I live in apt community &amp; dont know how to use this one to open my garage. Any pointers? My existing remote looks similar but has a PCB inside it.

You will need to open the thing up and set the code to match the opener. If you have a controller that works, open it and set your little guy to match the switches.

You might try reprogramming your remote to your garage opener! We have not experienced locking out! It's worth a try! Good luck

I have a Genie garage opener and 2 remote fobs and they work with it. I don't have any experience with the Ido50 unit.

I'm not sure but I do not recommend this opener. It wouldn't work from the outside. It deprogrammed my intellicode pad and I haven't been able reprogram it. It will work from the inside of the house.

You can use one, you just set up and save a setup for each house,You can download a preset up remote someone has made or make your own,It was pretty easy to do

As a novice at electrical things, I really don't know the answer to this about wiring. I just followed the code, ups and downs, inside my old remote which was taken from inside the opener. I do find the range less than the old one, but I would rather be safe and not open the door too soon! Great item for the cost.

Get a keypad remote for your outdoor cars, like the ones that would be mounted outside your garage. It acts the same as the other remotes but you need a pin number to open or close the garage.

Double check the instructions for your garage again. I've bought like 5 of these things and they all send out the signal reliably. Why not just set the dipswitches manually to whatever code you have?

Use the program connector pin on the side socket and short out the middle and outer pin with a piece of metal like a screwdriver. Do this while pressing and holding the main button until led blinks, then release after it goes steady. Now you can program the remote by using the garage door directions for programming a remote. Good luck.

Hey Marc- This wouldn't be the correct remote for you. Do you have a working remote for your opener? Thanks... Matty

I have a Genie Garage Door Opener I got in 2007. It has the Intelecode receiver. I programed it per the Owners manual for the door opener and it worked perfectly. I use the mini remote when I ride my Motorcycle. The mini remote has a greater range than the factory one. As long as your opener has the Intellicode receiver the remote should work fine.

Check with the vendor you are buying it from. They can supply you the software if they want to. If you buy, make sure the software is included. It is a great remote.

You can find a link to a Youtube tutorial on the remote here, it looks like you will have to cut and paste the link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXjKZ15-qTM

I do not know what I have. All I know is I bought it and it programmed with my garage system right away. Sorry.

Not practical. You'd have to have an opener that worked by having 12VDC applied across a set of contacts (not likely). You'd have to toggle the ON , then OFF every time you wanted to open or close the door since the RC switch stays on or off depending on the last command it got. You'd also have to have a 12VDC source to power the receiver. Finally, I bought 2 of these switches and the same remote works either one of them, so there is no security. Hard to beat a garage door opener with a remote for opening a garage dooor.

From Genie site:Compatible with all Genie openers produced since 1995. I will tell you I had no issues setting it up to my old Genie opener I installed around 2001. So yes my remote was the larger Black one with single grey button ACSCTG Type 1. This one works fine but I have a wooden door with regular wooden garage connected to home. I tend to believe its weeker signal gets interupted by metal garage/doors. Its only about the size of a key fob witch is great but I must be within 70ft of my door to open it....Its small size makes it worth that to me.
