Didn't even realize that this could be done-happen to have an extra door opener so I'm going to give it a shot.

I just checked with the local Porsche dealer in Atlanta, they wanted more than $40 for the part and they couldn't get it until Tuesday. Sunset Imports, $23.09 for the part, $7-8 for shipping. Don't think I'll ever use the local guys again for parts-that kind of markup ticks me off.

same. i just ordered mine today. $23.09 switch + $7.43 shipping to NYC, went out today via UPS.

sunset import is the best!

 

alex has a gate??? have been payin my gate attendent to open the gate as i approach..... who opens the gate for our guests???? guess i could get a part time person...

 

This is a cool mod. I just ordered the switch from Sunset.

 

yeah kirby's mod is the shiz u dont have to spend so much money on the homelink crap n stuff..!

 

so you are saying we can use any garage opener and take it apart? Please help I want to do this also. My garage opener is running off of the aaa baterry would i need to purchase a thinner model?

 

I assume that even if you were to put the case from the transmitter back on that the module still gets power from the car or do you have to worry about batteries in that thing still?

 

It would be nice not to have to replace a battery.

 

I Think if you put in a fresh battery at install you shouldn't have to worry about it for a long time. I don't remember the last time I had to change the battery in my garage door opener.

 

Here the fix power on with a genie opener

I don't want to mess with a battery. I actually have changed several. Not in the same remote though

 

I've had mine working for almost 4yrs now...Battery still going strong. Plus I ran the remote under the Glove box, so if i do need to change out the battery it's really easy to access.

 

What about range? Obviously the visor is a good spot!

 

Or you could buy one of these.
