Visor Garage Door Opener Question

Does anyone know or has anyone installed a sunvisor with integrated garage door opener? My old Chrysler had one and it would be nice to add one to my Camaro. I know most visors look similar but was wondering if anyone had info on this. Maybe GM makes one for another model which will fit?

Haven't heard of that. But have heard of guys wiring their opener to the cig lighter. They would tuck the opener under the dash and just push in the lighter.

the C6 corvettes have the garage door opener in the sunvisor but not sure if it would work in our cars.
