Does anyone know if the factory garage door kit for the key fob "option" button works with rolling codes on the garage door. I don't know if I'm using the correct wording on that, but I know I had a devil of a time coding our homelink to our garage door. I know it's not something simply like 1 channel or two, I believe it is a rolling code.
Any input would be appreciated.

Rolling code would be the correct terminology.

I found this thread (http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=1257&highlight=isuzu+garage+opener).

From what I understand on what he is saying, you have the reciever that accepts the signal from your "options" button, which in turn opens the garage door using "hard wires" to the garage door switch.

I remember talking about this at one point. We had thought it accepts the signal from the key fob and then in turn sends a signal to your opener. I guess I was wrong back then.

From what I remember the button controls a module that fits in-line with the internal "open/close" button - it's bascially a remote control relay that's switched by the button on the remote. There's one currently on eBay:

Edit: Just realized I basically repeated what Knigh7 wrote above ;)

unfortunately, the one on Ebay (and the entire reason for my question) is no longer available,
thanks for the responses, I'll know better next time one shows, if and when that happens...
