Does anyone know if these things will work in Australia?

Thinking about getting one but can't find any info about making it work with Australian Garage Doors...

Any help would be much appreciated...

If it works I'd be keen, mainly for built in garage remote feature. There doesn't seem to be much info on this though.

Yeah... That's the only reason I want it... Unfortunately it looks like Homelink doesn't work with Aussie Garage Doors... Works in EU and USA but no info on compatible doors for Oz.

What parts of the EU/US door controller would you need? Anything can be made to work given enough resources :P

I was recently looking into this as well and came to similar conclusion. Not enough information and it all just became too hard.
In the end I went with Flash2Pass
Simple to install and a double flash of the high beam opens/closes the garage door. Bought it off a store on eBay from one of their distributors.
