• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Bike mounted Garage door opener

Is there a bike mounted Garage door opener available for the Spyder RT. The one that I had installed on my Harley was connected to the high/low beam headlight switch. Changing tge position of the switch would initiate the garage door opener to raise or lower the door.

I look forward to your responses.
 
I velcroed mine to under the dash, just behind the pull down safety card. Works great just tap the button and go. Do not even notice it there.
 
try this one; if you've got dip switches this should work.

I purchased a keychain size remote and velcroed it to the inside wall of my glove box. I just open the lid and press the button as I'm approaching my house. I don't even have to remove the device from the velcro. Much cheaper than the ones you install on the bike. I still have plenty of room in the glove box for odds and ends.

The only problem that I see with having to open up the glovebox:
:lecturef_smilie: Make dang sure that you don't have to turn your bars! :shocked:

Of course I do close the lid prior to turning into my driveway, but ..............

FYI, turning the handlebars closes the glovebox lid :lecturef_smilie:

:shocked: Not if your hand is still in there! :yikes:

The remote transmits and activates the opener from a great distance. By the time I turn into the driveway, the door is halfway open. Not much chance of my hand still being in there.

:agree: Velcro mine to the glove box wall in the front works well..I am usually driving straight when pressing the button to open the garage door and never had a problem..:thumbup:
