrated at NONE of these suggestions can sync my system!! Chrysler 2016 Pacifica

I have a double door garage. When I moved into this house, 5 months ago, there was a Craftsman garage door opener on one door and the other was a manual open. I programmed buttom 3 on my 2005 Lexus Homelink to work with the Craftsman opener. A couple of days ago I had a Chamberlain 1/2 HP Chain Drive installed on the other garage door and have tried numerous times, unsuccessfully, to program button 1 on the Homelink in my car to the Chamberlain remote. The Homelink light blinks slowly and after some time just goes out. Do I have to clear both Homelink codes and then program button 1 and re-program button 3?

Thanks

I have a several year old Genie accelerator opener - model ISD 1000. My original wireless keypad system stopped functioning. So purchased a new Genie wireless keypad. Model GK-R. Programming went fine and it works as expected. Then I discovered the homelink remote control built in to my 2009 Camry Toyota quit working. So I reprogrammed it and it worked fine. But now - yep, you guessed it - the new wireless keypad no longer functions. Looks like an endless cycle. Not sure how I get them both functional. Any ideas?

Sweeps, just wanted to tell you that you're an amazing man for supplying the public with 7 YEARS worth of advice on this post. Wow. And yes....it helped me to!

Got a band new Nissan Maxima Platinum. I have tried your method several times and it does not work. DUH.

Is it possible to program 2 cars with only one hand-held remote?

We have a Dalton Quantum and a brand new 2016 Range Rover. If I'm reading the previous comment correctly, the actual garage door opener is too old to connect to the car? I've tried to connect the car to the actual unit as well as connect the car to the remote. Nothing has worked.

I have a Dalton Quatum opener that I can't program to my car. The opener is so about 14 years old and have been told by Dalton that the opener is too old, is that possible?

That was easy, thanks for the help!!!

I have a biltek SL600ACL gate opener. I can't get the keypad are homelink on my cars to program with it. Only the remotes it comes with work. It is 433.92mhz. What can I buy or do to make it work right?

I am trying to configure a 2000 Yukon and a 1140ml, Chamberlain. I have read all instructions. When pushing the lean button, it's red light stays on for about 60 seconds. I can't seem to get the two units to communicate. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

Not sure if this really fits here, since it's not a car I'm trying to program, it's a remote. But here's what I want to do....

I have a Genie Excellerator opener, purchased about 10 years ago, with Intellicode II, and the three-button Genie remote that came with it. My current lady-friend has a year old home that had a new Sears opener installed. So what we're wondering is....can we program her Sears opener to one of my Genie remote buttons, and my Genie opener to one of her Sears remote buttons? Or is this sort of cross-brand issue only resolved by buying new "universal" remotes?

I did try programming one of the buttons on my Genie to her Sears, just by using her keypad, which didn't work. I'm not sure if getting up on the ladder to open up her receiver and use the actual Learn button would be any different, so thought I'd ask here first if this is even worth trying, or if it's just not possible to use Genie remotes with Sears openers and vice-versa.

I finally got my garage doors wired with the buttons. I don't have a remote. I'm trying to program my car's button to open the garage door and I've followed all the steps and it does not want to program. What am I do wrong? I press the Learn button on the garage door opener and go to my car and press the button twice for 2 seconds each and nothing. HELP!

I appreciate the suggestion, which I just tried; however, I had no luck. Rats!

Help! I bought a new Linear garage door opener today, and I'm trying to set the remote in my 2009 Malibu. I've followed the instructions in the owner's manual (as well as yours). First, note that I was able to program my previous opener. Also, earlier this evening, I was able to program my daughter's opener. Any thoughts?

Yea! finally works AFTER tapping the learn button while wife holding down button on car

Many thanks

Fred & Barbara

I just moved to a new house without a remote but I do have a key pad can I program my car from the key pad ?

Hi, I have a Saab 95, 2008. The mirror will go in learning mode(first and last buttons for 20sec), but then will not learn from my remote. I press any buttons on the mirror and then the one on the remote, I did cycle the remote button too(rolling codes), but nothing. The car manual states the same procedure for programming.

Any suggestion will help.

Thank you

Do you have any advice on an older unit that does not have a smart button?

I have a 2011 Tahoe, and 2 liftmaster garage door openers. I can program the openers with no problem EXCEPT that I can not get one button in Tahoe to operate just one garage door. When I program one button, it operates both doors. I have cleared out the memory in the tahoe, started all over, same thing. I even disconnected one garage door opener from power,programmed the other opener to the button (after clearing memory again) in the Tahoe. When I plugged it back in, it still operated by the button. The liftmasters are the same model, green learn button. They have been programmed to my Tahoe in the past, but we wanted to switch the buttons (parking Tahoe in different side of garage.) So what is different now??

Thanks so much. I'll try that. Appreciate the help.

It is square and red. I have the controller in the garage on the wall and a keypad outside. Will either of those work?

I have a 2016 GMC Acadia and a lift master garage door. I don't have the original remotes. I've tried everything. What can I do to get it programmed to my car?

Sweeps Luck

It didn't work. In order to check I was doing it right I cleared the remote and outdoor keypad and reset them both buy pressing the green button (light flashes on opener) with no problem. I am at the frustration point where I will just order another remote and forget trying to program the car.

Thanks for trying to help.

Just bought a BMW 2 series and can't get it to work with Liftmaster using green learn button. I had the BMW genius tech out and he was no help. I have followed the BMW instructions (Homelink) and it never seems to take the remote code so the above instructions don't help. The car Homelink system never blinks slowly why attempting to program it so I think I am stuck. I am afraid if I go and buy a new garage door opener fearing it still may not work. Any suggestions?

One more thing. The Tahoe has 3 buttons and each one has a light above it. Not sure if you need to know that.

Sweeps. I tried to read through all the posts and may have missed it so sorry. I have a Marantec M 4500 opener and just bought a 2014 Chevy Tahoe. I can't for the life of me figure out how to program the Tahoe. Can you please help?

Thanks!

Sweeps, thanks for your advice and help. It may be time for a new GDO. thanks for your time. D.P.

Hey Sweeps, thanks again for your help. I tried your instructions, in fact it had been unplugged all night. I pushed and held donwn learn button (yellow and round) for 2o seconds(little red light) and nothing seems to happen. The red light stays on until I hit a remote button. I tried holding it less, more, rapidily. and even unhooked hard wired button and tried procedure again. remove batteries from remote. don't know anymorel...lol... maybe I am not clearing machine correctly? thanks inadvance for your help. D.P.

Hi Sweeps, I have a Sears/Craftsman model 41a3516-2. I programmed another remote for it that works but now the car fob opens and closes door, (not only mine) it seems to respond to neighbours also. I tried to reset or clear it by holding button in, doesn't seem to do anything. Thank you in advance D.P.

I haven't cleared the board yet, the thing is, I use a 973LM that works perfectly and bought a 971LM as a spare, since the 973 is working I'm afraid that resseting the board will leave that remote useless and end up with two non working remotes

K, im not at home right now but I will give it a try

Orange, shows date 2013

Hello, my liftmaster 1215E only has en "erase" button, which I poke but the LED indicator does not stay on, though I tried the instructions anyway but nothing happens, I can see the light blinking when I press the button on the control but is not operating the liftmaster. Can you please help?

The homelink in both my cars have stopped working. Both were working and then they just stopped. Unable to reprogram either of them. Completely reset the opener and the two cars then tried to reprogram them and all the other remotes. Can program the keypad and four remotes. (the last two remotes because the cars won't program. Also, the light won't go out - neither automatically nor with the button. any ideas? i think the light issue is relays, maybe same for remote?

I'm having trouble programming my 2014 GMC Traverses garage door opener remote to my Wayne Dalton quantum with a brown smart button can you tell me which remote I may need to purchase to get this to work thank you

I have a Lift-master + and a Honda with homelink. Everything has worked perfectly for several years. Recently I noticed that my homelink button controls my neighbor's garage door in addition to mine. My standard remotes do not control the neighbor's door. Is this an issue I can resolve our does my neighbor need to change something on his opener?

Can I program my car to the garage door without a remote?

I lost my garage remote control ! Can i still program my garage on my 2013 toyota venza ??

We have 2mercedes suv's. programmed the newest and the older one wont work. Can we reprogram the cars and a handheld at the same time. we have family members with 2 other handhelds and one in car. Can we wipe all thwe codes on the door opener and start over?????

I have done this many times and even cleared all codes to make sure it wasn't full. I have a new 2015 Tahoe, held in the vehicle button then had someone hit the smart button once. Even tried it by hitting the smart button then holding the Vehicle button but still nothing. I reprogrammed the key pad on the house and it works fine?

finally!!!!! thank you so much!!!!!

What if i have Stanley and Came motors?

Hi I just bought a genie garage door opener modle number 3062 trying to program my acura to the garage opener where is the learn button thanks

I have a genie silent max 1000 trying to program to my 2011 Nissan Quest when training to remote light flashes slow and then goes completely off on both of my cars what am I doing wrong.

Thanks

We are having the strangest thing happen at our home - hopefully you can help -

1. We accidently cleared all remotes

2. Reprogrammed them quickly to main garage

3. Went to add 2nd garage and it somehow piggybacked onto main garage (press one button and 2 doors go up/down or one of each..- note: we pressed the middle button for the 2nd garage and it didn't appear to program)

4. Cleared all and started over - Couldn't get main door programmed but could get keypad.

5. Tried programming the second door - held the garage door opener button and pressed the second button and it didn't program the car - instead it programmed the remote to open both the main door and 2nd door now from the same button on the same remote (external) - (We weren't trying to mess with the main door at this point..)

Do you have any advice?

Quick add to just submitted (after re-reading the previous answered Q (and it's reference to holding 5)

It seems every time I press the learn to program any remote, all the others are now off channel and won't work.

Older Liftmaster/Chamberlin -

I understand how to program remotes (although reading your post, in frustration I may have held the learn button in to long - but it still seems to work).

My problem is programming more than one remote at a time. Some are not always here - or here together. Even then, trying to program 2 or 3 - plus the keypad...inevitably some don't take and I have to start over. Obviously it is a run to the keypad - and this all happens any time I may want to change Pins - even for the temporary feature.

What can I do?

Thanks

After a year and a half after buying my new car, I finally was able to get the car's universal remote to work - thanks to you !!

I've just purchased an '07 VW Touareg and cannot program the Genie opener to the vehicle. Is there an issue with Intellicode 1 or 2 with this vehicle? Does this have any effect? The car manufacturer's manual mentions that the Homelink system is compatible with 'most' openers.

It is an older Genie garage opener and I wonder if it's reached its capacity for remotes - 5? We had no problem with the Ford, this is frustrating - any help or guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot!It worked for me..

I press the learn button before I read anything! So from reading your info, I must have erase the codes ? My hand remote still works. I am trying to program my wife new car. We follow the car Manuel , but it is not working! Can you help?

Is there a certain limit of vehicles and remotes you can have programmed to it

I have a Stanley Model 2200 opener without a programing button on the door unit. Am I able to program to my 2009 Chevy Impala. I now have the car programed for a Craftsman opener at an other location.Will I be able to have both progamed for this car?

I have a Lexus and a craftsman garage door opener unfortunaltely the previous owner did not leave any remotes can I still program my car, I managed to program the keypad outside the garage door. Please help thanks carolin

Hi, I have a 2003 BMW 745Li with 3 buttons on the mirror and have cleared them several times. I tried following the instructions in the owners manual by pressing the red learn button on the back of our professional linkmaster garage door opener and pressing the homelink button 3 times in the car for 2 sec. but to no avail. I don't have a remote for the opener so what can I do to solve this issue???

Excellent instructions, but I have some updates that were missed that will help those having problems. When training the homelink in my 2011 Camry, I found that I had to do both sets of training. Also, be sure and clear the homelink buttons of any previous training before you start. Follow the manufacturers instructions. In my Camry I have 3 buttons, to clear the memory, I had to press the two outer buttons and hold until the light went out. I programmed the remote to the homelink button and to the machine. When training the button with the remote, hold the homelink button down until after the rapid flashing and the light goes off. When training the homelink to the machine, hesitate after pressing the homelink button 3 times, then press it a 4th time.

I program my car and the handhelds don't work. I reprogram handhelds and car stops working. Only have 2 remotes so no where near 5. What is going on?

Hi I have an older model Stanley UT30 B07 I am trying to pair a couple of Liftmaster remotes to it...Where would I find the learn button?

Just bought a new Toyota Venza and could not connect the homelink to my garage door (Genie). Pulled up your forum and tried it. It worked! You are officially my hero for the day!

Val

Thanks Joe.

I couldn't figure it out. Lexus came out and did it for me. They had to unplug the garage unit while they programmed the remote to the car, then plugged it back in to program the car to the garage unit. Not sure why, but it worked! Thanks for your response and help.

Joe,

...frustration...I have the same machine pictured above.

Seems like I have repeated your steps. I have cleared the machine, cleared the car, and can't figure it out. I am trying to program 2 cars. They are both Lexus with homelink. So after I clear the machine, I have no problem re-programming my garage remote back to the garage machine, but I can not get the car to program to the remote or the machine. Any thoughts?

I have a new 2012 buick... the manual tells me to push the two outside buttons in the car, I did... then I pressed the smart button on the Linear Garage Door opener, the light flashed and the little red led stayed on... I immediately pushed the button I wanted to use in the car and the light on the door opener flashed. 9 times I have done this (insanity defined right?) but the door still won't open. What am I doing wrong?

I am following the directions for my ford fusion and it tells about the learn button but it still won't work.. any help? linear system if that helps

We have about a 9 year old door opener. Is there anyhting we can do to program it into our built in remote in the vehicles. i was told older openers won't program in. Is there any adapter that we could add??

Thank you

I have a craftman 139.53964SRT and I'm trying to program my 2004 Yukon Denali to the garage opener what should I do. Do I need a universal remote or can I just use the garage opener thats built into the truck

the trick is, you have to have the garage remote contol extremely close to the rear view mirror.....................

Okay...Here is my issue. We have a Quantum 3213 with a wired opener and two wireless. Everything was working great until I tried to set up the remote in our Honda Ridgeline. Reading your answers above I can see where I went wrong with the programming but now neither of my wireless remotes work (nor does the pickup). The only manual I could find was for a 3214. it said...

1. Press the PROGRAM Switch button located on the garage door power head unit once. The red PROGRAM STATUS light on the motor power head unit and overhead lamp will turn on and remain lit for one minute, indicating that it is ready to learn the Transmitter.

2. Press the button on the Transmitter you wish to use to operate the door. The PROGRAM STATUS light on the power head will turn on and off three times indicating a successful learn.

3. Press the same button on the Transmitter once more to confirm operation. The opener will turn on and move the door.

It didn't work. I pushed trhe program button and the red light came on. Then I pushed and held the button on my remote. It's light came on for a second then went blank for about 12 seconds before flashing quickly. But nothing else happens. The flashing stops and the door does not open. I changed the batteries on both. I think I erased the codes from the power head and now I have to get out of the car, walk to my garage, go inside and push the wall button. Can you help?

We've moved into a different house. The garage has an opener on one side but no keypad or remotes. Can I program a remote from my old house to my car, then the car to the machine or is there no hope?

I do not have A remote that opens my Garage door..

Is there any way I can program my 2007 mercedes

to my "overhead " brand Garage door unit without a remote?? Please and thank you..

Cera

Hope you can help

I live in a multi unit condo which has a comercial garage door opener which has no access to a learn button. I have and use a visor remote. I now have a new cadillac with a built in remote. Is it possible to program the car's using only the hand held visor remote?

Hey Sweeps...VERY happy to tell you that my perseverance and bit of tech know how, I was able to get it to work FINALLY! I followed all of your instructions and had to reset the machine itself and after reprogramming everything it worked. Thank you so much. I think you may know more about Genie openers than you think! :)

Sweeps...I NEED your help! I have tried everything (except resetting the opener itself) and I still cannot get the home link to work! After I followed the steps to program my visor, it says that when the programmed button is pressed the light should be on continuously. I understand that I will have to train the car to the machine but I can only do that when the visor button is trained! I have been trying this forever and nothing works! I have a Genie 1/2 HP Model 2060L and the remote is the Genie GICT390-3BL 3-Button Remote. Thanks

Now i erased all the codes and when I push the learn button it wont stay on to reprograms the remotes. ahhh helllpppp

Hi

I have a liftmaster 1/2 and a volvo s40 2006. All lights flass everyone recognizes everyone, but no click and no door opening.. Pleasssssssseeeeeee Heellllllpppppp!!!!!!!!!!

It has a learning code button, is that similar?

I had to erase all codes in my Overhead Door opener (by pressing the learn button for 20 seconds) because each successive car programming wiped out the previous one, as Sweeps Luck stated above ( I guess I had maxed out my machine). I was worried that if I did erase everything, my handheld remotes would no longer worked. I was right. They didn't. But all I had to do was reprogram each handheld by pressing the learn button on the motor and then pressing the button on the one-button remote. It worked perfectly on both handhelds. Then I went and programmed both cars, according to the owners' manuals. Both programmings worked without wiping out the other one. Thanks Sweeps. What's funny is I called an Overhead Door technician last week describing the problem and he was stumped. He said he had never heard of such a thing and didn't know how to fix it. I guess I should call him back and explain the process to the expert.

Thanks Sweeps! It's guys like you who make the internet the wonderful, useful tool that it is. Your instructions for reprogramming the remotes, the cars, and the keypad were flawless. Much appreciated!

Hi I have 2003 Acura RL. I am having problem program the remote button on the sun viser to work with my garage door opener. I have a Lift Master opener. First I "trained" the button on my sun viser by holding 2 outside button for 30 seconds until the light flashing rapidly. Then I have someone PRESS and HOLD one of the button on the sun viser and I press the "Red-Train" button on the door opener. NOTHING happens...no light blinking or no click sound. Any suggestion what's wrong or what should I try? Thanks in advance for your help

I have an old opener and it only has the DIP switchesmon the back. Will I be able to program my new car to it. I have followed the instructions in my car but I have no

Earn button on the unit

Hey sweeps, OK I've taken the garage remote and held it close to the button in the car....held down both until the one in my car started blinking. Once it started blinking, i released the remote and had someone press the "learn" button on the garage door motor....and the light blinked but the button doesn't work in my car still? What am I doing wrong?

Hey sweeps, My wife and I both have Toyotas, one being a Camry (02) and a Prius(05)...we both want to program our cars to open the garages...I get kinda confused reading all these post...can u help??? My garage is a Liftmaster

I have two garages, and two remotes are programmed to one. I tried programming one to one, but it makes both go up/down. How do I get each to be unique?

Thanks for the help. I had my wife in the car holding the button down while I pressed the learn button. No luck. I cleared the codes on the opener and tried again, same deal. I was able to program the two remotes back that came with the house. I tested the remotes after clearing the codes just to make sure they cleared correctly. They did...

On my 2007 Saturn Aura, it says to hold the remote 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink buttons, press and hold the HomeLink button while simultaneously holding the remote button. It will flash slowly at first and then rapidly when it is accepted. I can never get it to flash rapidly. I've held it down for over a minute and it just stops blinking like it gives up...Frustrating. Any ideas? And thank you for the help. It's not often you find someone willing to help a total stranger, on the internet, for free. Much appreciated!

I have an older Sears Craftsman 41A3516-2 garage opener (remote is 139.18718). I was adding a second remote tonight for my wife and it somehow "learned" a neighbor's car remote. I need to clear that code but cannot. I have tried holding the yellow learn button on the main opener unit for over a minute and the LED will not go out!!! Does anyone know how to clear the codes???

I have had to unplug the garage opener for now so the neighbor does not open my garage every time he uses his remote.

Thanks

I just bought a used Saturn Aura XR. I don't think the homelink on the car is going into "programming mode". I've read the instructions and I am able to hold the two outside buttons and get it to flash rapidly, but when I try to program a button with my remote (I have a LiftMaster Pro) the Homelink doesn't ever flash rapidly, just slowly. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Scott

I have a 2006 honda accord that has a homelink option. I seem to have been able to program the homelink in the car from the handheld remote of my Quantum 3213. When I try to follow the directions from Wayne Dalton to match the car to the motor head it doesn't seem to work. I did see on their web site that not all of their garage doors are homelink capable. That the model numbers need to have a "U" in the model number. What do you know about that? Do I need a Homelink Compatible Transmitter?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Car companies are dumb for not telling us this. Even the car dealer didn't know why it wasn't working. Thanks for your easy to understand instructions, you saved us a lot of time and money.

Thanks so much for explaining the programming sequence...1st program the remote to the car, then the car to the opener. I wasted an hour before that thinking there was something wrong with my 02 mercedes. However, it worked exactly as you described.

Hey Sweeps,

Thanks for such a prompt reply! The remote is a Chamberlain remote Model 4333A (with 3 buttons).

The date of the manufacturing date isn't on the Board, however it's a "Controll-A-Door 4".

I'm just absolutely clueless as to what the next step should be..

Thanks again Sweeps!

Cheers,

Jeff.

Hi Sweeps Luck,

I've read like 80% of the comments above and am happy for those that got quick n easy solutions.

But I am getting frustrated with my Controlla-Door garage. The picture that you have at the beginning is exactly like mine. I have this new remote which is supposedly compatible with Controlla-door 4 garages.

I pressed and held the remote button, pressed once on the GREEN 'learn' button and there's a little green light which lights up after doing so. Nothing happens!

My wall button works though. Can't seem to figure it out!

Please help!

Regards,

Jeff.

Yes, sweeps, it's def. a Genie. What now? Thanks

Hello

I work at a car dealership. I've been trying to program my customer's vehicles to their garage door opener. They have a Volvo XC90 and a Toyota Sequoia. The traditional way of pairing does not seem to work. I even went to their house and I looked for a button on the opener but didn't see one. They have a keypad on the outside of their house that has a number pad and two buttons, one that says SEND and the other says PROG. These customers are near and dear to me and I would love to be able to save the day. Please Help!

Warmly,

Erica

Hi Sweeps Luck,

I moved into a new house, I wasn't given remotes for the garage. My 2 cars can be programmed for garage openers. What is the best way to program, do I need to buy new remote and program it first and then program my car?

I have lift master.

Vasu

My Genie 1/2 hp garage door opener was not working right. After lubricating the rollers on the door it is operating right now, but the remote and the remote in the car is no longer working. Any ideas?

Hi Sweeps Luck,

I have a 2006 Honda Civic. Can my keyless remote for my car be programmed to open my garage door? We have a Craftsman (1/2hp) garage door opener and the learn button is green. The keyless remote for my car can only lock and unlock the car.

Thank you for answering what I hope is not too dumb a question. W

i bought a new expedition and i have a quantum 3213 garage door opener. i followed all the instructions and it still won't work. help

Thanks find it right after I commented THX

Just bought new house, no remote to garage. can i setup the car without remote?

both of my remotes are broken for the opener. My opener became unprogramed due to "user error". How do I program my car to open the door without the original remotes?

Purple!

I will check in the morning - it's either purple or orange. (I don't know because we just moved into this house and there are 2 different garage door openers and one is orange and one is purple. I am pretty sure the one in question is purple, like 95% sure, but I will check in the morning.) I really don't want to buy a regular remote because all I am going to do with it is program our cars!! What a waste.

Help?!? I have a universal remote meant for a LiftMaster. I am having a hard time programming it to work, which I need to program the LiftMaster to our cars. Our opener is the 41AC050-2M. The universal remote is the 375LM. This opener has a keypad on the outside of the garage door. Everytime I try to program it to anything, it thinks I am trying to program the keypad. I am able to reprogram the keypad but am unable to program a remote, which I need to get the car remotes to work. Any advice? Thanks!

I lost the remote for my vacation ham, but the signal is progammed into my car. Can I teach a new remote from the car?

I have a Genie 2060L and I have tried everything! I tried holding the remote to the Homelink..that didn't work. I tried clearing all the remotes by holding down the learn button..and then tried programming the Homelink first...that didn't work! Now what? So frustrating!

We bought a new home and my car was programmed in my old garage. How can I re-program it with my new garage door. I have Linear garage door opener in my new home.

Thanks

my ex girlfriend has her truck programmed to our garage and now that she is gone I don't want her to have access....do I have to change the whole system?

Bought a 2007 Silverado with built in remote. Directions are different depending on wether it has one LED over buttons or 3 LED's Mine has the 3 LED's and instruction say nothing about programing hand held remote to truck buttons, only to program truck buttons to garage door unit using the learn button. I have tried everyway possible. Any advise?

We just programmed two of our vehicles to our garage door opener. Now, our daughter's remote will not open the garage. Does it need to be reprogrammed?

The remote is a Sears dated 09/07 and the number is TX2028. I am pretty sure her learn button on the Chamberlain is Red but I'll have to check tomorrow. I know from the remotes on sale that they seem to separate them from prior to 2005 and after 2005 I would guess that her place was built prior to 2005 but don't know for sure.

Thanks for your help! It is very much appreciated

Hi, I have a Craftsman remote (for my garage) but my friend has a Chamberlain opener. Can I "teach" her car for my remote and then operate her chamberlain from that? The problem is that she moved into a new place and doesn't have the remote. We would rather not pay 22 bucks for a remote when she intends to use the button on her car.

Thanks...worked like a charm!!

Hello,

We have a craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener purchased in 1999. We recently bought a 2010 Volvo XC90 and are trying to program the door opener to the new vehicle yet it does not pick up the signal. When we press the #1 Homelink button on the Volvo it blinks. We keep it pressed and my husband goes to the door opener and presses the learn button once but nothing happens.....no click ...nothing...please help....thanks

I just purchased a house with a garage door opener; however, the previous tenant took the remotes. I do have a keypad outside, but have no idea what the code is to open/shut the door. I want to program my vehicle to open the door. How would I do this?

Thanks a million for this very helpful advice, I'm wondering if its possible to program the Gate to my car as well because it doesn't work either... could there be a learn button somewhere on that device? The gate I speak of is the intrance gate to the gated community I live in.

Can one program the visor garage opener directly without a remote, as I got a new car and don't know where the remote is?

If yes, how?

Thank you,

Ive tried all of those things you said and I still can not get it to work I have a Wayne dolton 1/3hp chain drive Quantum series 3213 model 3000 can not find the smart or learn button on it.

Wow. I just want to say THANK YOU so much. We recently moved into a new home, and the old owners didn't have the manuals, we couldn't figure out how to do it. Thanks for saving us hours of frustration and time :)

How can I program my keyless remote for my car to open my garage door. would it be the same.

I have an older Stanley garage door opener that does not have a learn button. How do I sync my new 2010 car to this opener. I had no problems with my 2007 car.

We have a liftmaster garage door opener and just bought 2 universal remotes for our cars. The remotes programmed fine and work well when out of the car but not from inside the car. And the distance is not as far as the original remotes would open from. Suggestions?

Your website was the only thing that worked!! Many thanks... We bought a new (used car) and in trying to set up the garage door opener from the inside of the car I knocked out my other car plus my three hand held remotes and never did get the new car set up. After reading our Hub I realized I had inadvertantly erased all by holding the smart button more then 20 seconds. Then since we purchased the home used don't know how many other remotes there originally were which may have exceeded the max allowable of 5 plus one keyless. Although I still don't under the differnce. Regardless I read the manual in the book and it gave two options but never stated you had to actually do both. Meaning program the remote in the car with the hand held original remote and then hit the smart button. I was trying either on it's own but didn't combine the two until I read your Hub. I was hesitant to try because of knocking everything else out several times, but I gave it a shot.. And to my pleasant surprise combining both worked... Thanks much appreciated.

We all so have two different vehicle. The problem is I program one & the other one quits working. Any ideas.

wow... sounds really helpful... i will try it out tomorrow. thankyou so much for the detailed explanation

I don't have a remote but only a keypad outside the garage door. I can't remember how I programmed my former car and just bought a new car. Can I program the car from the keypad or from the unit in the garage that opens and closes the garage door?

This is great information. I have a question: in your hub about how to reprogram your garage remote you mentioned the security issue of leaving your opener in your vehicle when taking it in for service. If I program my opener to my vehicle, what security measures can I take when my vehicle goes in for service?

You are a genious!

Thanks for this fantastic hub with great suggestions! I will be looking for more of your hubs! Keep up the great work.

tnx works like a charm

i have a 2000 land rover dis2 and i just cant get the garage opener work with the built in remote if you can help me out

Thank you so much for your information!!!!!

Finally it works!! Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will try it tonight. I hope it works so we won't have to fight over who's car gets programmed.

We have two different makes of cars that have the garage door feature. When we program one car the other car's garage opener quits and vice versa. Any ideas?

glad to have helped Gregg

Thank goodness for Google! You're exactly right with our car owners manuals leave out instructions to open the garage door.

Thanks a bunch!
