I have done this on my 2010 Fusion Hybrid and my 2013 Explorer XLT.
My newer Limited and Sport (2013) both had homelink.
I remember that I could not feel ANYTHING, but peeled back the fabric and the indentions where there.
Take it off the car, and get the fabric back.
It is ludicrous to make two visors.
The mold should have the cut out, just not snapped out/pressed out by a machine.
I don't see it would not be there, *if* the 2015 offers the option.
Remember, they don't make two visors, just a single visor that they press/cut out the fill in and then put in the unit. This was also the case with the Non-Homelink transmitter in 2011/2012 (some Fords had those, which were junk - didnt have the little house on the button area) the size of the thing was the same footprint as the Homelink form what I remember (had a 2012 Escape Limited).

This makes me sounds stupid, but can someone tell me the best way to separate the unit and bezel. I just don't wanna break it. Does the bezel just pop off, or separate the case and get the bezel off once the case is separate

Just finished installing a homelink transmitter in the visor 2005 Lariot screw. Could not be easier.

First I tested the transmitter by programming it following directions, it worked so on to step 2.

2. Removed two mounting screws and disconnected the electrical connector.

3. Removed the mirror. lightly pry from non hinged side using two jewelers screwdrivers and unit pops out.

4. reconnected power to determine which trace behind the mirror is positive and which is negative. ( the switched leg was negative).

5 removed cloth cover from visor using jewelers screw drivers. put larger screwdriver in seam which is on the non swiveled end of visor. Pulled fabric out of "crack" with smaller screwdriver. continued this until I could peel fabric around the space for transmitter.

6. cut using utility knife space for transmitter. checked fit and then fished power wires into mirror cavity. soldered wires to traces.

7. Returned to car and reattached power to test operation before final assembly.

8. Installed mirror back into visor, stretched fabric back and used credit card to push fabric into the crack. cut holes for buttons and installed button bezel, and reattached visor to truck. Test.

9. good to go.


pictures attached, I hope....

I installed mine couple weeks ago. Very nice feature to have, especially if you have multiple garage doors

Im debating on mounting mine either on the overhead console or just above the shifter on my floor console. Think I would have a noticeable difference in reception if mounted on my floor console? I have tested with the regular door opener down on the console and it seems to work just fine...

I thought you King Ranch boys had all the gizmos?

Haha! Damn you got me! My KR didn't come with homelink or a sunroof. I didn't want a sunroof because everyone Ive ever had leaked but homelink would have been nice. Guess it gives me an excuse to mod a little. I do have a DVD player in the ceiling though....

Anyone ever swap a unit from a salvage yard? Would these units plug n play?

That's how I obtained the homelink unit; I bought a visor with one in it; wrong color visor, but I simply removed the homelink and installed in my existing visor. I had to run a power wire (hot all the time), but that was easy. Some trucks may be pre-wired already.
