Anyone ever attempted to install the homlink transmitter into their sunvisor. I have the lighted ones and I can fell the area where they would put the transmitter. I would imagine the wiring is already there since they are lighted but I am weary about cutting that material.

 

I bought a visor from a Lincoln on Ebay for $20. I took the visor apart and did this:

I like that location the best or you could always buy the Homelink mirror. It's kind of expensive but it's damn nice. I got my dealer to install mine on purchase for free but I think they're about $350!

 

That was my second option, thanks for the reply. Am I correct that all that module requires to operate is a ground and power?

 

I though about it but one of the options they installed at the factory was the reverse camera and that screen is in the rear view mirror.

 

Yep. I wired mine to the interior light power source. The hard part was actually getting the "button" piece to fit. The plastic on the console is way too thick to allow the outer home link button face to reach the clasps on the inner module. You'll need to take a dremel to shave some of the material off on the inner side of the console. Not hard, but a bit meticulous.

All in all, it took me about two hours from start to finish.

 

were did you guys get the home link module?

 

Ebay. Do a search on homelink and you'll get several car makes...

 

X2. Mounted mine just ahead of the sunroof, looks and works like factory. I was going to put it in the sunvisor but looked like way to much work if you could get it sewn back up.

 

any homelink will work for your truck obviously
if you want to go the visor route, you can do it with some care

if you carefully pull the fabric away, a little bit at a time, you can remove it from the tucked edge. there are "sharks teeth" holding the fabric in
once the fabric is loose form the front of the visor, you can cut away the plastic. you will see reliefs to cut away. teh homelink is loaded from teh back side during production, so you can possibly fish in one end and use a small screw or something to secure it

if you remove the vanity, popping it loose from the bottom with a small screw driver. you can get to the wires.

to retuck the fabric, use a pizza cutter or dull thin screw driver to tuck the fabric back in.


I know this because I designed homelink visors at the supplier who makes them . I lead product development in the overhead zone for them now.

good luck
we want to see a documetary on the project

I went looking on eBay for a auto-dimming mirror and the homelink...I struck out on homelink, but for about $30 I got me a nice auto-dimming and compass rear mirror.

now to just get it and install in the Mustang. thanks for the mod idea guys.

 

so for this all that is needed is a location to install and to run the ground and positive wires??

Sounds simple!

 

Thanks for the info, Would the wire harness be there producing a plug and play deal or would I still need to splice into the vanity power.

 

Any pictures of this, I to have the sunroof and do not have the overhead console to mount to.
