Homelink Garage Door Opener

[camera doctor 25]

I want to integrate my garage door opener to my 530i, so I am looking for a Homelink UGDO panel.

I know the unit will not work in NZ due to our doors being different frequency than USA, but what I intend to do is modify the unit to operate my existing door remote, so really all I am after is the housing and switches, i do not need the circuitry to work, as I will be removing it !!

Does anyone have one of these by a longshot in a wrecked car ?? Johno, Brent, Ray ??

Thanks

I did exactly this with my merlin remote which is now inside the roof cavity and wired to the buttons of the ugdo,Got the ugdo from ebay,works great, I left the merlin battery powered and just rerouted the button and led to the ugdo so i could pull it out if the car gets sold or we move house

I did this but without adding the buttons on my E46. I used my existing garage remote control and wired it into the map light switch. Push the button once and door opens push it again and door closes.

Works a treat, Just solder shorted the micro switches to on and put a resistor and fuse inline to the power from the map light switch and bingo. All fits in behind where the interior and map lights are. No muss no fuss.

You can get these that work in NZ on the 433mhz.

I fitted one of these two or three years back. At the time of buying I was unaware of the different frequencies but but before fitting, I checked the frequency of our door. Was a fluke that it was the same frequency as the US spec UGDO - 3??? mhz - can't remember exactly. I THEN cut the hole to mount it.

Yep Greg - I would say it is a long shot - probably only mine & those above in the country.

Have you checked your door to confirm it is infact 433mhz?

I have found a 'faulty' unit in the States, so got it for 'reasonable' price.

I will just wire the switches to the circuit of my current remote. Luckily it is the later version that has illuminated switches too, so it will look factory :D

It is in transit now, will post once fitted.
