I asked my local dealer about retrofitting onto a non ACC S3. I was almost immediately rebuked with "almost impossible."
Is this in fact a PIO? Seems like they could do it if so...

Wait so you're saying they are doing a mid year update 2 months before they switch to the 2016 model year? I'm not sure I believe this.
I could see it on all 2016 cars however, and would be interested in a retrofit assuming it's not crazy expensive.

I got a very small black one, it's on my visor, barely visible. I was gonna go all integrated and such… this one was so small that I just programmed it and called it a day.

Checked Into This
Talked to my dealer about the Homelink. It IS now available for order on new A/S3's. I asked about a retrofit, and they told me "at least $1500". I didn't ask if that was just parts or included labor...

Saw the picture in the other thread. It's on the roof directly to the right of the drivers side visor, separate from the current roof/light controls. Retrofit would mean cutting into or removing the headliner. The owner said it was a $350 option pre-installed on his new S3, yikes...
I'll stick with my clipped on opener sitting in my drivers side door bin.

Old solution
Hi everyone
I am patiently waiting my white s3 to come, hopefully by May. My real concern is lack of homelink. In my building everyone programs the garage door to their car but if you don't have home link then you have to get out of the car and use the key. Does anyone know of a homelink mirror or older audi visor with homelink that will work?
