Satisfied my CDO About the Blank Switch With Garage Door Opener

[ThreeWheels]

OK, as the title suggests, I finally solved my CDO about the blank switch on the console of my 2020 RTL.
CDO, that's OCD with the letters in the right order.
I bought a Mo-Door garage door opener, and paired it with an OEM switch that I installed.
Mo-Door doesn't have the OEM switch for the 2020 units yet, so I bought the windshield switch from Can Am.
I blacked out the icon of the windshield and wired the light in parallel to the existing windshield switch.
I mounted the Mo-Door unit under the seat instead of buried in the body work so that, when, in the fullness of time, I can change the battery easily.

Let me cut off some of the expected comments.

Yes, I know you could save money and just buy a small garage door opener and use that, but you'd still have the blank switch on the console.
Yes, I know you could solder wires to a standard opener, but I don't trust my soldering skills to not ruin the job.
Yes, I could have used a different switch and saved money, but the OEM switch has lights, and melds into the console, both physically and aesthetically, resolving my CDO.

The Mo-door unit is about $70. The OEM switch was $50.

On my 2013 STL. I soldered up an opener and used a Carling style switch that matched the switches that were there. But it was a different color led back light. I don't know how often I looked at that and wanted to take it apart and see if I could change the color.

That's good work !! I think I mentioned, I didn't trust my soldering skills enough to be able to wire up a standard opener without ruining it.
The Mo-Door is waterproof and rugged enough so I could mount it under the seat and not worry about it.
By putting it under the seat instead of buried in the bodywork, I've got easy access to it if I ever need to change the battery.

I used that blank cover to mount the powerlet socket and then mounted the Mo-door pad switch above the heated seat switch. I put the control unit in the right speaker box. The speaker cover is super easy to remove. pull it from the inside edge and it comes off.
