homelink?

does honda have an auto dimming rear view mirror with homelink in it? I'd
just love to not have 2 garage door openers clipped to my visor.

 

Call Mazda and ask about the ones for the Mazda 6.

will that fit into an accord (the wire adaptor?) I was looking to get a
honda one so I can just get it installed when I get my car this week. (it's
also a lease, so I don't wanna put in aftermarket stuff unless A) honda
doesn't have what I want, or B) its a LOT less money. it would also be nice
to not have to install it)

The '06 EX doesn't have Homelink already? My '01 EX has it built in, but
not as part of the mirror.

I don't believe it does... no where I've seen anyway, can someone prove me
wrong? haha

 

My '03 EX has Homelink in the overhead console. Three buttons you can
program.

form what I see on hondas site, homelink onyl comes with the EX v6 model...
thats pretty BS in my opinion. why do they take out all this stuff in the 4
cyl models? (homelink and VSA) I'm getting an EX-L with navi, I figure just
because I want a more echonomical engine I shouldn't get less stuff with it
as well...

 

Appears you're right. According to
http://automobiles.honda.com/models/specifications_descriptions.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan&Category=EX# ,
you need the 6-cylinder to have Homelink included.

 

Appears you're right. According to

yeah, thats pretty BS to me... I dont' understand why honda low balls the 4
cyl models, even the loaded one (no VSA, no brake assist, no homelink) I'm
suprised 4 cyl's even have airbags, lol. "safety for everyone" yeah right, I
think that quote was cut short from orignally being "safety for everyone who
wants a V6 engine"

 

Well, keep in mind that there may be technical reasons for the lack of VSA
and brake assist on the 4-cylinder models. That does nothing to explain the
lack of Homelink, but is a possibility.

ehh.. I don't buy that, VW has traction control on their 4 cyl models, so
does hyundai and Toyota. I think if they can do it, honda could as well. I
would mind if I lived in a temperate climate, but living in new england, it
would of been nice.

 

I never said it was an impossibility, just that there may be a technical
issue. Maybe the way the Honda designed their I-4 could be problematic with
Honda VSA and brake boost. Could be purely marketing. I wasn't making a
definitive statement, just pointing out there may be some issue we're not
aware of.

ok sorry, didn't eman to sound hostile, as it wasn't my intention. someone
said on anotehr news group "if they put it in the I4's in 06, what woudl
they do in 07?" so it very well could be marketing... still doesn't change
the fact that it sucks, haha for whatever the reason is.

 

I just ordered an 06 Accord EX-L and it did not come with home link.
My wife has it in her Ody and it would be nice to have.

Anyone add it in after? What's the cost? Are there power wires in
that area so that I could add one myself - possibly an after market?

how do you like the car? someone responded to my question in the Temple of
VTEC forum and said www.collegehillshonda.com carries this part. I checked
and they do, it's teh exact same on in the V6 models (apparently those DO
come with homelink) and it looks like a pretty easy install. and it's less
than 200 bucks.

 

In the 98-02 models, it was simply a matter of replacing the overhead
light console in my EX 4 cylinder with the overhead console from an EX 6
cylinder. The old one unscrewed--two screws--and unplugged, and the new
one plugged right in. No extra wires, nothing. There's no magic to it.

Don't know how the 03 and up models do it.

 

i didnt like having my garage and gate remote sitting out and/or
accessible, so i made my own "homelink".

took the covers off the 2 remotes, soldered 2-strand doorbell wire to
the pushbutton contacts on the board. put both in ziplocks, duct taped
together and tucked away under the hood. ran that line through a small
gap in the firewall

switches are only accessible when ashtray is open. theyre side by side
on the "roof" of the ashtray.

 

(top posting corrected)

Yeah, the Honda part will be expensive.

That's why you check Ebay for a better price. Or a junkyard. I got my
$200 Homelink part for, let me think now....$20 plus shipping.

haha, very inventive. I think I'm skipping this right now unless I can find
one cheap, 200 bucks seems steep for a garage door opener, lol. if I can
find a wrecked V6 or find one on ebay I'll probably do it. form the install
instructions I've seen it seems pretty simple. thanks
