I don't remember how I finally got it to work but man it was a bitch and a half. Repeated tries and finally got it... since I still don't know how, I don't think I did anything different than what the manual stated.

I think it depends if your garage door opener has a static code or one that keeps changing. For the garage doors that has a static code, you can use the remote to program. For those garage doors that have a changing code, you will need to program from the actual unit.

Make sure the X is within a reasonable proximity with a line of sight to the garage door unit and there should be a button on the unit to send out a signal. Then run into the X and program. It will learn the sequence of changing codes and you'll be set.

My write-up is specifically for the "rolling code" type, which is what almost all new garage door openers are.
