It took me a few tries to get the programming down as well. The key is that you have to go through the complete programming process in order for it to work, which means you have to "set" each parameter along the way. And, if you go too far, it won't take either. I follow along in the printed instructions through the programming steps to make sure I am on track and stop at the end. It took me a few tries to get it, but now I have it down (I still follow the instructions). I actually had to walk away and come back another day to figure it out. Once you get frustrated, the learning tends to stop and them things get worse. once you get into the programming mode, you are almost there.
