HomeLink problem - either Z or Murano, not both.

First post - just bought a 2011 370Z Touring Sport Coupe after 20 years of trucks. This is actually my 7th Z car, but the most recent prior was an 1982 280 ZX Turbo. This 370Z is just an amazing refinement.

Anyway, I went to program the HomeLink transmitter for our Genie (Intellicode) garage door opener. It programs for the Z just fine, but once linked to the Z, it disables the Homelink in my wife's Murano. If I then go back and reprogram the Murano, the Z is unlinked, and back-and-forth. I can't get the Homelink to work on both the Z and the Murano at the same time.

To add to the confusion, all this reprogramming has NO effect on the Homelink in my GMC Sierra -- it continues to work fine with that garage door. Additionally, I have no problem getting all three HomeLink units to work with the Chamberlain garage door opener on my storage garage.

I realize it's kind of an obscure question, but it's irritating. All I get from the Nissan dealer is a blank look, and emailing the Genie company just gets me a form-letter email that provides the same programming instruction as in the Nissan owner's manuals.

Any of you have similar issues?

It's not the cars, it's the garage door opener. Look online or via the manual on how to program two separate controllers.

EDIT: Ah, Genie says to RTFM.....Hmmm

I was thinking that except the the GMC is fine.

I'm curious to know what the fix for this might be myself since I'm considering adding a HomeLink to my Xterra.

Maybe the garage unit can only accept two remotes, one for the GMC and either the Z or Murano?

A guy on another forum put me onto the apparent answer....Genie's (don't know about the other brands) can only accept 7 remote devices. My guess is then that I already had 7 devices programmed (two hand-held remotes, a wireless keypad remote, my previous GMC, my current GMC, my wife's previous Murano and her current Murano. When I added the 8th device (the Z), it knocked off the most recent previous, my wife's Murano. When I reprogrammed the Murano, it knocked the Z off.

On a Genie, holding down the "Learn" button on the opener for 20 seconds clears ALL the devices it has programmed, so I did that, added the Murano, Z, GMC, wireless keypad and one hand-held remote and now we're good to go.
