I just stumbled on a link to these. Seems like an awesome idea and it only costs 80 bucks Anybody tried them? All you do is change the button in you garage to the one supplied, fix the transmitter behind your headlight spliced into the high beams, and hey presto, flash your lights twice at the door and it opens/closes. http://www.flash2pass.com.au/ Edited 01/12/08 02:32 AM by TURBOXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means no more remote batteries needed, no more searching under the seat for the remote, and no more remote being moved into the missus car and forgotten about until I get home from work in the pouring f*ckin rain.Im going to get one, Ill let you know how it goes.

Something along the lines of "Can I extend the aerial on my garage door so it will open while I'm further up the street so I don't have to pause for a millisecond and wait for the door to open...as it cuts in to my porn time"Can't recall who that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
