Default homelink remote transmitter

i really want to buy a homelink remote transmitter (garage door opener) which is only offered as part of the convenience package. i don't want convenience package because i hate the sunroof and the auto dimming mirror, so can i just get the homelink transmitter separately from parts department? is installation real easy - just tap into the power wires near the interior lights?


please advise. i don't want to spend $1,200 for the entire convenience package to get this transmitter.

I suspect it is just a matter of replacing the driver's sunvisor with the one that has the homelink device in it. If the driver's visor already has a lighted mirror (?) then you are already set. Else, you will probably have to change the visor clip in the middle for the "live" one, and connect it with the other side in the ceiling

But this is 90% speculation, so YMMV!

Default Re: Fun w/ HomeLink

I got this "wild hare" last nite to pocket my one of my friends' TV remote the next time I'm over his house, and then temporarily "excuse myself" to the bathroom or something. But instead, I sync his TV remote to the HomeLink in my S4.

Then, a couple of nites later, I park outside his house and jone on him until he thinks his house is haunted or something. Funny.

Default Don't think this would work, openers use radio waves, tv remotes use infrared..

Just get one of those programmable universal remotes and mess with him that way
