HomeLink
HomeLink works fine with MVP’s. Have used it in three vehicles

I have used my HomeLink on 5 different kinds of openers and never had a problem until the MVP. I'll have to try again.

Do you know what year your actual garage door opener is?

The vehicles I've linked the opener to have worked flawlessly, by holding the remote close to the vehicles HomeLink buttons. I've never had to set any DIP switches or button positions

Found brand specific instructions on the HomeLink page and after I quit trying, went back in the car and hit the button and it worked.

See Post #2 for a photo. Don’t forget, briefly push the paperclip to enter learning mode. The garage door opener light will flash. If you depress the button too long, it will clear all codes.

The MVP units appear to be completely proprietary. I could not even get these to work with garage door opener built into my car....
My Pacifica just needs you to hold a programmed remote next to the buttons on the visor and press the visor button you want to program and the remote button that operates the garage door at the same time until the led on the visor stops flashing and then it is programmed.

Bingo. Same with three vehicles I’ve linked them with. Very easy to do.

Can anyone help?

The LEARN button is on the unit that's installed in the ceiling of your garage. There will probably be some wiring connections and maybe an antenna wire in the same location as the LEARN button...

MVP does not have rolling codes like most modern openers. One of the least secure openers.

There was another step in the Home Link instructions for my car. After the led is solid press the HomeLink button 3 times.

This is likely to be the manual for your MVP AllStar garage door opener. <https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aclickawayremotes.com %2Fcontent%2Fallstar_110925.pdf>

It is still a good remote. I have had mine 12 years and never had a problem, so what's wrong with Romac, except if you need service. Too long to wait.

The AllStar garage door opener is extremely loud. First signs of trouble I'm switching it out for a Liftmaster.
