Go to Lowes, purchase a new belt driven unit (Chamberlain or Craftsman), pay for installation and enjoy a new quiet opener. We did just that after our wall keypad stopped working and saved hundreds. Installation was done by a local, reputable garage door company.

I found one on ebay a week ago and bought it and due to arrive today. Hopefully will get what I wanted. As of last week the seller had a few left.

Look it up by part number.

I ordered some that "Will work with all systems". Ha ha.
The MVP system is 288Hz. Can not find any that will cover that frequency. If I put in a new system you can bet there will be a lot of prior homework.

Happens more than you think, our old house you could open multiple neighbors doors with your remote. Most didn’t reprogram when they bought and about 15 houses could open up other neighborhood doors.

Probably couple houses down, opened their door, and it triggered your opener. It was very common in new villages for a long time.

I was lucky to be able to buy one from someone on this post. A very nice helpful gentleman. The remote is no longer available - I searched and searched. Thank you!

Try eBay if not there but a new system.

Had same issues. Went to Lowes bought belt drive on sale total cost around 350 installed that also works WiFi on my phone much better opener I did call a few local companies that install garage doors. They were over double that price.

[OhioBuckeye]

You might call the manufacturer I’m sure they could help you!

There were three remotes for sale on Nextdoor yesterday.

[Mailmom86]

I got mine on Amazon

Good luck on finding one. I have been to 6 different garage door co. Nobody has them. I even opened one up and got manufactures name and called them. They stopped making them 8 years ago. I told them that there are probably 30,000 MVP openers in the Villages and some body could make a lot of money by re-manufacturing them. …So off to Lowes and bought to Genie belt drive opener, came with remotes, wall buttons and outside key pads. $190 each. Put them in and they run super quiet. Way to go😎

Very easy to program.

Can you advise as to what kind of remote you ordered?

One solution I have found that is inexpensive is to use a smart unit attached to the existing garage door opener like Meross. You can control the door with a smart phone and the best part you can setup to alert you when door is opened, closed or set alerts for when door is left open for a preset time (like an hour). The install is quite simple just hooking the wires in with the existing wires in the back of the opener and connecting to existing WiFi. No more anxiety about doors left open!

What was the charge for installation?
