I have seen lots of Youtube instruction videos. None of them work. Anybody been successful? I have a plain Jane Chamberlain garage door system.

 

What procedure did you follow? I was able to program a genie GDO. You have to use the GDO's handheld remote to program the in car transmitter, then program the GDO when in learn mode.

 

For our old school cars you need to grab a Liftmaster 855LM Chamberlain bridge. It plugs into a garage outlet - find a video to set up. But set your unit to that opener, then program that to your older legacy car homelink and it works fine.

I grabbed some Command velcro and stuck the bridge door opener to the box so I dont lose it :-)

 

Good advice from @biacs : garage door openers changed aroutnd 2010+ for added security. The old car-based openers (homelink?) don't work with newer receivers. I just use a 2-button opener in my LS430, as the 2 doors are matching brands, and i don't really care. But bridge is alternative.

 

thanks

 

I ordered the 855LM bridge. Thanks. Do I need 2 bridges? ... I have 2 garage doors to control.

 

According to google AI one bridge should work.

855LM bridge for two openers?

 

I had to order 2 -its a 1:1 function per door opener.

 

ok thanks

 

Best Reply! Thanks sir. Works perfectly!

 

Not correct. The bridge will control multiple door openers. I just installed mine today.
