    Default Flash pass garage opener

    Anyone install a flash to pass garage door opener and have some tips? Looking to install on my 2015 RT SEA SS. I believe I need to locate the high beam wire for trigger.

    Thanks for any assistance and love this forum!

    I used industrial strength velcro and installed my regular opener under the pull out safety card.

    I had mine installed at the dealer but they wired it to the 'passing' light. Toggle down from the low beam. It's a great addition to my spyder, we have it on all the bikes and works great. Penny

    You don't need to wire it to the headlights. It is a whole lot easier to locate a 12vdc source then to a momentary weatherproof pushbutton switch. The other side of the switch goes to one of the flash to pass black wires and the other black on the flash to pass goes to ground.

    By doing it this way you are saving wear and tear on the shutter system in the headlight.

    I have these on all my bikes, they work great with better range than the remote that came with the opener.

    I removed it from the wing before getting the Spyder.

    Default I tied mine into the fog lights

    I tied my opener (AutoSwitch garage door remote Activator AS-7G) in my fog lights. One toggle on/off and the door opens. Once in awhile it gets temperamental and I have to do the switch on/off a couple of times. Works well for me and eliminates the headlight shutter issue.

    On my 2012, I just used an old remote wired to a momentary contact button - that works well and is less costly....lots of good options out there. Good luck!
    Happy and safe rydin'
