I put 2 new units in....not just new remotes....motors and all....it's the main unit (motor) that receives the signal from the car....as pipedreams said, go to their site....you may get it to work....

You can go to the car2u website and order one of their adapters. Easy to install and works.

i have posted before that you must release all 3 buttons at the same instant or it will not lock on to the opener. i used a small piece of wood to push and release all 3 buttons together and after 2 days of trying all the suggestion from lear my way worked.

Actually, If you call the number for Lear Car2U that is in the manual (I think it is 866-572-2728) and tell them your garage is not compatible, they will send you an adapter free of charge.
I did this and got the adapter in about 5 business days. It was pretty easy to hook up and now my garage works.
I even got them to add a receiver to my community gate so now I can use the Universal Home Remote to open the gate to my community, but the damn maintenance crew keeps messing with it so it..
Anyway, good luck. Hope this helps!

try programming it first the "new" way, and then the old way. I have a (now) 14 year old Sear garage door opener with their old remotes. it worked fine for me after I got up on the ladder to push some button up on top. mine's an '08 and I think they changed something, but I did the modified, old homelink method of synching up the door opener remote while holding the button on the visor. see if it works.
