HomeLink with Overhead door
Just picked up a '99 RL with 58,XXX miles. Pearl white with beige leather in excellent condition (still has new car smell) for $10,400USD.
My Overhead Door brand garage door has the code shifting technology. The instructions mentioned in the RL's owner's manual cover this, but, to date, I've been unable to make it work successfully.
Anyone else programmed an Overhead Door garage door successfully into your RL's HomeLink controller? Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

figured it out
I found several articles and they all seemed to have a couple of things in common.
Here's the best instructions...the one that worked for me:
http://wheeltalk.fancal.net/?p=415
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds. Do not repeat this step to program additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Place the hand-held remote 1-3 inches from the HomeLink button you want to program.
3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the HomeLink and hand-held remote buttons. Do not release either button until step 4 has been completed. (If you reside in Canada, refer to the “NOTE” below.)
4. When the indicator light changes from a slow blink to a rapid flash, release both buttons.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit) in the garage, locate the”learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached).
6. Press and release this “learn” or “smart” button. (The name of these buttons vary by manufacturer.) There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 7.
7. Firmly press, hold for two seconds, and release the programmed HomeLink button. Do this procedure again and, depending on the make of your garage door opener, do this procedure a third time to complete the procedure.
The garage should now activate when the programmed HomeLink button is firmly pressed and released.
