    buy a push button switch wire across the remote button connection and mount switch on the bike , do not wire across the high beam switch unless you place a relay in it ,due to 12v on the high beam switch, contact me if you wish at GDR garage doors,098325893

    Two different remotes .. one I had in my top jacket pocket .. just pushed it and the door opened.

    The new one is attached to my keyring .. and I just press it and it works too.

    Couldn't wire it into the highbeam on the sv, due to the way they're wired together inside the switchgear, that would've made it on with the high beam... not so good for the transmitter.

    if anybodys interested in this idea best place ive found is jaycar electronics. on khyber ass road in newmarket...they have other branches too.

    $50-$60 for a 4 button remote, but it will not work with never garage doors as they are rolling code, they will not work if it's rolling code. so don't even bother if thats what you have.

    normal cause of short range of remotes is baby monitors [phillips type] 40mhz ,merlin 230t or the 430r operate on this range these machines are 6 to 10 years old, upgade machine to 433mhz but it cost, rolling code system.

    About 100m from my house, I just push the little garage door opener button located on my right-hand switch block, and the door's nearly open when I get to it.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    i have trained the children to run and push the button when they hear dad coming home. The wifes been known to do it as well although the training was a bit harder to achieve.

    Snap (ish) - the missus generally hears me coming and opens the door for me. I don't think I'll let my 2 year old play with the remote fob yet.

    If she's not in then I just hit the button on the fob, which is on the same key ring as my bike keys, and therefore in the ignition.

    You've got it easy! I have to do a 53 point turn, get off the bike, find my keys, unlock the front door of the house, go in and turn off the alarm, return and unlock the garage, and wheel the bike in backwards. Barefoot. In the snow. Uphill both ways.

    Mine's controlled by the throttle.
    Giver her a few big blips and the garage door opens.

    Because the wife's heard me and lets me in.

    I come up the drive and hit the horn. Wife and young son look out window and wave.

    I hit horn again and point to the garage.

    They wave again.

    I honk longer - point voilently to the door in a repeating action.

    They smile and laugh at me.

    I get off bike, go to door front door - its locked.

    Go back to bike, turn off keys, take keys out, return to house and enter garage via front door.

    Open garage, return to bike, start, ride up hill, park.

    Go upstairs ask why they didnt hit the button.

    They laugh and tell me its because its raining.

    Repeat each rainy day until wife and kids tire or watching you sitting in the rain.

    hang on are you saying baby monitors affect if or are you saying they are designed to only work short distance...theres alot of metal tubing etc in the garage also...if i extended the wire for it aeriel say 7-8 metres, is it going to be useless and loose the signal over such a long piece of wire?

    cheers: mark
