DIY Garage Door Opener for dash cubby

[Abbers1125]

Thought I would share this little build I did that was inspired by some videos online.

Programed a universal garage door opener and soldered to a momentary blue flush button. Then I attached to a 3D printed cubby I purchased on Etsy.

Works great and is cleaner looking than a button clipped to the visor in my opinion.

Looks like a coin slot for an old console video game.

Looks good. I'll just do a visor opener. That's too much effort...

Whats the black knob on the bottom for? Just something to grab on to?

Correct. Just something to make it easier to pull the little cubby out from the opening

That's really neat. I just velcro taped mine underneath the push start button.

A great idea well done.

Lol, I have that cubby bank too. Of course mine is just the bank, which I can't seem to get back outta the cubby.

Pretty neat. I don't even have my garage door opener in my truck. I use the Meross app on my phone that works with Google voice to open the door.

So you made the switch but the coin bank from Etsy right?

Which garage door opener did you use? I've looked at a couple but the pcb appears to be too big for the cubby.
