2001CLK

You'd think Mercedes would put in a more advance garage remote. I guess they still think everyone has the single code garage openers. Would’ve been nice to have my remote work ….such a waste…

mmgrad

hmmm.. well, I don't know about you, but my CLK works with my rolling code garage door opener.

As a matter of fact, each of the 3 buttons are programmed for 3 different garage doors at different locations, and all the garage door openers are rolling code.

Read through the car manual carefully, they will tell you how to program it. IF that doesn't work, read through the programming remote part in your garage door opener manual.

Your right mmgrad...but for some reason it doesn't work with my particular model...

Does anyone have a Genie Intellicode opener that works insync with the Mercedes remote???

Newbie

Ahh HA! Finally someone else with my problem. I've got the exact same garage door opener, and there's no way to program it. I've tried both programming methods repeatedly with no success, and eventually MB told me that it was my garage door and nothing I could do....

mmgrad

that is exactly what I am using. through trial and error... the way they got in sync was simply by doing the following....

park the car as close as possible to the garage door opener motor. Hit the learn button, then press the button on the CLK to program it, the light on the garage door opener should stay lit

press the button in the car again, and it should be in there.

good luck!

Newbie

Tried it a million times, even had friends helping with the synching. Never worked. Time to sell the car .

2001CLK

Did the same as newbie...would've been nice to have it work tho..

mmgrad

That is interesting.... through some rolling code motors, you might need to use both the learning button on the motor and an actual remote control in order to program the car buttons.

But that was not the case for my CLK. Maybe the year of your car make a difference (can only interact with single code receivers/motors).

Newbie

Danny, I think that's the case. I'm betting that since a ton of new electrical stuff went into the '01s, they probably fixed the problem with the garage door buttons.

Edit- Doh! Judging by 2001CLK's name, I guess that theory's out the window.

mmgrad

maybe you can get this replaced under warranty as long as you tell them it worked before and now it stopped working...

and if they replace it, then you will get the newest of the new mods for the CLKs. And hopefully it should work after all that.

Seriously, i would try a few more times using the learn button on the motor and then use a remote.

I had to play with it a few times myself in order to get it to work right.

Good luck either way

I had some problems programming my remote also at first then I called customer service and they had an option ( I think it was option #8) that instructs you step by step on how to sync your remote to your opener...quite easy, I just missed a step that wasn't mentioned in the manual. Give it a try.

Newbie

Lol, I've called the customer service line all 3 times I've worked at programming the damn thing. They tell me all the options, I try 'em, and they never work. Clearly I gave up ages ago.

My garage door opener is rolling code and the MB opener works.

Maybe try calling the makers of the Genie opener?

mmgrad

given that a new MB was just added to the stable... the garage door opener needed to be syncronized

sync-ing with the 'learn' button on the motor will not work.

as many of you have complained about not being able to program with a rolling code opener, try using this procedure:

1.) reset the car's buttons:
- hold the far left and far right buttons at the same time for a few seconds (i think you need to wait until you see some light flash)

2.) remote-sync buttons
- use an already programmed remote control garage door opener to sync a button in the car... the light at the mirror should blink, release buttons when the light starts flashing fast

3.) sync with motor
- now, press the learn button on the motor, then press the same button you remote-sync-ed (the learn indicator on the motor should stop blinking, but will stay lit), press the same button again and that light should go off entirely

WHOA-LA.... it is now programmed. or at least i hope it should.

GOOD LUCK!!!

MMGRAD,
Thank you for posting the instructions. I thought that it would not work with the rolling code and have not looked in the owners manual. I have a 99 CLK320 and I followed your instructions. My mirror now works with my rolling code garage door operner!!!! Yeah!!!! THANKS! If is not a model year problem.

2001CLK

Thanks! It works! Unbeleiveable..

LowRydeR

Same problem with me, I couldn't program the remote for my old house, I even took the garage opener to the dealer and they still couldn't get it to work.

mmgrad

No problem guys (and/or gals)

glad i could help...

LowRyder? It didn't work for you? If not, maybe you can get the controller and transmitter changed under warranty

Resurecting an old thread here...

I tried MMGrad's instructions to the letter, but my CLK430 wont work with my Genie Intellicode opener. What happens is that the 'learn' light on the opener (motor) blinks, then I press and hold the mirror-button (which I have already programmed with the hand-held remote)... the 'learn' light (motor) now stops blinking and remains solid (so far, so good)...now, when I press the mirror button again, the 'learn' light (motor) goes off (exactly as the manual says it should).

Only problem is that it still won't open the door. To top it off, once performing this procedure, my regular garage remote will no longer work, and must be re-'learned' to the motor.

What gives?

CHB

Does the car learn the signal from old school openers that use codes through pins?

Harkonen

No, it reads the signal from existing remotes and learns them. The olnly problem occurs with rolling code systems... the newer (98+) cars are supposed to support these, and I've heard of others getting the CLK to work with intellicode, but mine is definately not working.

MMGRAD? 2001CLK? Anyone?

2001CLK

I have the newer Genie Intellicode opener and it works fine with my 01' CLK.. thanks to mmgrad's instructions

D-5

Thanks Danny!!!

finally....after owning the car for 4years

Harkonen

Turned out to be hardware.... bad receiver board in my GDO... replaced it today for $65.00 and I'm off and running!

Thanks everyone.
