I have attached a photo with my new, flipped, non-Aussie style button.

Btw - how do I include pictures directly in my post? How do you guys do that?

Thanks,
Lars

Hi Stephen,

Sure - it's really pretty simple. I bought the button on ****************************************************.com. Make sure you specify what finish you order the button in (blank or matte).

I took my old garage door opener remote apart and soldered some 20 gauge wires onto the two "contact" button points on the remote print board. At the other end of the wires, I crimped 1/4" female quick-connectors (I bought mine at Radioshack for $2 or so). Those connectors mount directly on the Porsche button. I used the following website for wiring instructions: http://www.gagme.com/greg/Boxster/hacks/garageswitch.php

Probably took me an hour or so - and it looks great and works like a charm. PM me if you want more help.
