Default Compact garage door opener

I bought this car remote looking thing from Brookstone, and it's awesome. It learns your garage door opener signal in seconds and is much smaller than the bulky one that I have.

Hey S2R,

Can you post a pic of it, or a link to it. I'm getting tired of my bulky one. Also, can it learn gate codes???

There you go Mark. It has two buttons, so I think it can learn two different codes. You just hold it within an inch of the remote device, push the buttons to start memorization, and it learns it in several seconds.

On the chance you want to check out other compact openers, this place has millions, well maybe just thousands of them...

The box says it "learns both fixed and multi-code systems", but I don't know if they're refering to the rolling code door openers.

YAY, now I can actually have a cupholder again! I have my garage door opener in there right now. So cups have no where to go, but it doesn't matter too much I guess... i never drink anything in the S

If you check the site that I pointed to from the previous post, you will find ones that work with rotating codes as well as "Canadian" frequencies.
