Where do you keep your garage door opener?
 
Mine won't fit onto the thick plastic sun shades.

I currently have it stashed in the sunglasses compartment. This is far from conventient since the button is hard to access without taking the entire thing out.

I have too many CDs in the center console to keep it in there.

I often have 2 bottles of water in the cup holders, so that space is out.

<sigh>

What do you do with your garage door opener?

Homelink rearview mirror. :)
Cdn cars are equipped with programmable garage door opener!

I have a GT with the HomeLink on the rear view mirror also. Love it.

I currently have my opener in the sunglass holder as well, but the button is easily accessable when I open it.

I only did this because my garage door has an anti-theft feature that makes it difficult (impossible?) for a theif to steal your code when you open the door with your remote. I have to disable this feature, and then I have something like 10-20 seconds to program my homelink mirror before my garage door opener reverts back to "safe" mode.

I haven't gotten around to finding the door manual and actually performing this task, but I wanted to give you a heads up in case you have the homelink mirror.

Homelink.

Only time it sucks is when I drive the spare car and forget to bring a remote with me. ;)

I use the first two buttons for the Garage doors at home and the third for the gate to the parking lot at work instead of punching in a code at the key pad every time, very nice to have.

8is>enuff, when you do program your homelink, use the RX8 owners manual, not the quick guide. I remember trying to do this unsuccessfully from the quick guide. The quick guide is missing a step, the owners manual has what you need.

Yeah, another homelink. Use all three buttons too.

I just tried to have a garage door installed and they told me I don't have enough clearance in my garage. I guess I need 4" and I only have 2". Anyone know how to overcome this?

Rob Tomlin 08-11-2004 06:17 PM

And for those of us who don't yet have an RX-8, (and are otherwise clueless) what is "Homelink"?

Phlash 08-11-2004 07:45 PM

My opener is about a year ahead of homelink so I have to use the opener. I stash the opener in the cup warmer......

Homelink is a programmable button(s) located on the bottom of the rearview
mirror frame that lets you set up the button to open your garage door, security gate(s) etc...

Got ya!

That's very cool actually. Is this an "option", or is it standard?

What do you do with your garage door opener?

I had from a prior car a cd holder that wraps around the sun visor. I found that this holds my garage remote very well when you have the metal clip pinch the thin cd holder as opposed to the hard plastic sun visor.

Before this technique dawned on me I too was struggling as to where to put the opener. Hope this works for you.
