Garage opener programming instruction and sport or comfor mode?
I have 2 questions for any one who can maybe help..
I have a 2005 clk500 and I wanted to program the garage door opener to the factory visor opener on the car...I have a genie garage door opener is it hard to do? Anybody have step by step instructions?
Question number 2 is what is the difference between the comfort and sport button next to the shifter? Does sport actually do something with the rpms? Suspension? I think I feel a little in the throttle response or rpms sit higher so when you get on the gas, less lag time? Or maybe its just all in my head after I switch it to sport, any body know?
Thanks!!!

Straight from Wikipedia
The cars have a manual sport/comfort mode switch that sets the automatic transmission to start in 2nd gear and shift earlier in comfort mode. With the new 7-speed transmission, the car is about 20% more fuel-efficient compared to the 5-speed, with no loss of performance.
In the CLK500, at 80 mph (130 km/h), the 5-speed transmission runs at about 3000 rpm, while the 7-speed runs at about 2200 rpm. In the AMG model, the transmission can be set to remain longer in lower gears for higher performance.
The 5-speed CLK500 gets an average of 15mpg in city driving conditions, whereas the 7-speed CLK500 get an average of about 18mpg under the same conditions. Both add about 3mpg for highway driving.

The manual has very good, clear details for the opener, either conventional or rolling code type. Simple task. Mike

Check the GD opener manual for a learn mode. Most have one to sync a new remote to the opener. Use the learn mode and press one of the visor buttons. In other words, let the opener learn the car instead of vice versa. Worked great for me.
