Default 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.

I wired my garage door opener to a traction control switch. Mounted the remote under the dash (where the defroster is for the windshield) and ran the wires to the switch and the switch is next to the foglight switch.

Yea, I have mine wired to a switch in the ash tray but I moved and now I have to take it apart and redo it. To have it in the visor would be nice.

I have my garage door opener on my sun visor. No one sees it, and I don't care enough to wire it to anything.
