Unable to program my 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander despite following all the steps. Looking for suggestions.
@Jae – Please contact our customer service at 1-800-354-3643 for assistance.
I have 2024 Toyota 4Runner. I have tried numerous times to sync up my garage door remote opener and learning code of motor. It is not working when following the steps. Please advise.
@ Julie – It sounds like you may have a unit that can hold up to seven wireless devices. This includes any old remotes, or wireless devices that have been programmed. Once there is seven, any new remote programmed will kick the last one out that was programmed. To fix this, you can clear the receiver. To clear it press and hold the learn code button in until the red led light goes out. Then reprogram each wireless device back in to the power head up to seven.
My Genie garage door opener will only allow pairing to one of my cars. I have two garage doors, one of the openers has accepted pairing to all three cars, but the other only allows one car. If I pair a second car the first won’t work, I tried all different orders and methods, again it will only pair to one car at a time
