check into flash2pass it piggy backs off your high beam headlight and all you do it switch your headlight to high beam twice and garage door opens if you live in a gated community it will work for the gate as well
I put a button switch on the dash (where one of the blank plugs are) and wired it to a small garage door opener. Two wires soldered onto the opener printed circuit board. I store the opener in the cubby on the right side of the fairing - that way I can change the battery when it is needed. Not too difficult if you can determine the location on the board to attach the wires. Looks like it's standard on the bike.
The Indian garage door switch is really nice and clean install for my 19 chieftain dh but at 159.00 wow! Indian makes sure to rape you on everything. And they want your business and want you to come back.
Just like harley, maybe worse.
For $35, I found a very thin, Genie compatible remote at Home Depot that fits just under the small storage bin at the top of the faring over the radio. I like the Indian deal with a hole and wire already there (for '17 and newer) but not for the price. It does seem to be out of the weather but in a more awkward position. Saved a bunch of money, have a remote that is weather resistant and in a weather resistant location. I attached it with double sided foam tape. Easy to remove when the battery is in need of replacement and small/thin enough to still have room in that small bin for other small items.
Yeah 159.00 very pricey for what this is.
I think i might flip a coin whether we buy Indian or not. Youre paying out the azz for convienence and this is why the price is loaded so high because its all about convienence.
My openers are not genie compatable stuff.
It DOES look standard! The reason I chose right side instead of left side is because I have a large cupholder on the left side and would've had trouble accessing the button with my obstructionist iced tea in the way. I had tried one of the flat, illuminated buttons, too, but it was visually too obvious that it "went to" something, and I had trouble depressing it far enough on the rare occasions I wore thick gloves. For the "how to" aspect of the installation, I just followed this clever guy's instructions, changing his recommendations as needed to suit my motorcycle application!
Congrats to us BOTH on having a convenient and professional-looking way to get into our garages!
I did the same thing. I drilled a hole in the metal visor clip and used one of the bolts on the saddlebag door hinge to mount it. Easy to stop, open the saddlebag and activate the door.
I installed a door opener by Mo-Door,it works great and easy to install, it doesn’t use the bikes electrical system, just a pancake battery, I have 3 of them an they work great, the company are very friendly and can suggest which one is good for you.
I had two methods on my 16 RM. One was the wife heard me coming and opened the door. Barring that I used Velcro on my left inside pod door and just pulled the door open and hit the buttons on the opener attached.
I used a Mo-Door on my 14 Vintage. I put it inside the nacelle and tapped into the momentary switch on the front brake lever housing. This switch was not used for anything on the 14 Vintage out of the factory so it was my best option for a totally clean install.
Mine is a Springfield, but I also hot wired a standard garage remote and attached it to an OEM switch that I had the dealer instal - where the heated grips switch would go on the console (but was unused for me). He said he had a few spare switches that had been taken off other bikes and did it for nothing!! I then ran the thin wiring down under the leather tank strap and placed the remote in a small plastic box in the space behind the left side cover. I did a full write up with photos for our home forum. If anyone wants a copy, I would be happy to post it.
That is actually a better placement than the stock location up under the fairing...I wish that Indian had thought to include a third switch location on the center console for a garage door opener.
I like the console idea but reserved that spot for my handgrip heaters. I’m glad Indian provided plugs on the fairing dash for button switches. My right dash button is garage door opener and my left dash button powers a fan mounted to my oil cooler.
I did much the same as ClassicalWhit but I got a remote from Home Dumpo that works with a small 12 volt battery. I opened it up, removed the battery and soldered on a couple of wires that were then connected to a switched 12 volt circuit inside the fairing and the dash mounted button.
