Adding homelink mirror

[Markb]

Has anyone added a rear view mirror with the homelink? I have the base 3.8 coupe and I want to add the homelink mirror. My dealer told me that the "computer" would not handle it. I say BS. Has anyone swapped out mirrors? I added homelink to my wife's car, but it was just the unit that I bought on Ebay. I would like to make this one a bit more professional. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you explain what homelink is?

Homelink is a built in system that you can program to open garage doors, gates, turn on lights, etc. They control up to 3 different devices.

does it use cell? wifi?

what ever a garage door remote uses...

Seems cheaper and less complicated to get a garage door opener.

The issue you are likely going to have is whether or not your car has the wiring for the homelink mirror for power. The other issue is whether or not the Hyundai mirror with the Homelink controls stores the signals in the mirror or if the signals are stored in the main computer memory. If the signals are stored in the mirror itself (likely I would think), it should just be a matter of mounting the mirror. If any oaf the above is not the case, you are probably out of luck in using the factory mirror. I think Hyundai should just make the Homelink mirror standard. Oh, one more issue, I am not sure if the standard non-homelink mirror has the compass built in. That could be another issue. Let us know what you find out.
