any way to use the integrated phone wiring?

a garage door opener into the phone system? Can a home alarm system remote control also be hooked to it? Tell us more!

It is as simple as using soldering the switch of the remote to the system. The question is... do you want to lose your display for OBC... you know... time, MPG, etc... by your speedometer? If no, then forget it.

If yes, then you have to determine if your remote control can handle 14V... most remote these days are 3V... sometime 9V... you will need some sort of a voltage reducer to make it work... without frying your remote control to crisp.

Where do you solder the switch to the system? Is the harness in the trunk? Why would I loose the OBC display? I looked at the owners manual this morning and it said the phone displayed to the instrument panel readout. If I did wire a remote to the phone system, would it only momentarily loose the OBC display, like when I push the stalk in to open the door? Sounds like I've found a weekend project since Hurricane Charlie might send some tropical fluids my way!

the phone is switched from the wiper stalk not the turn signal stalk, so you should still be able to scroll through the obc
