My 98 trained right up to my ca. 2005 Genie Intellicode and my dad's ca. 2008 LiftMaster. Both of these are "rolling code" units.

I know rolling code came out in the late 90s, I wonder if the 97s were different than the 98s on being able to handle the rolling code system.

Try this:
- hold down L and R buttons for 20 seconds until it flashes to clear it out
- Using your current remote do the press and hold thing (per the manual) until the visor light fast flashes (sometimes you have to do it a couple times for it to take)
- Go to your opener and press (and release) the learn button, there is usually an LED next to the learn button that should turn on or flash (this part is not in the manual, at least not in the manual for my 98)
- Go back to the car, hit the programmed visor button several times until the door starts moving.

I would be careful with the car in the garage, make sure the car is clear of the door or else be sure the drive mechanism is disengaged.
