I think this is it, although they did say that they were able to do it wirelessly previously but not anymore.
Just tried looking for that and the option in the car and is not available/can't seem to see it.
They did send a software update wirelessly to my car which was exactly the same as what I currently had so might be the same thing but different way of doing it.
Odd, I cannot recall seeing it myself either but mentioned it as I spotted it in the recently revised 2020.44 European manual. iirc I also heard it mention as part of some release notes

Hmm maybe a future one as I double checked and it's definitely not there yet!
Mobile engineer turned up this morning and updated the software and now it works!
Also was very surprised that it was compatible directly with my garage remote!
Annoyingly I have a separate button for opening and closing so need to program them separately unless anyone has any ideas as to how I could get it to do both?

So did you point the remote at the car and learn from that in standard mode, or use the UR etc option and set the wall box into some pairing mode?
Can you post a pic of your wall box as iirc you earlier said that it looked similar to some instructions that I posted.

It's a neco roller door unit.
Actually has a learning button inside as well but just used my remote fob button to learn.
The remote fob has 4 buttons on it:
Open
Close
Stop
Alarm
Used standard mode but not sure if the others will make a difference?
Thanks. Ours isn't Neco, but there are several that all just look rebadged - I think ours are SWS SWA but I think the control unit manufacturers don't exist any more. Unfortunately ours does not recognise the fob and when I tried the instructions that I posted (not exact make but looked identical) the program via fob button didn't put the unit in the stated state. I think it has an internal program button too but not looked yet - I'm more concerned with ending up with a unit with no working remotes.

You could buy a neco unit and try that? They're quite cheap about £40 on Amazon
I have two SWS Securoglide garage doors but they don’t work with homelink. Are you saying I could change the units to Neco ones, for about £50 each and they will work with the neco unit?
I thought about swapping control unit but ruled it out as there are several end point settings that need to be set otherwise the door will either stop short or overrun at each end. Ours are set spot on at present and I would much rather pay a little extra for the universal receiver (or wait to see what other rumoured options come up with) than upsetting those end stops - especially with the consequences of getting them wrong - after some idiot left a ladder in the way of the door its not something I want to witness again So one for the professionals.
So one for the professionals.

I think thats what we have, again no cigar. Have you tried just programming with the remote or additional step of putting the control box in special mode?
I tried programming with the remote, the lights flashed and homelink thinks it’s working in the car, but the door doesn’t open/close.
How do you put the control box in special mode?
I phoned SWS and their technician said that a universal receiver connected to the spare (a and b?) connectors should work, but he had never heard of homelink so couldn’t confirm.
Thanks. I don't even get the car to recognise either remote. I put new batteries in a few years back so don't think they will help.
I had the unit open for another reason about a year ago and there were a couple of internal buttons (see photo). According to an instruction/installation booklet I found (and posted on here) for a similar looking unit, there are some internal options to add a new fob. I tried the option to add a fob from another fob, but that didn't behave as described, so even though mine looks pretty much identical, its behaviour is not.
This is what mine looks like if anyone is interested.
Tried the other 2 options (D mode and UR mode) pressing the button inside the black box. The car recognised the signal but couldn't open/close or do anything. Have just left it on standard mode learning from my wireless fob with 2 separate garages listed in the car. One to open the garage door and another to close it. Fob still works as well

Yep. Almost exactly like mine except its a light grey and there is a single 3-state button at the bottom - open, pause, close. Remote has these as 4 buttons, open, pause, close plus a grey one which I thought was program but doesn't act as such. Looks like yours had 3 buttons at the bottom.
I need to go back and look at the instructions that I posted to see if it resembles the insides of mine. But I'm concerned that I will end up either overwriting the end stops, or deleting the remotes.
