Nope...do a search for Homelink visors. There is a company that sells the visors already set up for plug and play. I wasn't so lucky with my C5; I could only find black visors and I have Sand colored interior
Check out YouTube also; I bet you can find a video on the subject. You will love the convenience once it's installed.
I have Homelink on my two other cars, but not my Vette. I'm not sure it's worth the expense to add it since you can just clip your remote control to the visor and have basically the same thing ... unless you use Homelink to do other things (like lights inside your house, etc.). I really don't miss it in the Vette. I may not be familiar with all the Homelink functions though.
Its not that complicated, I went to a local junk yard and got a sunvisor with the homelink off a lincoln Navigator for 10.00, separated it remove the homelink and removed my sunvisor, separated it, put it in, and wired it to the mirror light and my niece sew it back together, reinstall it programed it to open both door and hall light, works purposely. There is video on YouTube with step by step instruction. Go for it 10.00 and no corvette tax.
Saw a post where someone put it to the drivers side of the center console, tucked up under it with the buttons on the carpet, looked good.
You can buy the module on Ebay for $20. I got one for my Harley.
I think it is great to have, for me at least as I have a Gate, and two garage doors. Having 3 remotes in the vette would be too much clutter.
I added my own version of Homelink to my '06 at almost no cost.
I took the circuit board out of one of the garage door remotes and wired the back of one of the switches to a switch button on the dash
Small pieces of tubing over the switches so they don't get pressed.
The curcuit board is under the "tombstone" so I can reach it to change the battery. I found that it can't be close to any metal parts. Somehow, that interferes with the transmitted signal.
