A small writeup.
Buy Hormann BiSecur HSZ 1 BS cigarette lighter transmitter.
It comes with quality build-in lithium 3v battery, which will last many years
Turn head of transmitter and it will open. If it won't just help a bit with a thin flat screwdriver.
On a small circuit there's a pushbutton.
Take sharp knife and pry it off. No even need to desolder.
You will see two rectangular poles which the pushbutton connects together when pressed.
Take your soldering iron and just solder two wires to those poles.
Now if you want to open/close/stop door you need to connect those wires together.
Case goes back on
Wires are fixed with a cable tie
The whole thing is wrapped with 3M insulation tape and then with Certoplast.
Final product is placed behind fuse panel in driver footrest. There's plenty of space there and good access when I'll need to change battery in 15 years.
Other end of wires are connected to pushbutton on dashboard. Works beautifully.
P.S. If you don't know what soldering iron is I'd suggest to purchase Hormann recessed radio transmitter called 'FUS 2' which has screwdriver terminals.
It is designed for in-house installation to control garage doors from your home with a domestic light switch. It can run from a 9v battery and can control two doors.

Just connect button on your dash with FUS 2 terminals and you're done. FUS 2 is bigger than cigarette lighter transmitter and perhaps wasn't tested for car use by Hormann, but I'm sure it won't be a problem. Just find a place to hide it under the dash.
