Vanity mirror garage opener...
 

I got the bug to tinker last night, so here's what I came up with.

I pulled the vanity light assembly out of my driver-side visor, gutted it, and tucked a very small garage door remote into the void. The opener is held in place with a couple of smears of RTV...

I then modified the mirror mounting so it could slide a bit, but is held in place with an elastic band. Now that the proof of concept works, I'll replace with dabs of silicon.

Now the vanity mirror looks just like a vanity mirror, but if you press the center, the garage door goes up and down.

Is there any way to get youtube links to work, or no?

To get the link to work
 

you copy the http thru 6e stuff into the address bar of a new tab of the browser.

brilliant, finger smears aside. :)

But what if you drive without gloves on? Oh I know, you hit it with your forehead. :)

Nice idea. There are several methods for integrating a garage door opener into a Boxster. I used this one from RennTech:

Your method is less expensive and easier to install.

Gump...you are a G-D genius !

very smart idea. however, i've already done the garage door hack to the button near the airvents. any other ideas of what i can stuff in the vanity mirror?

Well, there's the oil slick dispenser, ejection seat, and flamethrower mods to consider...

In all seriousness, though, I have Flash2Pass installed, but the range is so disappointing I thought I'd try something new.
