Great idea.

Does anyone know if a similar switch is available that I can use for my Garage door controller mod? Basically I can use a similar switch wired to a (concealed) garage door opener to have a switch for Garage door opening in my 2004 Boxster base. Pics attached for reference..

It would be great if I can find a switch that has some image for this purpose embossed/printed on it. In absence of that I am forced to use a window up and down switch and I found it is not easy to remove the print...:-)

Thanks!

Yes there is a button with the garage door opener, but it comes only in mate finish (Carrera style) and horysontly mounted.

Here is a thread I started awhile back on the subject.

Mine just arrived from Germany. Fast shipping. Anything to watch out for now that you`ve done one ? Most of my concerns are getting the plastic bits off and the cluster. Where the connectors hard to find behind the cluster ?
