Universal Garage Door Opener - programming woes
Anyone out there having problems w/ programming the Universal Garage Door Opener??
I have a '09 lariat w/ the UGDO option (nice acronym eh?) you know, the three-button thingy built into the sun visor.
I have followed the steps in owners manual (both methods) w/o success...my automatic garage door opener is a few years old, but I wouldn't think this would be a problem...any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

You may have a newer garage door opener with a "rolling code" signal. There will be a programing button on your garage door unit (by unit I mean the actual drive unit hanging from the rafters of your garage) that you will need to push. After this is pushed proceed with holding the desired button in your truck until it is programed. The owners manual can explain this a lot better than I can.

Bye F150, hello F250
I have a Sears model (2 actually) with the rolling code, it was a PITA, but it works. Follow the destructions carefully- maybe use a helping hand. You have to set the visor using a pre-programmed remote, then, program the opener in the garage to the visor module. Its 2 steps, takes a couple minutes, but it does work, and much better than my Chrysler universal remote did/does in the van, and Caliber.

I had problems programming mine. You have to follow the procedure to clear the old codes first, then the standard instructions work. I found the procedure to clear it by a google search.
Good luck

I just got done doing it myself and works like a charm. Took back my universal remote from Sears for $43.17 and now have the HOMELINK I got off of eBay for $20.51. Not only did I save money, but now I don't have an ugly eye sore floaiting around in my truck!
Hope this helps ya - and saves you some money!

I don't think my Homelink "flashed" though, after about 20 seconds it just came on solid... can't remember to be honest.

Hope all is well, it sure is a convenient accessory!
