you should share how you did that! garage door openers are the biggest pet peeves of mine

just soldered 2 wires to the switch inside the opener...its really very simple to do

thanks! ive been wiring up LED's all week, so i figured this would solve my opener problem. the damn thing always didnt work, or fell off my visor. not to mention it was fugly.

i thought about my cig lighter, but as much as i use it for ipod/cell charging, it wouldnt be practical.
