Default AWESOME..new mod

THIS FORUM IS AWESOME

I decided to do the homelink sun visor mod, and this form and all your posts were excellent.

Just wanted to thank everyone for making this forum the best out of all the others…hahaha…



Thanks,
Mike

Do you have any info on what homelink will work with (other than garage door openers). Looking for a 12v capable receiver.

Nice work. I did the same thing and used some Duplicolor interior plastic/vinyl paint to paint my beige transmitter faceplace black. It was really easy and came out perfect. You can buy the stuff at any autoparts store.

I thought about that, but since i have a tan interior, the tan homelink matchs really well and seem like a factory option.
