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>

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.

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.

Yeah, another homelink. Use all three buttons too.

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?

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