Actually, my 2007 had the alarm....there was room in the '07, but with the addition of the Passenger Air Bag lamp, I think you may be right. But it's a great way to go if you don't have the security package!

Having done this once before in my 2007 Mustang, I did it again in this one. I went on Ebay, bought a roaming Homelink unit for $15.00 and custom mounted it in the roof console. Just drill the holes, and hardwired it to the map lamp power wire.

It is not centered in my 2011 as it was in my 2007 because of the new airbag lamp. But it works perfectly, and it was very inexpensive!
I love this idea as it's WAY cheaper than coughing up 3 bills for a visor, but looking at the units on ebay, I don't see how you fit that in your dome light box. There is a fairly large box that is part of the roaming unit that would have to fit in the dome light box. How did you make a hole big enough for it to fit without it showing? Don't suppose you have a how-to?

I already posted a thread of my Homelink garage door opener install where i hid the unit inside the maplight housing and installed a momentary pushbutton in between the maplights. This solves the problem of stuffing the unit behind the airbag light and also the problem of not being able to install the homelink three buttons flush due to the thickness of the plastic maplight housing.

You can mount the homelink unit hidden anywhere in the Mustang and it will work with a remotely mounted momentary pushbutton.

Just check out my post in the original thread for details.

I have an alternate location you can attach your visor mount garage door opener. Pull the maplight housing off, slip the clip of the garage door opener rearward onto the headliner and reinstall the maplight housing. The garage door opener stays snug on the headliner right in front of the maplight housing.

I might have to try that. Sounds like a great idea.

Putting the clip on the headliner is the way I'll do it. Not gonna bother with a homeland install right now.

I probably wouldn't have bothered with the Homelink install either had I figured out the simpler trick sooner.
