Found the perfect place for my gate remote

Very cool, I gotta try this with my garage door remote. Handy little space indeed I didn't even though existed!

 

Good idea - I put mine in there today too and it seems to work really well - it is not snug, but better than leave in the train in the tunnel console...

 

That's right by where my ScanGauge lives too.

 

This is cool! I did not exactly understand where the place is, will have to look in my car. I was struggling with the same problem. I bought Three Touring and the dealer promised to install a HomeLink, which I had with my Get 2. But failed due to incompatibility of the mirror because of all the sensors on the windshield. So eventually I bought a double scotch tape and glued it to the top of the cover (from inside) of the compartment, which is between two front seats. The one the opens to the side. It is convenient also. I can do it now without looking at it. Just press the button, open the lid with your right hand, and the remote is right there. Press it with your thumb. It does not touch the wallet or whatever I put on that small moving shelf.

 

I see now where you put it. What kind of remote is that? Where do you buy it? Can you program it?

 

Thank you. I already ordered Firefly 300 from Amazon. It should be compatible (according to A) with my Multi...3060. That is a nice place to put your remote, but I tried mine (3060), and it did not fit. Thanks for the tip!

 

The batteries in these keychain remotes last so little compared to the usual garage remotes + the batteries are odd sized batteries so if they run out you will be hunting the usual rite aids and CVSs at the odd hour of the night - that is if your car is not stuck behind the garage door/gate. The usual garage remotes last literally forever, the keychain remotes batteries last couple~several months. AT LEAST carry spare batteries around .... its more hassle than its worth the small size.... BTW, I bought the firefly 300 too.... and went back to the big square gray remotes...

 

Just leave the larger remote in the glove box or console.

 

Great finding! Implemented today. With one addition - put double side tape underneath to hold it firmly in place. In terms of the battery, I bought two for $5 on Amazon. If anyone interested, it is right beneath the product picture under 'pros' and 'cons'. It was handy since my current remote (3060) has, as it happened, the same battery! This also means that the new remote will probably live the same time as my current (lookin at the battery and electronics inside - identical). Actually among multiple reviews I only found one complaining of the battery live. Most were complaining that it is hard to find the battery, which is probably true if you don't have a spare one and need it at this moment.

And one more thing. If you program this 300 remote, and it does not work, like it happened to me, don't panic. Check if you removed a piece of paper dividing the battery contact. They probably mentioned it in a small instruction that they provide, but who reads them?!
