[AT] Off Topic - Keyless remotes for truck

Very different now. Most garage doors and auto remotes now use
encryption and rotating codes as well as having
a LOT more base codes as well. The remote for my wifes Blazer uses 6
million different code combinations.
So now days the chances are much less likely that two remotes sold
independently will operate the
same way.
