sunman Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I went to the dealer to ask the price of a new visor with homelink. He quoted me around 600. After I collected myself, I left and went to the internet. I searched Ebay. No one has a homelink visor for the ES. So next, I searched for just "homelink" bingo! I found a visor off a Jaguar 2001 model with the homelink buttons on it. I purchased it for 30 bucks. I got it today and ripped the visor apart and took out the homelink part. It is really slim and has just 2 wires on it. It can program 3 buttons. If you purchase one, make sure it is off a car later than 2000. Before 2000, most homelink transmitters did not have the rolling code technology found in most garage door openers. Well, After that, I gently took my visor apart without damaging the fabric. Removed the mirror first. I unwrapped the fabric on the left side where the transmitter was to be installed. I mounted it in the same location as the factory. I used a blade to cut the foam. Mounted it firmly in there so it won't move. It is very snug in there. soldiered the 2 wires onto the mirror wires. That's it. Works perfectly. Programmed 2 remotes and they work fine. I will take pics later to show. Looks totally stock. Can't tell that it was retrofitted later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

es3doubleO Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I got a driverside sun visor off a IS300 that had Homelink and swapped the connectors off my old one onto the new one and installed into my 92 ES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
