  • Put two and two together (button mod) (56k grab a latte)

    While driving home today and looking at the empty spot on the panel to the left of my steering wheel and later opening my center console to press the button i put two and two together and said "i'm sure i can find a way to create a mod with a button or something and my garage door opener" and sure enough i hopped on here to see if anyone did it and found this lol. But anyway i took some pics so enjoy!


    I soldered 2 wires to the two points underneath the garage door opener board. Then attached those two wires to the momentary switch (thanks jnak) and voila.


    The problem with the small extra panel piece is that i didn't have much room and that thing that covers the main piece was blocking the area i made the hole so i sawed that off. I don't think it looks too bad though

    That's cool if you don't have fog lights there.

      great idea... but I have my fog light switch there... My dads new Silverado has an Aux switch for exactly what your talking about... its a very cool idea. You program it to the garage opener code and voila!!

        Very cool idea and a nice breif how-to also. The new button came out looking stock in that spot and looks good. Now you don't have to ever worry about where that damn garage door opener is

            Like said before. I like the idea but my fog light switch is there. Also nice write up.

              Nice idea!

              For those of you with fog lights you can always put it where the adjustable pedals are (assuming you don't have them)

                    You could put the button in the headliner, where the map lights and sunroof switch are.

                      That would work good. Kinda like the home-link my wifes car has. I might do that. Thanks.

                        Thats a really good idea. Too bad I don't have a garage at the moment and the new place I'm moving to doesn't have an opener. Might have fix that though. Good job dude.

                          what happens when the battery dies? Do you have to take everything apart again?

                            That side panel on your dash pops off in like one second with your fingers and he could get to the battery no prob.
