programming the garage door remote mirror WITHOUT an existing remote
Hi guys,
I have the rear view mirror that has the garage door remote opener thing in it. I have a sommer marathon 800 door opener, but no remote for it as the previous tennant did not leave one for me when I moved in. The door opens fine with a wall switch, but I can't get the car remote to open it. I can't program it with a remote therefore in the usual way. Is it possible to teach the car to open it or do I have to get a remote programmed first? Thanks! John |

Do the following steps:
1. When driving up to the garage door honk your horn. 2. Tell your wife/girlfriend/kids whenever they hear the horn to press the wall switch. Should do the trick... |

go to the opener manufacturer website
you dont need the remote. however it may be useful to have instructions from your opener manufacturer. on th back of the opener there should be a learn button after this is pressed
(a flashing led on back if you have one will start) it should go into a learning mode and pressing the chosen button in the car a number of times will sync the car and opener (again indicaded by a led singal, which is solid on on my unit) i beleive this is covered in the manual. also on my unit there is an additional button that erases all remotes. i have to climb on a ladder to reach the back of the opener so two people could be easier. |

John,
Trying it multiple times is not going to help. You need the remote.
