2001 ES Homelink problem

We just moved from a place where I had a Genie door opener and I was able to program the Homelink (1st button towards the window). It worked great. We just moved to another home and I had a Lift Master garage door opener put in and I have tried everything and cannot get it to take the code. I have gone in to the garage door opened and pressed the button and then got in my car and put the opener about 3 inches away and pressed both buttons at the same time and cannot get it to work. Any ideas?

Thanks! Russ

However the year of your car may make a difference if it will work or not. Newer cars will work w/ either rolling code or non-rolling code operators, which your new opener is rolling code. However cars a few years old (I believe it's around 92 & prior years) are not compatible w/ rolling code & therefore will not usually work.

Oops, earlier post was suppose to be around 1999 or sooner (not 92) & I should have read your title more closely & see that you have a 2001. Follow the rolling code instructions & it should work fine. Pardon me for the confusion!

You may need to erase the old code - follow the instructions for erasing existing codes and then try programming the new one.

I have an '03 ES and it works fine with a Lift Master.

Your new opener has a "rolling code" You need to follow the subsequent instructions in your manual. My 04 ES had to go through both processes before it would work. The second stage involves pushing a "learn" button on the opener itself and then holding in the homelink button for a few seconds. As best I can recall.
