Default Garage door opener with the ASR switch
Just wanted to post a few pics of my garage door opener install into the radio bezel and using the ASR switch to open the garage. I'm not going to get into details, because this has been covered before, but you basically use the two smaller wires (E and F) in the pictures below, as an outside switch to trigger the circuit on the garage door opener board.

I hope the pics are self explanatory.

I've got an extra ASR switch and pigtail. Thinking about installing another one for the gate to my community. But then.... what to do with the Camaro SS logo that goes there. Sigh.....

How about having emblempros make you smaller square emblem to occupy the last empty switch hole, with maybe the camaro sheild logo in it.

Why not use a few resistors and replace the battery power for hard wired power?

I could. But the at the time, leaving it the way it is, works fine too. Plus I'd have to get a constant power line up there and didn't feel like it That battery will probably last many years.
