Digging up an old thread as I followed this lil DIY last week. The forum just keeps on giving 
. After pulling my rollbar padding I had no place to hide my garage door remote, and since I'm topless most the time that was one thing I was getting paranoid about letting sit out. Bought a couple $1 buttons on eBay and did this mod. Worked like a charm. I mounted mine in the a-pillar thinking that if I ever did want to pull the buttons out, that would be the cheapest/smallest piece of plastic to replace. The remote itself is tucked just inside the dashboard side cover for easy access.

In my configuration, parking outside would leave that security risk. I was mainly worried about someone taking my remote while out and about, figuring out where I live from my plate number, and helping themselves to my things when nobody was home. That said, if it was a concern, I think the real solution would be to tap the power to a key'd fuse so that it wouldn't work unless the key was turned to the accessory position. I just didn't care to get that in depth with the install given my particular living situation.

Fair answer. Makes sense. While I have lots of stuff in my garage, and my garage is attached to the house, I have no access from garage to house. Connected but no door to inside house.
I might try this. Thanks.

On my to-do list.
You could probably get away with just using a 7809 voltage regulator 12V goes in pin 1, pin 2 is common ground and 3 is your 9V output. Good luck!
