I was in home depot the other day and I saw they had these mini remotes for genie garage door openers.......So the wheels started turning very slowly and a lot of creeking but I came up with this idea. I mounted it to the visor clip with 3m automotive tape. You can see the clip is still functional I put my mustang brochure under it to show in the picture.

 

I used the same remote and took the stainless clip from a janitor style retractible key ring. I used 3m double sided tape to attach it and clipped it to the visor. It works fine , but if the 2012 homelink visor is plug and play I think I will still put it in. No functional difference but I think the visor is just cleaner.

 

If it is plug and play I will do the same, good call.

 

Or you could buy a cheap Homelink Transmitter on eBay and mount it here like other folks including myself have done ..

 

Won't work in a convertible. I've also heard it won't fit with the security package.

 

Yup ... your are correct ... I have neither so it wasn't an issue ...

 

crap i have the security package.... have to wait for the 2012's and see how its done.

 

Son of a ...... That looks good! F#*k now I have to go on eBay and spend more money. How did you mount it?

 

If you look at the pictures on eBay you will see they are two pieces. Back plate with the electronics and the front cover with the buttons. They snap together.

Cut hole in your light housing and you can snap the homelink in.

Then wire it to the hot side of the lights so it always has power.

 

Nice job !! That looks factory installed.

 

Great job on the install Dan. Unfortunately from what I'm seeing , it won't work with the security system because of the sensors in the light housing.
