Garage door opener

[Handyone]

Anyone know if the built in opener is active on my 2014 Yukon Denali when the ignition is off. I park outside most of the time and don't want to chance some low life breaking out my window pushing the button & getting in my garage.

I took one of my garage door openers apart and added a momentary switch that I hid from sight. As long as you have basic soldering skills, it’s a piece of cake. HD has the switch/button in stock. It is scary that someone can break in to your vehicle and hit the HomeLink button and open your garage.

A momentary switch on the power feeding the HomeLink, so that you press the hidden momentary switch and the HomeLink button simultaneously for it to operate?



Can the power to the HomeLink be transferred to a switched source?

This is close to what I did

Ah! So you're not using the HomeLink at all. You have a totally hidden remote altogether. Cool!

I’m sure you could, but hacking a garage door opener would probably be easier depending on where you want to locate the button. I put mine in the upper console behind the rear view mirror.

The higher you mount the transmitter, the longer the range.
