Garage Door Opener

[8RT robert]

Does anyone know of a way to wire a garage remote control fob to a 996. So rather than fumbeling for the remote control i could just push a button on the dash board.I thought i had seen a thread about this on the Renn Tech site but could not find it?

Get one that operates on 904nm laser. It will automatically open the door as you approach and conveniently also jam scammers

Thanks BlairOut for your reply, dont want to sound to thick! but what is a 904 nm laser and where would i get one. As i drive down the mews where i live would every garage door open up?

I know the one you mean. They wired one into a Targa switch, so it looked like a garage door?

Very, very good.

Have a search on boxa.net too. I'm sure someone linked to it, then had a crack themselves.

They are also conveniently known as a laser jammer they just happen to open garage doors too. You would need big cajones to use one, as the are taking a very dim view. They don't want to lose a healthy revenue stream

p-car.com has a "how-to" article on wiring a "conventional" door opener to the dashboard switches.

I have my door opener wired to a momentary action switch in the batwing bit above the centre tunnel.

The sender unit is behind the fascia plate, so all looks very tidy.

Works very well, so I can press the button as I approach the house and drive straight in to the garage.

BRT,

US spec vehicles often come with an option called "Homelink". The "Homelink" can be programmed with up to three remote control channels so you can unlock your gates, switch on your security lights and open your garage door etc. Unfortunately, the system is not available as an official option in Europe. Also, the frequencies between US and Europe are different so you can't just order the US spec part and fit it to your car.

I would be surprised if there isn't some sort of accessory part that you can fit to your car. Keep looking.

Good luck.
