well go bored today on my day off so i installed a homelink garage door opener in the s2000

i had an extra visor from my old lexus IS300 so i took out the homelink from that and installed it into the center console arm rest. very happy with the way it turned out i was worried my arm would hit it while driving but its out of the way!

dont know if this has been done before but thought i would share. didnt have my camera with me at the time but if anyone want pics on how to do it i can rip it out agai to take some pics

Looks awesome!

 

Dude.. That awesome.. show some DIY..

I'm getting annoying to open up the compartment then take out the remote.

Please show where how to get that??

Lexus?? how much?? or should I go get from ACURA isntead. hahah

 

thanks ill try and get some pics up later tonight as far as the DIY.

and i dont know about the size of the other homelinks so i would say this might only work with the leuxs IS300 style homelink. as its a tight fit under that arm rest.

Great post. I'm all for you ripping it out again and taking pics for the install. This looks like a great fix to an annoying issue of having to open the compartment to grap the remote every time I come home.

 

ok so i found time today to take a couple quick pics of the bottom side so you can see how i mounted it.


had to cut out the plastic so that the homelink would sit flush with the plastic under the material. not really that hard with the lexus home link i just traced it onto the plastic and cut it out with a dremel. then the lexus home link has a little ledge that sat right on top of the plastic arm rest peice once you cut out the hole. then i hot glued it in to make sure it didnt move.

then i cut the padding out that layed on top of the home link so it wouldnt pucker the material. then i adhesive sprayed the material back on like it was stock.

then to cut out your holes with a razor blade.


the i painted the buttons and surround with that "ricer" vinyl dash paint

then click it in. then do you wiring ground and a power

 

does it work well being that it is mounted so low?
