Had the same problem with my 2013. Found that I had the wrong operators manual, when I searched the web and found 3 different manuals for the 2013. Downloaded another manual, different instructions, followed them and garage door works like a charm

^ Same here, Oct. '12 delivery and garage door opener setup worked the first time! I was really surprised, the instructions sounded like a real PITA, but I followed them exactly...
I think I had to get up on a ladder and do something at the opener too, whatever the instructions said, and I was happy it worked first time as I was by myself, and what with the push-button in the car, it could have been a lot of up and down nuisance.

I think there's more to it than the visor. Pretty sure it's part of the Homelink package that includes the mirror... and not inexpensive.

Vendors offer the homelink mirror?

^ Seems like a lot of work to get something that (probably) won't work any better than the opener remote you already have. And is potentially less "secure" because you can't take it out of the car (but who does?). OTOH, it *is* nice to have, and I particularly wanted it. Just because.

This way, only one small black push switch to activate the homelink to open the garage door.

I did this install with an easier twist. Rather that install the entire homelink bezel onto the overhead console, I installed a small push button switch (one hole drilled in the console), and used this switch to operate the ground to the homelight module. I stuffed the homelight module into the roof liner above the roof center console, wired the switch to the ground wire of the homelink module, and the red (or power lead) of the homelink was connected to the power lead of the lights in the console.
This way, only one small black push switch to activate the homelink to open the garage door.

I like these creative solutions - good suggestion! Sounds like this will be a winter project for me.

The Homelink install in the posted link is great except that it won't work with convertibles or cars with the security system option. Convertibles have the top switch taking up space and the motion sensor of the security system is also in the dome lamp assembly.
There is good news and bad news about installing a factory visor mounted Homelink system. The good news is that the only part you need is the Homelink visor - all the electronics are contained in it and it only requires power and ground. Using power and ground from the wiring in the headliner near the dome lamp is easy and also resolves the security issue because it won't work once the retained accessory power is off (i.e. ignition off and door opened). The bad news is that Ford charges a lot for the visor - I paid almost $200 for mine. If ordering, be aware that the coupe and convertible use different visors.

The only problem I have with mine is that for some reason on the Mustang the button I programmed for the left door opens and closes both doors instead of just the left one. The button I programmed for the right door only opens and closes that door.
On my wife's Lincoln the left button operates only the left door and the right button operates only the right door, as programmed.
