Default Mild to Wild install question

Hello, I just received my mild to wild but it did not contain instructions for installation. I think I found the basics on the forum to replace the fuse with the unit. What I could not find is how to program the homelink. Can anyone provide the instructions to program the homelink? I read somewhere that you need to use two buttons, one for off and one for on. I'm not sure how to do this. Let me know if you can help.

Thanks

Not in instructions, for 19 models use fuse #87.
Removed fuse must be inserted in side slot on M2W plug in piece.

I don't get it. I've already removed my # 42 (2017) sounds fine and is "Open" all the time.
What would the MtoW do for me?????

W2M allows you to essentially 'add and remove' that fuse from inside the car, so if you want it open all the time like you have it will be loud, but then can still put it in stealth via the remote (can also program the garage door buttons to operate it).

What Devnull said. For example, in the mornings for cold start in the garage, I use my homelink button to close the valve so I don't wake up the whole house leaving for work in the morning. Once down the road, I hit the other homelink button and open the pipes back up so I can hear the music sing.

Alternately, I normally cruise with pipes open but on the rare occasions that my bride rides shotgun and wants to "talk", I can hit the switch and put in stealth mode to ensure I am receiving every word of her discussion.

Allow you to close/quiet the exhaust for high speed trips

One trick I learned was to mount the controller inside the fuse box towards the right side. Plenty of room. Coiled the antenna wire around the perimeter of the fuse box, then made a very small cut in the fuse box cover where it fits the forward notch. Ran the ground wire in a small wire loom to the ground bolt and wire tied it. It all looks factory unless you open the top of the fuse box.
