Default Garage door programming issue

I can't get my 2024 SQ8 to pair with my Liftmaster rolling code garage door. The MMI doesn't seem to work the way Audi videos show. Anyone have an issue programming theirs? It's a newer (8550W) unit, so it works well with the latest tech. Totally stumped, but it's annoying as hell. Appreciate any help.

Are you pressing the learn button on your garage receiver while you're trying to program your homelink?

I had this same issue myself recently but as HCUORG suggested use the "learn" button on the motor itself, that solved my problems!

Yes. I've gone through the exact same process for a typical rolling code unit - same with my other car.

I never pulled fuses, so I don’t expect that the solution in the link to work. I remember it being like one critical step missing from all the instructions and when I came across it it worked like a charm.

This (see screenshot) sounds familiar (it’s a Ridgeline, but replace the first step with the Audi initial step):



I feel like this was it- program the remote to your car, then “learn” your car as a new remote to the unit.

Im game to figure this out on Tuesday when kids are back in school if this didn’t work, I’d totally go back and try and repair mine but I’m almost certain this was it.
