Homelink
 

Those of us with garage door openers wish we had something better than that clunky thing on the visor. Plus..those things trash visors.

Here's my weekly contribution to the art of modding
Picked up a few homelinks and decided which would fit best. It required more modding of the map light holder (part in headliner that holds it.) than anything else. This one came out of a 98 Park Ave.

The posts that secure it needed to be added.

A hole for the buttons to stick through, the light to shine through when the button is pushed and a little buildup of material on the outer edge of the light to make it look right.

It's in, works great with my doors and looks pretty darn close to factory option.

Any thoughts?

Looks great, also I like it awhole lot in my car. No need for the garage door opener just program it and use the buttons in the car.

i think i may need to do something like this ....

but i already put switches there :(

i have to say that very impressive :shock:

thanks for the comments..it was odd..the parts I thought would be easy..were hard.. and the hard stuff..went easy.

Things go alot easier when it's not 7 in the morinig when ya do them also ;)

Looks sweet. Good job 8)

WOW! That looks very professional. I was convinced it was stock. Surprised me.

That's pretty cool Bill, you'll like using it. My 2000 has it oem and I love it! Beats the thing dangling on the keychain all the time. You might get a few orders for that set up!

Homelink is great! I've got to buy a transmitter for my condo U/G parking, then return it once the Aurora learns the signal.

Looks factory in your car Bill..well done.

wow, I know it's been said many times but that really does look completely stock. Great job. :)

not a bad install considering you learned all your knowledge from randman ;)

just get a freaking 00 already :lol:

All? eeek...he showed me how to smooth one thing and then the paint process. He's the master of mods..I'll say that..yes I learned from him... but I've gone further on some stuff. ;)

Nice Job Bill!!! You and your gadgets :roll: lol

No..I won't be adding LED's to my corners, etched or wheel well LED's. I'm lettting you guys do that stuff. I didn't run any wires really...that was a nice thing..it was all already in in the map light area.

Looks amazing....like a factory option! I never thought it would fit in there.

Now, where's mine?

Nice Job Bill. The Homelink is one of the options I like best in my 04 Bonneville. I have both of my garage doors programmed in plus my parents garage door.

Bill, you're a frickin genius. Job well done, have yourself afew beeers, bro!

Careful,don't want to swell his head any bigger than it is ;)

BOOM.... splatters of brain fly everywhere....




Now who's going to clean up this mess?

Thanks for the compliments guys.. That is one of the many things that I felt was missing from the pre 00 cars. B'villes are a high end car.. why no heated leather seats and why no Homelink? Some things don't add up.

I vote for the Alien to clean it up... it will take me too long to get there... Nice job as always on your ideas...

BTW, F*rds usually have their homelinks in the visors. Might be an alternative for those of you who don't have room elsewhere. I happen to know they are readily available in junkyards. Couldn't be too hard to install them, unless the voltage supply is different.
