I would be willing to get this started by compiling links (from the existing FAQ and what isn't on it that should be) and laying them out in the wiki with whatever structure we come up with. Then we could start converting them to the official format. I can even do a few of the conversions.
So, we need to come up with a structure, a layout and an initial list of items to include.

Another "bright" idea
I wired up something similar on my previous truck but I wired it via a relay to the high beams. One quick flash of the high beams and the garage door opens or closes. Even more stealth! 
I've yet to transfer over the set up to my Cruiser though. This setup uses the truck's power to run the transmitter. This also means I won't rundown a remote battery whenever I use my high beams. And since I can flash highbeams without the key in, I can open my door without starting the truck. The whole setup is mounted behind the grille near a headlight - better range than just the standard remote I find.
So far none of my neighbours have inquired as to why I always flash my brights on or near my driveway. They think I'm nuts anyway...

Its actually a GREAT idea. I don't think I can do it without the HOA getting really pissed at me.
