I call BS on the 'simple' part of it.

That would NOT work on my garage door :laughing6-hehe:

What? The video or the image of McQueen giving you the finger? :laughing6-hehe:

Simple to make with children, I've got 2 spares if anybody's short.

At first I though the thread title should read inexpensive, but I see he got it right. :laughing6-hehe:

That's exactly the kind of garage door opener I had before I sold my house. Except I must have had the imported version, sometimes it took more than two honks on the horn.

what.... ???? I though every guy had this mod installed....

OH YEAH!

My Flash2Pass opener is wired to the high beam circuit. It works, but it isn't nearly as entertaining as this one!...

:laughing6-hehe:

I utilised the blanking plate in the right-hand switch block, installed a small black momentary switch in there, connected to the garage door opener in the fairing above the headlight by a wire soldered across the door opener switch. Works from about 60 metres away.
The only trouble I've had is the switch contacts don't last long (about a year to 18 months), possibly because of it not being waterproof, so I've had to replace it twice.
