garage door system
Basically the 2011 didn't have the option but the 12 does. Think its possible for dealer to install it on my 2011. Sounds minor but sometimes I don't always have the remotes with me and then get stuck waiting for a car to open the gate at 1am on a weekday.

You can but it won't be plug and play. I ended up getting this:
Nice thing about it is that I always have it. Even if I go for a walk or bike ride.

Here's a different option that wires right into your existing high beam wiring. I installed one in my GT and it works great, with a very simple install... you just click your highbeam switch twice and it activates the garage door.

Your existing 2011 mirror has the auto tint feature (dims the headlights of rear vehicles), doesn't it? If so, you have a power and ground lead that plugs into the back of the rear view mirror. This is all you will need to install a HomeLink mirror. I gotta believe that the 2012 mirror snaps onto the windshield mount like the 2011's, and then just cut/splice the different connector into the 2012 mirror.
Or buy a HomeLink mirror off of Ebay. Cheaper, and they come with the wiring connector. An easy, 10 minute splice, that even a Chevy owner could do!

I found one on our Ford Accessories Site that is compatible with your vehicle. I hope this helps.

Sometimes I'm thinking it's not a good idea to have the visor garage opener simply because if a thief breaks in they can search for your registration papers and find your home and open the garage, with the trunk release button he can open the trunk to get to registration papers there if you hid it

This is the way I solved that problem. (it was a pretty simple install)

Hmmm, I swear that the wiring was in the headliner, but not terminated with the connectors needed to swap the visors effortlessly. There were several threads here on how to do it, just have to search (I'll try to post later).

You may be right. I don't trust my memory anymore.
