Finished my 2 switch garage door opener and IPOD hookup
Did a couple of Sunday projects:
1st was I put 2 switches in the center console and wired them to each garage door. Also lit the switches by wiring them to the window switches. I think it looks pretty cool and works great (see pictures
2nd was to hook up the IPOD connection. I did not like the CD player behind the face plate. I did not have the CD changer so this plugs into the same connectors. Works great too and now I saved the money as I will not buy a new stereo. This does the trick for me as I think it sounds not too bad.
I was thinking about getting the ash tray delete in black and putting it in my savanna beige console. I don't think black will look too bad but not sure. I have also seen some in carbon fiber but not sure how that would look with beige.

I got the buttons from suncoast. I cant take credit for the mod as I learned it on the forum (although I haven't seen 2 buttons for 2 garage doors).
Here is the link to the buttons - choose the targa top/garage door switch:

Here are some IPOD pics....
The IPOD connector is the blue plug - I think it took less than an 1/2 hour to install.

Where did you splice into the garage door opener?
I soldered the wires to the contact points for the opener. If you use a paper clip and touch the points on the underside od the button on the remote you can tell wich points activate the opener. You then solder to these points.
Do you need a special tool tompull the stereo?
Yes - you need special keys that insert into the stereo with the faceplate taken off. It pulls out in seconds with this tool. The IPOD cable came with the keys.
