who knows how to do this, and how hard is it?


THANKS!

 

un... cam the center console be programmed? or can the garage door receiver?

 

by center console, im talkin about the place near the e-brake where you can put in a button, i've seen it done to a few subies and i've finally got a garage so i want to do this

 

oh so you dont have the transmitter in the car yet...

hold on... i found a place in SSF that sells them for retrofit in cars...

lemme see if i can find it...

BINGO: http://www.mikadotech.com/index.html

 

You could also take apart one of your remotes, drill a hole in the piece in your center console, and find a small button to go in the hole. Shouldnt be too hard to rig it up so that it hits the button on the opener.

 

Yea just put the guts under the console and wire it to the button.

 

lol

lookin for a little more of a description there NZO

 

Im no electical expert but I would think you could just buy a momentary switch button then take apart the control and find out how the stock button is wired. Then wire your button in its place and put the board and stuff under the center console. Dunno how much room a WRX has under the console but I'm guessing its more than enough for a small garagedoor opener.

 

My door opener used a 12v photo style battery, I took it apart, soldered leads to the battery terminals and soldered a small push button switch from Radio Shack. I connected the power leads to the light circuit in the overhead map lights. Tucked the opener wrapped in foam inside the headliner area, and drilled a hole for the button to stick out in between the lights. Now it's just a little black button that nobody even notices.

 

oh you dont have that standard on your car?

 

If you need some help, I like playing with electronics...

example...

 

Max, try this garage door transmitter mod from ScoobyMods.com. I don't know if you'll be able to view the pics unless you're a registered member, though.

They call this homelink on newer cars... many come with it built into the console or visors.

 

Max, have you done it yet? I just did it today. It was pretty darn easy. I spend about $20 on the whole setup.

25ft 18 gauge power/ground wires (most expensive item)
2 inline fuse holders
4 5x20 fuses
2 momentary switches
box of wire connectors (about 10-20 in a box)
