Re: garge door opener, anybody got their's to work?

Yes. For any "rolling code" systems, it takes TWO steps to make it work. First is programming the Homelink in the mirror, second is having the receiver in your opener "learn" the "new" remote.
In the instructions that B Millar posted the link to, they say:
"Press and hold the two outside buttons on the Homelink® system until the LED starts to blink, release buttons"
Warning - this clears the program from ALL buttons on the mirror. But you may need to do it anyway.
Like it says, you press and hold the button on the mirror, and press and hold the button on the remote until the LED on the mirror (in line with the buttons) blinks rapidly. THis can take several seconds.
Now, the mirror is like a brand new remote. You have to find the "learn" button on your opener's receiver, and follow the instructions for learning a new remote.
Beware that some Intellicode systems have a maximum of 7 remotes. You may or may not be able to program another remote if it already has seven programmed.
When I programmed my mirror for my Mom's garage, it would shift off the last remote programmed. Last in, first out. I had to flush all seven remotes from the system, and then re-program all seven (including my Homelink, and my Sister's BMW's Home Link). Now it's all working fine.
