FWIW, we moved into a new house about a year ago. I spent an hour trying to program my Gen1 to the new OH openers but it would never take. I eventually talked to the overhead door installer and he said that since my truck was an '11, that it wouldn't work with a brand new opener. IIRC he said something inside the OH motors changed in '14-'15 and hence the lack of compatibility. He said I'd need something like DWH3 suggested above.
Who else has trouble with the built in garage door opener?

Parking just outside the garage on the side of the opener.

I called Homelink and the guy ask me if I put a new battery in my remote. I said no. He politely told me I was stupid for not following the directions and said have a nice day. That’s all it took.
That is what I bought. Works perfectly.
LEDs have caused lots of reception issues for me, specifically at night when the LED landscape light are on...
We have the same issue with 2 different vehicles. LED generate a small EMF that messes with the reception, same as CFL. Had to switch to incandescent in the garage door opener, but if the exterior lights are on, you have to be at the door for the button to work. Paid $85 to learn that.
I have 2 seperate garage door units, one from genie and the other from overhead door. The genie unit synced up perfect and I have no issues with it. I tried the overhead door unit and it absolutely refuses to learn. This is a pain cause the unit controls the main garage doors which I mostly use. I was told to contact overhead to get the issue resolved but I've been so fed up, I didnt bother

Same issue with my 18 and a LiftMaster. I had to tried way too many times with no luck. Thankfully LiftMaster mentioned about LED lights causing a issue. Once I turned off the LED pathway lights I followed the programming instructions in the Ford manual and it worked the second attempt after I moved the truck back about 15 ft away from the garage door.
Strange that I could not get My 18 Jeep Wrangler to work no matter what I tried, thankfully the LiftMaster remote is somewhat small
At first I thought it was because I mounted it facing down like in the picture lol

It is easier to use your old garage door opener/controller to program your truck. Almost impossible to do it from the motor.
