I have the aluminum Retrax PowerTrax Pro XR bed cover installed on my 19 Denali and love it.... however, I hate their remote. It always finds a way to open itself when the keys are in my pocket.... 

 

I've gotten used to leaving the key fob in the truck and not on my keychain at all.... and I am thinking I want to hard wire it to a 2 way momentary switch inside the cab.

 

After calling Retrax, Ive decided that Im on my own on this effort as they quickly pointed out that I would void my warranty if I did it and said that Im wiling to take that risk. Scary asses didnt even want to tell me anything about the interworkings.... guess they are scared to be sued.

 

Shouldnt be too difficult... but was wondering if anyone had any experience doing what I am wanting.

 

p.s.... this initially started with the remote getting shorted out after rafting.... and I inquired if they had a waterproof remote... which they said they didnt.... and then I asked what frequencies was used with my cover. They said they didn't know the freq and use the serial number to order a new remote from China. LOL... then I started getting more and more frustratred with the cover opening with the remote in my pocket.

Sorry I can't help,  Im in the market for that bed cover except the non powered version.  Do you get any leaks when it is raining?? Thanks.

Yes it leaks. Not bad though. Just where it butts up against the tailgate.

No. Havent toyed with it yet. I do a lot of 12v work and I'm sure it's easy enough. Just wanted to ask to see if anyone had done it before.
