I have seen that console before. How come you did not get the matt finish switch to match all the other switches. Same part number except the A02 for gloss is A05 for matt. Jeff

I didn't notice it was a glossy finish until you and someone else mentioned it. Now I have to go and order a Matte finish one.

Crap!

OK, as an update for the Garage door mod. It IS possible to have two openers on one switch. Sharky and I tried this the other day and it works like a charm. Click one way for the front gate and then click the other way for the garage door.

You need to combine the Negative wires from both openers and connect it to the center spade on the switch. Then connect each positive wire one to the inner left spade and the other positive to the inner right spade. The teo outer spade are for lighting the switch up.

Simple Targe Roof Switch can control two remotes when wired properly.

Very impressive! Will I be able to do that with my Boxster? I do not have a garage opener wired to my car right now. Using a mini remote control. Seen your posted pics.

Yes, it will work in a boxster. I think the targa switch should fit? If not i'm sure there is a boxster switch out there you can use. Mini remotes can be used, but it's more difficult to solder the wire since the area is smaller.

It really does work a treat. It's nice to just have it all in one switch for those of you that need "two" functions etc...

Kirby thanks ever so much again:P

PS I spent some time with Mark Rein yesterday showing me the new Engine. OMFG.

Here's my slightly different install of my garage door opener on my 996 - but wish I had seen the Targa switch beforehand... :-(
