Exact opener models XEKOV can cross-check
This is the complete exact-model subset currently present in XEKOV for this accessory’s published brand + protocol scope. It is a verification set, not a claim that the manufacturer supports only these opener models.
Compatibility limits
- Manufacturer-listed opener brand scope in XEKOV: Genie.
- It is not indexed for white-button Security+ 3.0 openers.
- Genie Intellicode coverage does not include older Genie DIP-switch fixed-code systems.
- A replaced receiver / logic board can make a physical opener differ from its original model specification.
How to interpret “broader”
A remote with more listed brands or radio families is not automatically a better replacement. The useful question is whether your exact opener sits inside the published intersection. A narrower same-brand accessory can be the clearer choice for one opener; a broader universal record can be useful when several different opener families must be covered.

Programming and safety
Use the programming instructions supplied by Genie for this exact accessory. Compatibility does not mean every programming sequence is identical. If a remote used to work and suddenly stopped, first check its battery and the manufacturer troubleshooting steps before erasing opener memory.
Manufacturer compatibility cutoffs and safety-sensor requirements are product- and market-specific. XEKOV’s dataset focuses on North America documentation; follow the exact manufacturer instructions and applicable local requirements. XEKOV does not provide instructions to bypass door safety devices or access controls. Use remotes only with systems you own or are authorized to operate.
Common questions
What openers does the Genie G3BT-R work with?
XEKOV records the manufacturer-listed opener-brand scope as Genie and the protocol coverage as Intellicode 315/390 MHz. A match needs both the correct brand scope and radio protocol.
Is the G3BT-R a universal remote?
Its indexed compatibility is limited to a narrow brand/protocol scope.
Do I need the same number of buttons as my old remote?
No. Button count determines how many doors/functions the accessory can control; it does not by itself determine brand or radio compatibility.
