I tried changing the battery in my opener remote to no avail, tried many different combinations of distances, which button I pushed first, etc. Luckily, I was in need of a new remote for another vehicle because the old one had been lost. Lo and behold, after ordering a brand new remote and programming it with the opener, it was able to program my X1 with no problems at all exactly as stated in the directions.
I would suggest going to a home improvement store and buying a new remote to program the car. If it works, you have a second remote (only about $10) or you could just return it to the store. Good luck!

Your experience is exactly what I am going through - it will not complete even the first step, just blinks slowly and then eventually goes out. My Chamberlain remote will open the door from a block away so it is obviously not weak, so I can't see how getting a new remote would change anything? What was involved with programming the new remote with the opener? Maybe that is the magic step?
