Garage door remote....
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…

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.

Genie Intellicode
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???

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....

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!

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).

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.

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.

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!!!

CLK 320
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.

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

HELP!
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?
