Another reason for loving this site!
I am very interested in the HomeLink system for my S2000. My wife's '01 Accord had HomeLink but we could'nt use the HomeLink and a standard garage door opener. So, she never used the HomeLink and instead used the standard remote.
Now, in the new Pilot, she has the HomeLink system again, but I still have to use the standard remote. Looks like this project is the next for me!
I bet that 90% (if not more) of all S2000's are garaged and perhaps 50% (if not more) are 2nd cars for folks. Does it not make sense to have the HomeLink system in the S2000? Must be a Japanese built/American/Canadian built issue.

Huh? does your garage have rolling codes? If it does, you have to press a button on the garage door opener(not the remote).
This is what I did for a garage door opener... It's been working great and it's got great distance. But it doesn't support rolling codes with out a mod to the garage door opener.

You should not put it on a switched source unless you plan to retrain the unit a lot. The unit should have constant power. I had wired it differently to a switched source and lost the codes all the time, meaning it never worked.
Map light section is the best to get power. It is close. There is a grounding screw/wire and a power wire. Make sure you use the grounding screw, not a wire to ground as it may not provide a positive ground unless the door is open.
