If it’s an MVP Allstar model, the learn mode is a small opening in the indoor wall mounted buttons by your door to the house.

The Allstar MVP is not compatible with a lot of the accessories sold. This gives Romac a lot of business.

Try Youtube and looking for an on line manual.

What accessories am I missing? What do you need besides a keypad and remotes for cars?

I see someone gave you a photo
Many (most) villages garage door openers are this AllStar MVP (at least where I live). The picture provided is for this model, but I assume other vendors might have a similar very small hole. You put in a paperclip to start the learn mode. Lights on the motor unit usually flash to signal you have entered. For an MVP to work with an external keypad, I am sure you need to purchase their model. I got mine from Amazon search on "Allstar 110927 MVP Wireless Keypad". Also, Ace Hardware probably has them.

OP, please state which make/model of garage door opener you have as the are major differences between manufacturers and as noted above different manufacturers usually do NOT work interchangeably. The MVP units appear to be completely proprietary. I could not even get these to work with garage door opener built into my car....

I’ve got a keypad, remotes and have synced to my vehicles built in opener. I have no desire to have My Q or any WiFi controller access.
By the way, what is Home Base for a car? |

I think that LEARN button is on the garage opener motor housing ...

Spent 3 hours with hubby one afternoon programming it after purchasing another clicker. I would’ve paid $$$$ to have someone do it for us! Ridiculous.

The learn button is normally on the back of the motor. You may need to take the light shield off to get to it. You’ll need a ladder to access it.
