You may need a compatibility bridge, and you may be able to get it for free. It won't work for me since the bridge needs power and my openers would be useless when the power goes out (which happens a lot in my area for some reason). From the site:

The HomeLink Compatibility Bridge Kit is designed to allow compatibility between a newer Chamberlain, Sears Craftsman, or LiftMaster garage door opener fitted with a yellow antenna wire and the HomeLink system in your vehicle. These garage door openers were manufactured in 2011 or later. If your opener does not have a yellow antenna wire or is not one of the brands listed above, please consider purchasing a Universal Receiver to ensure compatibility.
You need a newer car if you want new toys in the home j/k
