Hidden remotes....newest project

[newby]

This isn't anything big, but it turned out to be a very nice project. I got tired of having my garage door remote up on the visor. Not only does it look bad, but with the Targa off, someone could steal it very easily when parked.

So I removed the old switch from the circuit board and ran some wires to a couple new switches that I mounted in my accessory tray. There was enough space under the access. tray to mount the remotes.

Works pretty slick..... Just wanted to share :smile:

That's a cool way to do it, good job.

I carried around 2 garage remotes in my targa. But I don't need both remotes anymore as the Gentex mirror I purchased in the group buy replaced them.

I had a buddy with a kit that hooked up to the bright light switch. Pull up to the garage and flash the brights and it would open.

Very cool idea. Don't mind if I borrow it. :biggrin:

I second the Gentex mirror with the Homelink feature that allows you to open the garage door. It's so neat and handy. :wink:

I've heard of that set up used on motorcycles...it's a nice kit. :smile:

I would have preferred to get the mirror that you guys are talking about, but this is my temporary solution for the time being. I'm doing the same type of set up on my motorcycle.
As far as location of the switches goes, this was the cheapest replacement piece I could find. And it's in easy reach of my shifting hand :smile:
