Hello All

New to the site and did some looking around. Im not too sure what I would need or what it would be called. I want to push a momentary button that will in turn raise my remote from under my dash. Push same button and lower remote. Would i need some type of actuator or motor on a timed relay or what. I really dont even know where to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks agian

you would need some form of linear actuator, in other words a motor that pushes a pole in and out, then im not sure cause ive never worked with them (yet) but i assume they have some form of control board which either comes with them or you buy extra and it would have an in and out switch and a cut off for when it has reached its maximum length or minimum. the issue you will then have is to fabricate the rest what the remote sits on where it slides in and out ect, from memory there is one done like that already on this site ill try find it
