Hi,

I just got a remote control to the garage at my job, and I'm considering to retrofit the remote controle feature, which is located under the interior mirror.

Does anyone know the price for this retrofit ??

My Ride: 525i, Orient Blue, bought used with 22000 miles. Grey lether, sport package, BMW Assist, Cold Weather package. Xenons. NOT premium for some reason, I do like the metal finish vs. the wood, but do miss the garage opener.

Peter,

I don't know the price, but if you're like me, you don't want the garage door opener hangin about in the dash area. I got some velcro and put mine under my right knee on the drivers seat. There is a wide space of plastic under the leather there. I just reach down and hit the button and it works great. Saved me the cost and hassle of a retrofit.

Look in the accessories forum, I think I saw some stuff in there when I was researching.
