Homelink Rear View Mirror

[sharp33]

Has anyone out there installed a HomeLink® Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror 50-GENK40 in their GT? The auto-dimming probably isn't necessary since a little more pressure on the go pedal usually works well. The Homelink would allow a GT owner to control up to 3 devices such as a garage door or gate without hanging remotes from the sun visor. The wiring is already present for the map lights so it looks like a simple plug in assuming they make a mirror or adapter for the GT. Does anyone know the name of the mounting bracket glued to the GT windshield?

I also hate the idea of a garage door opener on the visor...... so I just put the garage door opener in the mesh pocket in the front of the drivers seat :biggrin

Ditto what Mad said.

I just call my wife 2 minutes before I get home so she can hit the switch. :biggrin

You can also hang it (with the normal spring clip) right under the steering wheel where it goes in to the dash - the bezel has enough of a gap that the clip fits - and it is out of sight. No interference problem with mine opening the garage door.

Let us know how the light works. If I remember correctly the only interior lights in a GT is the 2 bulbs on the mirror. The Homelink mirrors seems to have 3 leds in the center. This will be much darker.

Choice many will have about mirrors:

1. keep the stock one.
2. Homelink
3. LCD monitor mirror combination

That's where I keep mine also, along with my cell phone. But a Homelink built in garage door opener would be an improvement and control one more door or device. :cheers
