i ordered this: Updated Chevy Bolt Universal Garage Door Opener

got the gloss black one to match the console. yeah, i didn't need it as my garage door opener clips to the sun visor, but it should work, and i don't really use that little area.
Review please after you get it. I live in a gated townhome with two different gate codes for the 4 gates, plus my garage. 3 buttons are ideal for me.

I only have one garage door, so I can't speak to using all the buttons. but that's what it's made for, so it should work. program one button, and then follow the same instructions to program button 2 and again for button 3.

I got one. I can't speak to multiple garage doors but I can say that the seller supports the product. My GD opener called for three presses of the button selected to open/close the GD but that didn't work. After a few emails back and forth with Kevin it turned out that two presses did the trick.

This is my solution for my garage door remote. Very convenient. It is more unobtrusive than it appears in the photo. Used 4 small (1/8" x 1/2") pieces of 3M double sided foam tape placed in from the edge so they can't be seen.

Ordered too. I’m trying the gloss black to see how closely it matches my console. Tip for those ordering. If you do the Apple Pay option from the product page, as soon as I double clicked my phone button I was done. My address shipping and billing was automatic, and I saw a $5.55 discount. Not sure if the discount was Apple Pay related???

Just received mine yesterday. It did take me a few tries to get it to link with my Overhead Door garage door opener. It looks great in the car and fills a spot that I had no idea how else to use. Also got rid of my overly large opener that had been clipped to the visor. I'm very happy with the purchase and it shipped and arrived quickly.

Appreciate the support here! While programming can be a bit difficult (button presses and following the instructions carefully), success rate has been very high. Did have one instance where a low battery appeared to inhibit programming but it was still flashing the LED. As always, reach out for any questions or support and we'll do our best - is surprising to learn of the many different types of garage door remote technologies haha 🙃 The body is black ABS (or white/red/blue) with a UV epoxy finish which does result in a slight grayish tone - we've been hesitant to dye the epoxy as it may be difficult to recreate the color with each batch. You can always get it unfinished and attempt your own finishing.

I just installed the gloss black opener today. It looks great and works great and programmed very easily for my two garage doors.

the door opener housing is cleverly designed to sit on a small recessed ledge molded into the Bolt console pocket.
It also is designed to have a very slight interference fit so to install it you push down on it and it sort of snaps solidly and satisfyingly into place.

It doesn’t move or jiggle free when driving or operating the buttons but can be removed easily with your finger when the battery needs replacing (CR2032).

I got one and could not program it with my Genie 7155 Garage Door Opener. The instruction says to push the "door" button 5 times before setting the Garage Door Opener to program (flashing blue LED) mode then to push the "door" button 3 times and wait for the flashing LED to turn solid. Mine never turns solid.

Can someone verify the instructions or advise what I am doing wrong?
