Golf mk7: Integrated Remote Garage Door opener/closer

[DV52]

Hi @DV52, I just came across this guide and think I've got the gist of most of it. Could I double check with you that the new connectors that we're inserting into the wiring looms for connectors #9 and #10 are going to be connected to the garage remote switch (connected to the terminals where the original garage button sits). Thus, when we hit that new tire button, connectors #9 and #10 will close the circuit and trigger the garage opener to activate? Cheers

@I CU2: Hi: I wrote this thread many years ago - so I had to re-check what I actually did!!



The reason why I selected the Tire-set button is because it's the only switch on the switch-bank that's entirely separated from the rest of the car's wiring loom (see the picture above - notice that pins #9 & #10 are not connected to anything inside the switch-bank).

So, the 2 x contacts on the Tire-set button are free to be used to mimic the 2 x contacts on the OPEN/CLOSE switch on the garage door fob.

As I suggest on post 1 of this thread, after you remove the "white insert" - simply connect pins #9 and #10 on the switch-bank to 2 x wires and then solder the other ends of these wires to suitable points on the 2 x OPEN/CLOSE switch contacts on the door fob.

Thanks Don! I've just ordered the switch and the repair wires. If I've got automatic parking, then I assume switching over the white insert isn't necessary and I can just use the new button as is?

Did you notice if the fonts or images differed from the original or was it a 1:1 replica? Cheers

Yes

hmm.... I'm not sure how discerning I am at distinguishing fonts/images - but my new switch looked the same (I think)!

Hi @DV52,

I'm trying to do this mod this morning but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I've connected the two pins from my remote to slots #9 and #10 but when I press the tire pressure button - nothing happens?

I've troubleshooted and when I connect the pins directly together, the remote triggers. I've also checked the connection by plugging the pins directly to the switch to see if it was a contact/connection problem (outside of the car), and when I press the button it still doesn't trigger... any suggestions on why it won't work for me?

Edit: NVM - I worked out I was using the wrong pin slots hehe. It works great, thanks for the guide @DV52!
