RE: universal garage door opener
I have tried exactly what the owners manual said to program the universal Garage Door opener and it never worked..i followed exact directions by pressing both outside button until they blink to reset the buttons then hold the programed opener close to the cars GD opener and press the button until it blinks again and it never programed it right.... dont know why it didnt program right. is there certain Garage doors that it can and cannot work with?

RE: universal garage door opener
There is another way to program it. There are code hopping devices that need to be programmed just a tad different.
First, reset it again, hold the garage door opener at the default distance (1-2 inches?) from homelink. Press the two remotes. Press homelink down for a second, release, press for a second, and repeat this until homelink blinks to let you know that it's programmed.
I've had to do this to at lease 2 garage doors and a gate. The books way only worked once.
The range of homelink seemed better than any of my GD openers too.

RE: universal garage door opener
Oh yeah, you'll have to press and hold the garage door open until the homelink flashes to let you know that it was programmed successfully.
In essence, what you're doing is manually finding a compatible homelink code to start off with since it sounds like you have a code hopping system.
This technique takes patients, lol, and finger strength. You may not get it the first 3 times, lol. My first time doing it this way almost had me tossing my remote out the window, lol. Seriously though, this is how you program homelink with the code hopping systems, such as a lot of the newer openers.
