Installed one of my remotes behind radio and wired it to an unused button below the radio. Thanks Evilution for the instructions on making the unused button work

Duckhunter stole my idea!!!!!!!!!!

I already bought spare garage opener and it is on my list of mods. If he is not will post anything, expect me to do detailed DIY.

Use one of unused switches on dash, under radio, Pull the panel off. Wire leads to unused switch. Hook up new wire leads to the switch on a old garage door opener. Velcro the opener under dash. Open garage

Thats a great idea!!

Of course my wife wants to know what the button with all the tacks on it is for.....

Also make yourself a remote hatch opener too for the back of the car. Lots of unused buttons.

Hate to say it but was done even before I thought about the piture things.

Used button 2 per evilutions site and wiring. Had to get a pin for the connector from the shack, was not an exact fit but made it work.

cubefx, its up to you

~Smart Car Garage Door Opener Remote~
~I was looking for a good place to locate a Garage Door Remote in a handy location in the Smart, and found a good location that the Remote has been in for the last year... After a Year of it being in the position of the pictures below, it turned out to be the perfect location... Easy to get to (your hand falls naturally to it) and from sitting in ether seat you cannot see it at all in that location... The Remote has not been in conflict with anything in the Cup holder in that year... I attached it with tape on Velcro... The Range has been as good as any of my standard size hand Remote's or built in Remote's...
~I ordered a Mini Remote for my Stanley garage door opener from the Link below... The price was right from them $15.45 Total to my door...<:-))

Good location, Brabus007. But I've got multiple remotes for home & work & gates, so if anyone modded their buttons or found a better solution (like Brabus007), please post. Thanks!
