5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on Overhead Door Legacy opener, August 31, 2007

I love my two-year old Overhead Door Legacy garage door opener, but a couple of weeks ago, I lost one of the remote transmitters (clicker) somehow and I got a nasty surprise. Seems that the Overhead Door people wanted to sell me the replacement for $39, plus state tax! I was determined to get this simple one-button remote for less than that.

My research turned up all kinds of confusing information, but I finally understood that Genie "Intellicode" and Overhead Door "Codedodger" technology is pretty much the same. After reading the specs on twelve different Genie remotes I decided to take a chance on this one, ordering it from Sanford & Son. Sanford & Son is amazing! I placed my order late on a Monday afternoon and the remote was in my hand with the delivery of the mail Thursday of the same week. And, there was no shipping charge!

Programming the remote took less than 60 seconds. It is a simple process of activating a "learn" function between the base unit and the remote (instructions are included). In appearance and function, the Genie and the Overhead Door remotes are identical, except for the wording on them.

Bottom line -- Instead of paying about $42 to buy a replacement Overhead Door remote locally, I bought this Genie remote from Sanford & Son for less than half that (special battery is included in the price) and it works perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intellicode opener remote, July 13, 2010

Easy to program. Purchase the GIT-1 Remote only if the side of your motor head says Genie Intellicode or Overhead Code Dodger. If your motor head does not say Genie Intellicode or Code Dodger, this opener will not work. Your current remote should look like the one in the picture or have the following numbers on the back of the current remote: GIC90-1, GIC-1, OCDT-1, GIT90-1, ACSCTG Type 1, ACSGT, ACSGT Type 1, ACSCTO Type 1.

This was so easy to set up. Just push the button on your opener...watch for a flashing light....push the button on the remote...and voila!!!you're ready to open and close the door.
