Having another vehicle with the magical homelink system in it, having a gate and garage, and fumbling around in the S2000 for either remote were getting on my nerves. When you lock your remotes in the center console and have to turn the car off to get the gate open it becomes a little frustrating.
I purchased the angled Cadillac homelink module on Ebay for $50, far less than I could get the Accord module ($180+) from H and A.
The module has three connections. The center is unused. The connection closest to the inside is the negative and the outer connection is positive 12v.
I wired the unit to the always on fuse (to retain it's memory), through the A-pillar through the windshield frame garnish. In order to do this you need to remove the visors then using a flathead screwdriver push two spots on the light assembly to pop off the cover and use a phillips head to remove the two screws holding the windshield frame garnish to the frame. The A-pillar pops off easily as does the windshield frame garnish once the screws are removed.
I wired the cables out of the hole from the passenger visor and mounted the homelink to the frame garnish next to the lights, within easy reach for me. I tried other locations, such as down by my leg against the carpet next to the seat, but the range didn't work and it failed to open my gate.
It works and looks awesome!

Sounds like a good buy. It would be nice to see photos of the installed unit, if you have access to a digital camera. I always liked the Homelink features on other cars I've had, but unlike you, never had use for more than one button.
In case anyone else is going to do this, bear in mind the interior light (between the visors) has +12 volt power all the time, so that would save you from having to run wires down the pillars. Use the white/blue wire, which is fed from fuse 24.
Since I only have a garage door, I wired my garage door remote to one of the high beams under the hood, so I just "flash" to open the garage. Details on how to do this are in my web site (link in my sig) if anyone's interested.

I just bought (via eBay) some visors from a Chrysler Sebring that have the Homelink.
I just got them in the mail! I was going to try to mount it in the visor.
Where exactly did you mount yours? Do you have any pic's?
