Remote fobs for gates/garage

[audi321]

A bit random I know, but does anyone know of a true cloning remote which can clone multiple brands of fobs? I have a fob for my garage and another for my gates but they're both different makes.

I have tried multiple 'cheap' ones from Amazon/ebay and they either don't work, or will work with one but not both. Seems there's more to it than just buying a 433.92MHz one, the brand must matter somehow.

Anyways.....first world problem I know, but does anyone know of one which I can program both onto and save my keys some weight!

Brand always matters.
There are at least two different transmitting ways / frequencies.
I made the mistake of buying something off ebay which I thought would work. I'll never see that £4.35 again!
Anyway the one I wanted was a little bit more expensive (£20 - ebay again) but did the trick.
Unfortunately there is no simple way - you have to do the research.

Could you share a link? Also what brand you were cloning?

Obvious one, but are your gate and door both the same frequency?

If they aren't, the option would be to add a new receiver board of the matching frequency to the garage door, utilising the button-push terminals usually found on the motor unit.

They both say 433.92MHz so I guess so?

Lots of good ideas on here, the Bluetooth one is interesting as that would solve a lot of issues. Might get one to try out thanks all.
