if you were to do the ghetto way, you just need a normally-open momentary switch and your PCB + battery from your garage door opener. the circuit with battery will remain on b-surface and you just wire your momentary switch to where the opener's original switch was and just push the button.
nothing really to it, actually.

I think the home link mirror is kind of expensive and the base model already has the spots for these switches. I did a little bit of research and it sounds like kenchan is right. If you have a remote that uses a 12V battery, it can be wired straight into a 12V acc line on the car for power. Then you just need to wire up a momentary switch and you're all set. The flash2pass system also sounds interesting because it would be convienient for my R6 too. If I do set this up I'll be sure to post a "how to".
