My garage has a rolling code, is there any way to get the homelink to work with this (97 btw)

 

Get a Homelink visor from a 98 or 99.

 

I have a 97, and a rolling security code on a "Overhead Door" brand garage door opener, and I was able make mine work. It is a little tricky.

Go to the homelink web site or call them for detailed instructions. You have to push a button on the garage door motor or pc board at a certain time during programming.

It may take you a few tries. And it helps to have someone around press that button.

 

is it easy to swap it off of a98 or 99?

 

Why swap? Your 97 will work.

What is the production date of your '97? If it is an early 97, you will have to get a unit off of a '98 or '99. My '97 was built in November of 96 and the Homelink unit is NOT compatible with the new rolling code garage door openers. I verified it with the people at Homelink.
