Hardwired Garage Door Remote

[Synomenon]

Found it! Garage door switch. Pick it up on eBay, wired it to my opener, popped the panel off, pulled blank and installed new switch. Works great!

Sorry to bump an old thread. Would you mind posting links to all the parts you used for this? My 2017 Sport Touring hatchback has the blank plates as well to the left of the steering wheel. Thanks.

I bought the switch on ebay. How exactly do you pull the panel off to install it?

It pops off... I used these for instructions.

Do you just yank the trim under the steering wheel off or is there any tools and special technique required? I'm planning to tape add a momentary button and tape my garage door opener under that trim.

If you are not handy with soldering you can do this.

I used the blank with a 16mm momentary switch and remote controlled from Mo-Door. 15 min install. Check out the thread below.

I did the same thing, except I wired the momentary switch to my current garage door remote. Does the job, and also used 16mm switch from aliexpress.

Nice...same concept. Just easier for this like me that are not electrcallel inclined...

Literally plug and play....

Also, the offer a range extender you connect to your garage motor that is supposed to drastically increase the range of any remote you use for your garage.

Do you know if we can use the momentary switch with LED? Just want it to light up when pressed. Thanks.

It's actually really easy (and if you have a spare remote, so you aren't completely screwed if you messed up). You just have to wire to the 2 connectors that open/close the garage door to the switch. All the buttons do is short those 2 connections. I just have my garage door remote velcro'ed to the firewall in the footwell now. Out of sight too. Can technically hardwire for 12V from the car too then no need to change batteries but these things only need changing once every few years so I didn't bother.

Thanks. So basically connect the LED 2 connections needed to each other then to the negative on the switch. The light should turn on each time I press correct?

Oh I was referring to the remote control not the LED lol. I have no idea how to do that. Possibly, if your remote control has a LED just wire it the same way, in parallel, it'll probably light up. I'm not expert on electricals unfortunately....

Got it... thanks...my remote works fine with that he module from Mo-Door. I prefer to have LED button that will light up when pressed. Just nice to have a visual reference. Even better if the LED is hard wired so always on when car is running.
