DIY Stealth Garage Door Opener Button - Toyota Yaris Forums

Shinare · 10-08-2010, 03:42 PM

Just did this using the same radio shack black momentary switch in the same location. I wanted to hard wire it into a switched 12v source but I could not find the required electronic components to step the 12v down to 3.3v at my local Radio Shack, namely the LM317 Adjustable Linear Voltage Regulator and the 100 and 150 ohm resistors as indicated would be necessary in the High-beam motorcycle thread. They Had an LM317T regulator but did not know if that was the same, but still not the right resistors anyway. So I just wired it up to the little battery from the remote. I guess when it goes dead I can replace it but really didnt want the button to work unless the ignition was on. Works tho and I'm happy. First real mod to my yaris. :) (Since I didn't do the tint but had someone else do it, heh.)
