But I thought that it deserved it's own thread considering how much energy it required for me to get off my ass and take pics of my setup.

I got the part from http://shop.cargravo.com/produ...id=28

The part included the leads and the electric connection to get the backlight to work with the rest of the interior lights. The rest of the job was soldering the leads to the right part of the garage door opener's motherboard.

Looks totally OEM.

You just pull out the buttons.

Solder the leads from the button to your garage door opener motherboard.

Tape up and tuck behind the panel. (plenty of room although if you have an old school opener you might need to modify the housing)

...and that's it. As the title states: Homemade Homelink Son!

Trial and error son! Just held the leads to the different points on the garage door opener motherboard and (if you have it right) press the button and see if the garage door opens/closes.

And by trial and error, I mean like 2 minutes. It's pretty self explanatory once you have the garage door opener brains on the table.

You'll have to follow the same process for the aftermarket buttons that OC and presns used.

Interesting. I would start by getting the remote V1 control thingy and I guess open it up to see what the brains look like.

Don't make send Tp over there to e-thug you!

My three button combo is TPMS, ESP, and V1 mute. I soldered wires to the remote display mute button, and used an OEM blank switch. Had to buy a red led from radio shack, so there is a light glow all the time. The airbag light is still connected, but just stashed behind inside the dash.

let me see some pics

Most women want 1 ring on their finger. My woman wants 4 silver rings in the driveway but 3 kids required a Town and Country
