Need Rocker Switch idea for upper center console garage opener...

URGENT - installer coming next week to finish up phone install and K40. I'd like to put my garage opener in the blank switch of the center dash. Got an extra PSE switch, but I have PSE so that seems redundant.

Best suggestions for which available rocker switch might make the most sense in there?

Thanks!

I used a Targa Roof Switch (996 613 119 10 A05) which you can purchase from any dealer...Check my links

I purchased one from www.sharkworks.com. Works perfect. It uses a rear defroster switch. I place it in the lower left central console.

Does anyone know...

...who else manufactures a garage door kit other than Sharkworks? I could not get theirs to work, although they were good about refunding my money quickly afterwards.

Regards

You can DIY it. I did Sharksters (Alex) for about $10 in parts, not including the switch.
