I installed the same thing (flash to open) in my 986, and it never worked worth a gosh darn.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Greetings! I hope to do the garage door hack referenced on a recent thread. In the youtube comments a person noted that this hack can be hard wired to avoid having to change battery on the opener remote. I know I saw reference here to an unused phone harness somewhere that can be tapped for power, but I cant seem to find it. Does anyone recall this, and perhaps know where it is/how to access? Of lesser importance, anyone try this hack hard wired to an at home module? Thanks in advance, MajicB

POST 2Original post

It's under the front of the center console. Remove the carpeted side pieces and you should be able to find it.

POST 3Original post

It’s behind the front console below the hvac controls area. Looks like this

POST 5Original post

Years ago I put one of these in my car. At the time they had a model specifically for cars but now they seem to focus on motorcycle. I think they will work on any 12v system. Easy to install, no special power supply or button, you just flash you headlights twice. Works great. https://flashtoopen.com/collections/...SAAEgIl3fD_BwE

POST 6Original post

I installed the same thing (flash to open) in my 986, and it never worked worth a gosh darn. Finally removed it and tossed it. If I was inclined to try again, I'd buy a HomeLink visor out of some junked vehicle and graft it onto the 996's visor...

POST 7Original post

Brown = ground yellow = phone mute the others are switched and unswitched +12V search EBay for a Homelink. If you have chamberlain or Liftmaster, get 2012 or newer HomeLink.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Excellent, thanks all. Flash to open looks interesting, but I like the idea of a Porsche lighted switch in one of the blanks (and actually ordered one). I think I saw Homelinks on Ebay for less than 20 but have to make sure they are correct one. i have a Liftmaster circa 2006.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
