It drives me nuts to have garage door openers in my vehicles. I searched on ebay and a homelink visor was not available, and the a new one was a couple hundred dollars.
I purchased a transmitter for $9 (with $5 shipping) so total cost is $14
Since my H3 does not have lighted mirrors, it makes this significantly more difficult than the other installs that I have done.
Since the H3 had homelink as one of the options, the visor has the cutouts already for the module. As far as I know all of the visor mounted units will interchange. I have put a Chrysler in my wife's Edge and I do not know what this one is from that I put into the H3.
First, I started to remove the material off of the visor. Using flathead screwdriver and a right angle pick you can pull it off. If you have lighted visors you will need to remove a lot less.
I pulled all of it off, as I had the run a wire through the visor. (I forgot to take pictures of this) I drilled a couple of holes where the end of the metal rod ended, so I could get to the end, and used this to fish wire into the visor cavity.
This is not a full step by step, but showing that it is possible. Step 1 color compare the used. I was happy with the color match.
Cutting out of the cavity for the unit. (note, red/black wire was added by me)
prepare module by removing the buttons (small screwdriver underneath to release the clips)
positioned into place (I had to cut off the 4 little ears in the corners, it still required a screwdriver to put into place.
Recovered material, with a credit card. Pick a point and go around the visor carefully.
Finished look. I added some metripack 150 connectors and wired it to a switched power source so the garage door buttons do not work when the key is off for security purposes.
