HomeLink would not able to bind to garage door

Mods..please feel free to remove or delete if repeat..i try searching but no thread specifically related to this issue.

My issue..
Garage Door opener - newer model with the latest security feature won't work with homelink option. In my case, i have the new Sears Craftman Assure link. What happen is that the homelink feature on my 2012 JCW HT can't bind no matter what method i use whether from homelink.com, forums, instruction manual.

Solution
Call homelink up and say you spend over 600 on an option to find out it doesn't work with your garage opener....PLEASE BE VERY NICE!! They are going to try to charge you 30 bucks plus shipping for a repeater. Instead just insist that you just spend 600 dollars option (Not sure the exact cost) and can't use it. I was able to get away with just paying 7 bucks for shipping.

Within a week, i got the repeater and repeat the step from the manual. Work like a charm.
