Well removing the Dash to repair the melted wire I decided to take advantage and dye everything. It made me think.. I saw someone make their own using a factory button, but haven't seen anyone use an original HomeLink Garage Door Opener. If you don't know what it is, HomeLink is still being installed in cars today as universal garage door openers. Since around 00 i believe. My old DSMs had them, well the high end ones had them and all I had were built motor AWD massive turbo toys, I never used that stuff. And sometimes I removed them from the cars just because a sun visor isn't needed in a legit race car. Well what do you know, I still had one laying around.
This is the HomeLink unit extracted from the visor.
It only requires 12v constant or switched if you don't want the opener to work without a key. I'm not sure if it has memory to handle a switched source, but I can find out soon with my new house.
The cover comes off, and I'm sure you can get creative on where to install one. The button panel inside the black box is on a ribbon cable so modifying the box to fit this sucker somewhere nice Like the batwing should be easy.
I am unsure where I'm going to put mine but it will look as OEM as I can get it. I will update this post when I move along with it.
