OEM garage opener kit

Seller says that this is plug and play..fifteen minute install. Really that simple? What does installation entail? Thanks.

Doc,

Is there a link or something that you forgot to attach? I ask because I'd really like to have a dash switch door opener. I've seen the various hacks, but my electronics skills are sorely lacking. A plug and play is exactly what I'm looking for.

I would love to this as well.

I do not have one of the openers specified that it works on.

I wonder if it could hard wired for power so there would be no need to change the battery?

I like that switch with the garage doors! Looks like a Liftmaster printed circuit board. Porsche uses Homelink from Mito.

It's a hack, I have it in my Boxster and have made a couple up for others. The switch is a Targe Shade Switch that looks conveniently like a garage door, it's a two position switch that looks right at home in the dash. All you need to do is take your garage door opener and solder a couple of wires in then snap it in to the dash, works great.

The switch is about $30 from Suncoast, for the actual circuit you can use any garage door opener that works with your garage. You can hook up two openers, one on each side of the switch.

Chris.
