'05 Shinka w/Homelink won't work on new garage?

Hey all, if you're still out there with an older Homelink (like me with my '05 Shinka) I have a question. The programming doesn't work for me ... when I go to press the button I want to program + remote, the red light just slow-flashes until it goes solid green ("I give up" mode?). Any idea why? This is a brand spankin' new Chamerlain garage door.... help if you can.

Thanks in advance.

You'll need something like a Liftmaster 855LM adapter:

So is that because the Homelink on my vehicle is too old, and not compatible with the new signaling tech in the new remotes/openers?

Yes, you're probably dealing with rolling code openers vs non-rolling code. I had to run that adapter for my older vehicles (like my RX8) when I installed a new Chamberlain garage opener in 2017.

Check to see if your opener has wifi built in. I ran into this issue but decided to setup the built in wifi instead and just use my phone now.
