I had trouble programming also. For some reason, button #2 worked when #1 would not, so try it. Also give this website a try: www.homelink.com/training/train.taf.KWP said:with my garage door opener. It's a new house, so I'm sure the codes are learnable (is that a word). I'm following the directions in the manual.
Any ideas of what's happening or not happening?
Thanks,

Program the transmitter in the car by the normal directions. Then you need to set your opener to learn mode since it's rolling code (anything in the past many years is). Theres usually a button you press onec, and then you press the button in your universal transmitter so it can sync up, and woila, it works.KWP said:with my garage door opener.

Are you saying it's a 2 step process? It sounds like your saying to program with the remote, then program again with the code button on the garage door unit. Please explain in detail.HDClown said:Program the transmitter in the car by the normal directions.

This is about the only thing I haven't tried. I'll give it a shot.HDClown said:Yes, 2 steps.
1) Program the universal transmitter. I forget the exact option, but you can reset the buttons but holding down 1 & 3 until the light flashes. Then press and hold the button to prorgam until the light flashes (or stops flashing) while also pressing down the button on your garage door opener transmiter, with it pointed at the universal transmitter.
2) Next, go to your garage door openiner hanging from the ceiling, there should be a button used to programming the transmitters to talk to it. Usually you press that button once, and a light flashes. Within 30 seconds (or less), you need to press the button on our universal transmitter so it can "link" with the garage door opener (this is because it uses rolling codes). Once that's done, the universal transmitter should work
