My car alarm system is a Viper 690XV (the central receiver is type 434) and I'd like to use the tramsmitter remote control to open / close my garage door (which came with its own remote controls).

Is there a possibility to make my Viper remote connect to the garage opener, maybe by using an accessory? As far as I know, the DEI 519H won't work for the Viper!?

Thx

a friend of mine acutally did that him self. he took apart his garage door opener, took some washers and taped them up so that when he reassembled the garage door opener the buttom is always pressed. now the tricky part. before reassembling the opener cut the negative wire on the battery (going to a 9v battery) wire in a relay to that when its energized it lets the power connect and the buttom is active. hook up your relay to a channel on the alarm your not using. thats the basics.. ill leave the rest up to you. good luck!!

Thanks "enihcamxes4you"!

The trick sounds good. But how can a relais be switched via the remote of the Viper 690XV? Which DEI parts are needed to do so?

Another idea would be to wire a relay to the contacts on the garage door opener so that it is always powered, but the button is shorted only when triggered by the alarm.

Why you are at it, throw in a 9vdc voltage regulator and forget about replacing the batteries ever again!
