Around 10 years ago, I bought a house that had two garage doors and each door had it's own separate remote and each were the insecure fixed-code kind.

I was able to easily wire-up a replacement receiver to the opener unit that allowed me to update them them to rolling code systems that were more secure and would allow me to control both on one remote. I remember it being a bit clunky, in that I had to plug the receiver into a wall outlet and run a wire back to the opener unit (I think most newer homes put in outlets in the ceiling for the opener to plug into, but this one was directly wired into a ceiling box), but it wasn't very hard to install and was a lot better than having to replace the entire unit!
