After watching your video I ordered this opener. I have a old Sears opener with dip switches. It works great and range is clear out to my street. I am very happy. Thanks for doing the video.
7:35 Doesn;t bending the antenna in the middle, change the frequency sensitivity? What about keep it straight, but bend it at the base near the black box?
thank you for making this video. The only thing that I would like to say is a low voltage transformer does not have a positive and negative. Look at the plug it is not polarized. Thanks
9:40 Reception distance probably decreases when inside your car. 9:46 Wow, that door moves slowly. Are those 1/4 HP opener units? My wife is impatient and wants to see an open door as soon as she hits the driveway. She always drives to the STOP light before she releases the accelerator.
I know it sounds silly, but if you hold a transmitter under your chin touching your skin, it will transmit further. I found this out by mistake working at a Lexus dealer on car remotes looking for cars far away in the lot. Give it a try once your out of range.
I’ve done that before with a car key fob, and it seems like I read that it helps to open your mouth to direct the signal. I have no idea if that’s true or not. Haven’t tried this with a garage door opener remote.
Yes, we actually have two of these receivers, one for each garage door. I can open either door from either car with two remotes, one in each car. I also have Homelink built into my car and that works as well with this receiver.
I don’t know about that brand specifically. This universal receiver wires into the button circuit so, in theory, it should work with any older opener that has a button.
I cut off the antenna from the control board and toggled the dip switches to a random combination. As far as I know that’s all you can do to disable the old system.
i just subscribed and reviewed this video and have a question on my sears model 139.65500 which has back plug in. can i use this for the transmitter? my model was built in 1976 and the remotes are lost thanks kenc
I don’t know for sure but I am guessing that it will work if your opener has screw terminals for the wall button. I’m not sure what you mean by “back plug in” but you might be able to splice the remote in if you can identify the two wires that connect to the wall button. Sorry I can’t be more help.
Thank you so much - I was able to fix my old garage door opener by adding a remote control through this video!!
You are welcome! Glad the video was helpful.
@@DavidJWarEagle about to add a remote control to mine too, glad I found this video and the product link directly! Amazing guide thanks a lot

I failed with my Genie 450 that was installed in the early 70s. Couldnt get it to work.
I'm horrible at this stuff, I would have drilled a whole through the wall and mounted the receiver outside for a longer reach lol Anyhow, Subbed.
My Road Tours Haha! Funny, thanks!
Great review/tutorial 👍🏽

Is there a way to program two remotes to it? Trying to have a remote in my car and my wife's car.
As far as I know you can program multiple remotes and you would follow the same pairing process with the additional remote.
Does the system work on an old opener without the door beams?
Yes, my openers do not have the safety beams.
@@DavidJWarEagle the company says no,but I believe they don't want people using doors without beams.I'm going to order one!
would you know if this will work with opendoor python 2 remotes and wall keypad?
Are you able to add an additional remote instead of one?
Yes, we actually have two of these receivers, one for each garage door. I can open either door from either car with two remotes, one in each car. I also have Homelink built into my car and that works as well with this receiver.
Can you program car’s homelink buttons as well or only the genie remote?
Yes, I used the Homelink module built into my car with this universal receiver. It worked great. 👍
I have a Raynor garage door opener dated May 1990. What remote can I use for that?
I don’t know about that brand specifically. This universal receiver wires into the button circuit so, in theory, it should work with any older opener that has a button.
Looks like you're a phone guy with the sheath knife and needle-nose pliers??
will this operated on two garage doors or do I need a second kit on the other door with corresponding opener?
Each opener requires a dedicated kit. Hope that helps.
@@DavidJWarEagle it does thank you
I have the same set up, that you have, my old remote still works without any programming. Any idea on how to disable the old system?
I cut off the antenna from the control board and toggled the dip switches to a random combination. As far as I know that’s all you can do to disable the old system.
Can you add a wireless keypad to this
Yes, it should work fine. As far as I know those are basically a wall mounted remote with a keypad so it should pair up like a normal remote.
I Subscribed and like 802

Why wouldn’t they sell one with TWO remotes? Most family’s have two cars. Dumb!
jeez i fell asleep twice trying to watch this clip
