It is really duck soup. I did little soldering, but I did buy the harness connector from Becker to tap power from the cell phone connector without cutting or splicing original wires.

The hardest part is figuring out the garage door remote's printed circuit board (PCB) wiring if you want to use vehicle power. I just followed the circuits from the battery connectors to the microswitch that triggers the remote.

I pulled the switch out and soldered (using very small soldering iron and tiny bit of solder) +12V and brown ground wire into the PCB where the switch had been. (Make sure your remote is 12V, not 9V.) So when I press the Targa switch in the dash the circuit is closed and power is applied.

You can always use battery power as they seem to last for years.

A 12v test lamp is very helpful.
