I put mine in the same place 3 years ago works great come down the street hit the button and the garage is open when you get there.

 

I thought garage door openers were one of the reasons they made windshield bags.

 

i keep mine in jacket pocket. that way it isn't on my bike. all i do is reach down and feel for the remote. i have no issues with the door and i dont have a remote suck on my bike. just my 2 cents.

 

I emailed Genie w/this and they couldn't tell me anything.

The remote opener I have is HUGE w/one button!!!

 

The opener I have for that relic won't even fit in my windshield bag!!!

Any thoughts?

 

Now that looks like some modern technology right there...

 

Ya gotta LOVE the joys of MODERN technology!!!!!

I just contacted Genie again. We'll see!!!

I went a bit further and rigged a momentary switch in the switch panel, mounted on one of the oval blanks. My garage-door opener is >20 YO and I had a very old and rather large opener transmitter I wasn't using, something that looked like it might have vacuum tubes in it. I pulled the thing apart and rigged two wires in place of the device's push-button switch, then wired it to the switch on the dash. It worked for about eight years on my old RK (different switch location), then was transferred to the '07 SG about five years ago. Every five years or so I must remove the remote and replace the 9V battery.

 

Thats a great idea IClick. Thank you. After more research, I found my opener is circa: early-mid sixties and STILL works!!! Fortunately I do have two single button remotes and will attempt what you describe.

Genie came back and said, "You should probably buy a new opener!" NOT!!! It still works and it's SO old no one can probably even steal the codes for it as they don't operate on the same mHZ anymore!

Thanks for the idea.
