Lol what? Typical salesman. Sunlinefan did it and has a write up here http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/36-a...stalled-homelink-module-overhead-console.html . Not sure if you have HomeLink but it might come in handy.
Take the whole module with you. It may just snap off... Then find a 12V battery connect it quickly and press button.Son's 2010 Nitro came equipped with a built in universal garage door opener, he could program his garage door receiver to receive that code. But on his other cars, still needs that visor clip on transmitter.
Man, I am an idiot, when I dropped off my Cruze for that power rack replacement and got a loaner, drove home forgetting to take my transmitter, so I couldn't even get in my own home! I had to drive back to pull off that remote. But what would I do if it was built into that car?
Just something to think about. What may sound good for one instance, may not be so good for another instance.
Not so easy. I had to destroy the sunvisor of the van I got mine out of. The wires go way in there too.Take the whole module with you. It may just snap off... Then find a 12V battery connect it quickly and press button.
Or just get a transmitter.
Press and hold the outer two buttons at the same time. The light will be on solid and then after like 10 seconds, flash rapidly. Let go when it flashes rapidly.Ha, and don't forget to reprogram your receiver when you get rid of that then old vehicle. Why can't I ever remember how to do that without trying to remember where I left the instruction book? Something about holding two buttons down while pressing a third ten times in less than two seconds.
Yeah, I just saw last weekend how small the overhead is on a non-sunroof car. Would be tight for sure.
But yes, the box does all the magic. As long as you can connect the rubber buttons to it and give it a 12v power source, it's good to go.
Nothing says you have to mount it overhead either, it's just where I'm used to it. You could mount it on the dash, door panel, anywhere with a close, constant 12v source.
