A panel-mounted garage door remote control is comprised of a housing with a front end removably fitted into a sleeve on a mounting bezel. Conventional remote control circuitry is arranged in the housing. A pair of control switches at the front of the housing are in engagement with buttons on the bezel, and an indicator lamp at the front of the housing is positioned through a hole on the bezel. The remote control is inserted into an existing accessory mounting hole in an interior panel of a car. The bezel is sized to fit flush with the surface of the hole to provide a neat appearance. The housing is interchangeable with other bezels sized to fit accessory mounting holes in different cars.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 12, 1998 and granted October 16, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended August 12, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 12, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
