Does anyone know if the 997 sun visor which houses the homelink buttons is the same as the 996 visor and are all homelink curcuits housed in the visor? If so it would be an easy way of adding homelink to the 996.

 

are the 996 and 997 visors shaped the same?

 

No.

 

The 997 doesn't have the homelink in the sunvisors.

997 has it in the upper center console

Gert, can a buy a homelink 996 sunvisor from you? I could not find it on your site...

 

The 996 didn't have the homelink option.
There are no Porsche sun visors with an intergrated homelink.
The 997 has the buttons in the roof console and the remote transmittor behind the front bumper.

We plan to offer a homelink retrofit for the 993/996 any day soon.

 

I could never get the Homelink thing to work in my audi. Stupid options...

 

Gert,

Please keep us up on the 996 Homelink release. I'm in if it's an easy install.

Regards

 

Gert, can you build it into the batwing between the seat heater switches?

 

Regardless of where it goes, I hope a group buy could be set up as I would be very interested.

 

Homelink is a great feature, I don't know why I thought it was in the 997 visor. JonA4, I've had 3 Audi's with Homelink and it works very well with regular and rolling code systems. I would also be interested in a 996 retrofit.

 

Sign me up too!

 

I hate using a separate unit. I almost pursued the Garage Door Hack but never got around to it. I would be interested in a Homelink option.

 

Here's a pic of my Homelink. Bought the "key" switches from local P-dealer. I press the keys for 2 links, bottom of left switch for 3rd.
Since this pic I have installed the ashtray delete option.

 

Here is some Boxstir info.
