Re: So... What is wrong with your NEW SRX?

ALL other remotes work from 100 feet away, including HomeLink remotes in cars. This is the ONLY Remote that gives me grief.
Very annoying to have to move my car around in my driveway to try to get the garage door to close. (No :: I refuse to order a hand held unit.. I already have one of those for one door because GM choose NOT to use HomeLink and that door only works with those.)
Our 2005 SRX has the original eqpt 3 button opener (Homelink or ??) installed on the driver's visor; and it works with 1) a very old Chamberlain screwdrive unit with a frequency that you cannot even buy replacement remotes for, 2) a several year old Genie with settable code digital receiver, 3) a nearly-new Genie with "intelli-code?" changable codes.
All 3 activate from ~ 60-80 ft away regularly without fail.

What is your "universal" remote? Was it OEM with your SRX??
Good luck!!
