    Nice job man! its funny cause the lack of homelink was one of the first things i noticed when i was looking at the car. I had done this upgrade on a previous vehicle and was thinkin about doing it too on my cruze as well. Nice article and some great workmanship there!

    I did make a little modification to the Homelink setup on Sunday. Or should I say my dad got involved since I said I was having programming problems (which turned out to have nothing to do with the installation, as I thought).

    First, we bent up a small piece of aluminum to make a bracket that now holds the Homelink unit down with two small screws. This eliminated the plastic tie, which seemed to push the center plastic piece down just a little bit. The bolt heads (countersink style, and small) were countersunk into the plastic so they didn't stick down at all.

    Secondly, the foam extensions weren't working. It was really tough to push the buttons enough to work. It now has hard plastic extensions (of the same size/design) that make the buttons much more sensitive.

    Going to/from work today, I was a happy camper. I didn't like the opener on the driver's visor, so I had it on the passenger. Now I have less of a reach!

    You can pick up an eye glass holder as a replacement for the drivers side pull handle.

    I got this one on ebay earlier in the year.

    Now would love to see a homelink set up with no moonroof panel.

    Looks good ... and I've been hoping to find a simple way to upgrade my 2012 Eco with homelink. I've also seen a thread here somewhere that if I recall, had a person use the roof console panel from a Buick Verano? Someone please pipe in if that's incorrect... but that's the route I'd like to take.
