Problems when programming If you are experiencing problems programming the integrated garage door opener on the rear-view mirror, take note of the following instructions: RCheck the transmitter frequency of garage
door drive remote control A. This can usually be found on the back of the remote control. The integrated garage door opener is compatible with devices that have units which operate in the frequency range of 280to 433MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote control A. This increases the likelihood that garage door remote control A will transmit a strong and precise signal to the integrated garage door opener in the rear-view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the button that you are programming. Try various angles at a distance between 2and 12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle but at varying distances.
