Programming genie

I was wondering if anyone knew how do you program your factory garage door opener remote on the sunvisor to your garage opener....Do you have to take it somewhere to have it done or does anyone have a book that came with their car that says how to do it?

I'm telling you from memory so I could be a little off. You press the 2 outside buttons and hold them for like 20-30 sec till the little led flashes and press the left button and hold it down and press the button on your garage remote till the light blinks and then let off the one on the visor and press it again and it should just blink once. I'm at work, so I can't just go check right now.

are you trying to make your garage door opener work inside the car or the one on the door ouside on the wall. if its the hand held one theres dipswitches inside and on the garage geneie motor theing you need to match these up. doesn't matter if there the same didits as when you bought it they just neeed to be the same on the opener and them motor thing on the ceiling

I'm trying to program the factory remote that is attached to the sunvisor of my 2G car....

I've tried 3 different suggestions from this and other forums...nothing is working for me...Here's what it's doing...
I push the buttons until it starts to blink fast...then as soon as I push 1 button to program...it starts to blink slowly before I get a chance to push the genie remote...I've tried doing this backwards (pushing the genie remote first-then the car remote)...nothing works..Even when I tried doing it the other ways that people have suggested...same thing...the light starts to blink right away before I get to push the remote...
Any suggestions now???

Also someone from another forum told me that some genie's come with a rolling code that changes the codes every so often, for security purpose's...I don't think this is the problem with mine because it's a very old genie...The brand is a Lift-Master with Code Command Control and I actually got it off someone else and I've had it myself for about 10+ years... So JMO, but I would think they didn't have those "rolling codes" back then...but I really don't know....
Any other suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks
