How to install a hidden garage door opener

I installed a momentary switch (S1) that I flip whenever I want to open or close the garage door of my house. The actual remote for the door has been dissasembled and installed in the coin tray.

Whenever I get home just hit the switch and the door opens. This is a momentary switch from an old Mercedes-Benz.

The trick is to run a thin wire (jumper) across the actual switch in the door opener and connect it to the external switch.

By doing this the garage door opener is hidden.
