Question Garage Door Opening Option

Quick question...first off the manual didnt come with my car so cant refer to that. Lol. But anyway, moved into my fiances house in which she has an automatic garage door but she doesnt have a remote control for it, causing us to open it up with the control in garage. Is there a way to program my car (2017 SS) to open the garage door without a remote on hand or do I have to have someone come install a new garage door openerfrom scratch? Thanks for any info.

1. Do you have a 1SS or 2SS?

2. You bought a brand new car and it didn't come with a manual? That's your bigger problem. Go back to your dealer and demand your manual.

No. This is not possible. Assuming you have the home link in your car that can serve as a garage door opener what you'll have to do is go to Home Depot and get a generic universal garage door opener. They are about 30 bucks.

You then will need to follow directions that come with it to program the remote. Once you have that remote programmed to the garage door you can train your camaro with the signal from that garage door opener.

It's a 2010 probably bought used, just asked the question on the wrong forum...

^^^This, had a hell of a time trying to program mine, discovered I absolutely needed the original (or a new universal) remote to program the car. Luckily I found it and programmed it.

The OP stated right on his post it's a 2017 SS. You might want to read it again.

Do you have the brand/model number of the universal remote you bought?

You can download most owners' manuals from the web. Here's the owners manual for your car...

If it is a Genie door opener, Home Depot and Lowes carry Genie replacement remotes that are easy to program. If it is Chamberlain or LiftMaster (same company) you might have to go with any of a number of universals. Just check the package to make certain one or both of those company names are listed.

Bonus: If it is LiftMaster or Chamberlain, you can buy a unit that connects your garage door to your wifi. Then you can open or close from your smartphone. Example...I'm at work and get a note from the MyQ app that my garage door has been open for 5 minutes. Tap the screen and close the door from work.
