I remember hearing something about an extension cord. Fully install the garage-door opener having a normal plug for a normal outlet (120vac 15-20 amp outlet), though you don't have the outlet. You just plug the plug into an extension cord leading your car's cigarette-lighter outlet adapter whenever you need it. Or you can buy one from any auto parts retailer).
