Garage door opener MOD

Has anybody created or installed a type of built-in garage door opener modification for the third generation Tacoma?

Not sure how I would go about doing this. I think it would be handy as heck though...

I do not mean velcroing a remote opener to your dash

 

I literally bent the clip on my garage door opener remote and slipped it in over the headliner at the moonroof. Looks installed, cost nothing, took 30 seconds and my Leatherman.

I think you need the tech package for that mod, though.

Others have bought new or used Homelink-enabled mirrors from other Toyota models. Those are guaranteed to work. There's even a homelink mirror thread around here somewhere if you're interested.

Not 3rd gen specific, but don't know why it would need to be. All you need is a place to put the button.

If you don't have any blank switch places, you could even mount it on the bottom (or top) of the steering column clamshell.

Or there's another thread that just tells you exactly which rear view mirror to purchase that comes with a homelink...

 

Not built in your mirror?

I think that's a Pro and Limited feature.

 

My Canadian, 2016 TRD Sport has it. Might be part of the Tech Package (which I also have).

 

I used this one. Works great.

 

I bought the switch from Air On Board, and hard wired my garage door remote behind the dash, fortunately for me my remote was 12 volt.

 

Hmm, I have Premium/Tech in an OR and don't have it. Interesting.

 

New tech package. It wasn't available for the 2016s.

 

It's on my 2016. But I'm in Canada - perhaps we got that and you guys didn't.

 

Ah, that makes sense.

Well, it doesn't, but you know.

 

This is the one I use. I love it, but I did the single one from shapeways (the 3D printed insert) and it involved a little more work. Totally worth it.

 

I have it in my mirror but never use it since I don't have a garage opener...(I am the garage opener)
Is the transmitter located in the mirror unit or somewhere else?
I like the compass and the self dimming features but the mirror is too bulky with that thick frame around it to fit the 3 garage openers or whatever else can be used for.

 

Looks nice. I just set my remote on the shelf above that.
