look at the visors in Mercedes or BMW's, even Volvo, Chrysler and lets not forget Lexus. these cars also have the garage door opener in the sun visors like the 97+ sc's. i was at the junk yard today and bought the visor for 5 dollars. just showed him the visor not the home link. i will be putting it in soon, if it fits in the visor then that's where it will go. keep an eye out you guys. here is my find.

is it just basically power and ground?

Cleanshots · 01-20-09, 07:57 AM

^^ yea all you have to do is give it power and ground. i alredy pluged it into a 12v source and programmed my garaged door to it. holding it next to my visor it looks line it will fit perfect.

i say basically look in every high end-ish luxury cars for the home link system. if its in the sun visor just rip the frekin visor off. lol.

Cool find Pirooz. I'll have to come check it out sometime this week.

Cleanshots · 01-20-09, 01:24 PM

i cleaned it up and i will attempt to mount in my Visor. i need to figure out how i will reuse the fabric. hope i dont have to get it done but worth it! Cannot wait because this works soooo well!

Awsome find! Makes me want to go to the junk yard. havent been there for a month or two now.

Cleanshots · 01-21-09, 01:48 AM

OH man! I love this thing.Just finished putting it together and the results are amazing! I started a cut along the top part of the visor then slowly pull it apart and the seam will open. find where you like it mounted, there isn't alot of space so where i mounted it was just enough. Place the transmitter box on the visor foam and trace it with something. make sure it not backwards, double check it, you don't want to have to buy a new visor. then just cut and fit the transmitter inside the visor foam. Then i sewed it up with a needle and transparent plastic thread. if done right it would look almost factory.

GOOD LUCK, any questions or comments please ask.

how did u get power to it?

Cleanshots · 01-21-09, 02:05 AM

^ the power is spliced to the wire inside that goes to the light for the mirror. It's a constant 12V

Better watch out, other members are going to be asking you to knit them up some mittens and socks and little scull caps for their babies.

^ Thank you Dave! Crochet visor covers optional.
