Hi Everyone,

I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions in the manual in clearing and then programming the garage door opener. I can't seem to get it working. Has anyone else have been having issues with this?

Pay attention to the main methods suggested and the little variations other people report/suggest. Make sure your lights, distance of the other garage door opener, etc match up. If it still doesn't work then it's probably not compatible for some reason or is broken.

Mine worked once I held my garage remote almost directly behind the rear view mirror. Not the blah blah blah inches away like it suggests.

Yeah same here. mine seems to work the easiest when you point the remote at the back of the mirror in the same orientation that you would point it at the garage door. I do have a question to add so hopefully you won't mind.

There are three buttons that you can program. two are for my garage doors. How can I program the third button to open both doors at once? This can be done, I just can't remember how to do it though....
