Any tips guys?

I have two identical receivers on gate and garage, plus 4-button remote controls.

I've successfully copied the garage button, but after literally hours, can't get the gate button to program. Have even tried a different brand remote, which seemed to copy to the car, but then after programming the gate to accept the new remote (both car and remote transmitted), only the new remote works, not the car.

Driving me mad!!!!!!!

try clearing or erasing previous code first. Hold first and third buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds.

Then try again

Thanks. Will try that tomorrow - had considered it, but didn't want to risk messing the one that worked. Reality is that I need both, otherwise have to carry the remote, so why the hell not

This happened to me in my car when I first tried to sync up the rolling codes. I had to delete everything as mentioned above and re-do the procedure until it finally accepted the codes for the garages.

Keep at It; it will work!

I have a turn over of cars and need to program four gates on three buttons. So I hire a professional. (One of the gates is in a different location.)

My pro had great difficulty programming two of my gates. Followed directions, cleared the system, tried to get the rolling codes to give the digital handshake. It took forever. Very glitchy.
