Programming A Remote, Not The Garage Door Opener



Question:
What really happens when programming a garage door opener? Is the remote that gets programmed or the garage door opener? I would like to program a remote so it can open the garage door. Becaue I live in a condo, I do not want to program the garage door opener in fear that if the door opener is programmer, other people may not be able to operate the door. I'm talking about the new style of opener which automatically changes the code each time it opens the door, not the old kind which has a fixed code.

Answer:
I hope you have the instructions, because different brands program differently. In all (that I know of) you program the opener to the remote. Two steps: 1) Do the button sequence that clears everything. This will get rid of any coding that the former owner may have set, then mislaid the remote. 2) Program the remote(s) you will use.
