    I've been working on modeling a overhead 2 switch panel for my truck because I wanted to have a garage opened that wasn't clipped onto the visor and I finally finished the project, I got it modeled, printed, and installed so I wanted to share some of that here with y'all too!

    I did the same thing for my garage opener except I used a blank spot to the left of the steering wheel. I love how clean the install is, just gonna be a pain if I ever need to replace the battery.

    The panel just pops off and the battery slides out of the unit so it's pretty simple to swap out if needed I also plan on replacing the small remote with a larger unit because when I was buying the remote I didn't release how much room was above the headboard.

    Wouldn't it be easier to buy the Home Link mirror?
