Universal Garage Door Opener Fixed Code?

Just got a new house and there are 2 separate garage doors. The openers are really old, fixed code. But something's changed, there's an Allstar MVP remote system on 1 of the 2 I think. There's only 1 remote with 2 buttons, one for the left, one for the right. There's only 1 bank of dip switches in the remote, no dip switches on the openers and nothing in the newer added-on Allstar box that's only on 1 of the doors. Can't figure out how to get the buttons in my visor to work. I got it working such that both open when left button is pressed which is better than nothing but the right button did nothing (middle shouldn't do anything). Then I had it so that both the left and right buttons on visor both only opened the left side, couldn't get the right side to open. I only have 1 "code" from the dip switches in the remote but somehow the one remote can operate both doors.

 

Any ideas?

Figured it out for anyone who may have the same issue.

0. start a beer

1. hit all 3 buttons on visor

2. punch in dip switch code that was in the old remote

3. hit all 3 buttons on visor

4. press and hold far left visor button (for left door) until left door lifts, let go immediately after it starts opening.

5. hit all 3

6. put in dip switch code

7. hit all 3

8. press and hold far right visor button (for right door) until right door lifts, then let go. In this process, the left door opened first, ignore, let go when right door starts opening.

9. start another beer
