I have had my 2010 LTZ for a year and have been unable to program my visor remote to my 20 year old garage door opener. Is my garage door opener to old for Universal Home Remote?

If it has those little tabs you have to flip to program it yup. Call the number in the manual....

My garage remote has the tabs to flip up and it programmed just fine. I just followed the instructions in my owners manual.

If for some reason it isn't compatible, aftermarket recievers are easy to find and fairly reasonable in price.

Yep, in the manual.
My garage opener is around the same age, with the dip switches. Works good.
Basically, a series of button pushing on the UHR that coincides with how your dip switches are set on the door opener itself.

I just replaced the garage door opener at my daughter's new house because the aftermarket receiver and new remotes (older Sears unit and the previous owners didn't have the remotes) was more than a new garage opener. The receiver for her opener was $49.99 and then they needed 2 new remotes at $39.99 each. Doing the math it was $130 for the update of the old opener and the new one was on sale for $120.

I will say that the new opener is not the quality of the older unit though.

Well it is quite old so that could be one of the reason. and it is 20 years old door. so why don't you change the entire lock then it should work fine with the new remote that you carry.

Thank you every one. I guess if I want to use the cars remote I'll have to buy a new opener.

Yes, I got a universal one from Lowe's for about 20 dollars. It works great.
