Have you tried the instructions in the manual without success? Or you don't have your manual?

Im not sure if the frequency is the same in iceland. Cuz every country has their local radio wave rules.

check and see which band your garage door remote use. I forgot what homelink supports. u need to compare if its within the range, then it will work.

mind you, sometimes it takes more than 1 try to get it to work. it took me 2 tries before it operates correctly.

If you don't have your manual, I'll be more than happy to re-type the instructions for you here

Thinking maybe the Canadian instructions may work for him?

But...as other said..............sometimes it won't take on the first one. Think I had to repeat about three times and finally got it. No issues since. Garage door on one button and community gate on the other.

Get a garage door opener shipped in from the US from Lowes, Home Depot, or somewhere else?

I'm sure we could list make and model numbers of openers we know work for us.
Sorry, not real sure what else you could do about it. I'll search and see if I can come up with the frequencies that the homelink uses...............but you'll have to check on your end in terms of freq. your opener wants.

Did you download the manual someone gave you below and try the Canadian instructions?

Ya, type it out!
Why?
Cause now, years later, the link does not work but if it was typed out
it would still be here.
Plain and simple

Plus navigating that site ..well not user friendly..and one has to register.
