Difficult Garage Door Mod
Does anyone know how to use the popular garge door opener mod with one to the newer, advanced remotes? I have a Liftmaster 971 remote which modulates through billions(?) of codes and uses a 3V disk battery.
Thank you....
Thank you....

It has a button to press, right? Wire into the button with a relay. The battery voltage or number of codes it rolls through is irrelevant.

Is there a way to wire a garage remote to the car or do you all just use velcro for the remote or what? I'm not too keen on leaving the remote in plain site for security reasons. I had a buddy suggest the homelink mirrors but those are huge. Any other ideas?

In the past, I simply hooked the switch up to the brights through a relay... pull in, flash the brights, door goes up, flash 'em again, door goes down.
if your remote is a 12v remote, then wire the power lead to your high beams or a switch of your choice and your good to go. i've also got this done on my garage

Actually, it doesn't matter if your remote is 12V or not, as long as you continue to use batteries... the relay isolates the remote from the car's electrical system.
I found wiring the button to be harder than just swapping power sources, but either way it works

I bought a visor with a homelink transmitter in it off ebay for about $20 (off a Lincoln for my Subie, off a Maxima for the S). Wired it up under the dash, trained it with the garage remotes so now I can open either garage door and no remotes in the car. Using the third homelink button for my dad's house.
