Its simple if you have some basic electronics knowlege, unfortunately I didn't take photos at the time. You connect +12v and ground and wire in one of the homelink switches instead of the button on your remote. Exactly how depends on your remote. Of course your remote MUST use a 12v battery to power it - but most do these days.

I think I understand what you're saying Seedar. (Lucky I'm studying electrical enginnering atm
). But I don't think it'll work out for me, since you mentioned that I must use a 12V battery. Unfortunately, my garage remote may be a bit old...that uses a 9V battery and I have opened up my remote, and studied the design a bit. And I realised that the remote may have to be one of those, that uses 2 or 3 small buttons(forgot how to say it, sorry) where mine only have on big one. And it's triggered by a gate(metal clip ones, ones seem on simple circuits). I guess it's a bit of bad luck for me there.
Anyways, thanx for helping out so much Seedar! If I can't get it working, I guess I'll have to sell if off on eBay later when I have time for it. Thank you!
