Homelink visor EASY swap.

I called the retailer and they told me the part # has changed as well. However, it is now known as DC. He said it was a part # changed but that it was the Ebony one with Homelink. I just can't find any diagrams online that would confirm that.

I picked up a Gentex 435 Homelink rearview mirror from an Infiniti off eBay for $45 with the wiring pigtail. I tapped the power and ground wires from the factory mirror(look up radar detector mirror tap here on the forum) and I also tapped the yellow wire in the overhead console for constant 12v. I used posi-tap connectors for the power and ground wires http://www.amazon.com/Posi-tap-Connector-20-22-Gauge-Wire/dp/B00389UT3I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1447036599&sr=8-10&keywords=posi+tap I just shoved the factory connector with spliced wires in the headliner, you can barely see a small bump in the headliner but it's not very noticeable. I picked up a plastic wire cover made for the 435 from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005J5JT94?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00 I trimmed about a little over an inch off both pieces so it would fit in the headliner. It's a straight forward install, takes about 20-30 minutes. Feel free to PM me if you need a better description or more pictures.

Well done....thanks for the info!

Sorry to revive this old thread but has anyone bought one recently? The ones I am finding on searching are $300+

Visor went up..I paid 100 bucks for mine over a year ago.

Price went up quite a bit.

Yea, it appears so. And its not worth it, to me at least, for 300+. I'll just keep using my regular opener.

Thanks guys.

Just keep looking. I got 1 on ebay with a broken mirror for under $50. Even with swapping my stock mirror it was a 10 minute install.

Does anyone know if the S550 has unique sun visors, or if they're interchangable with any other Ford vehicles? That may open up more options when searching for a homelink sun visor. I know I want one.

When I checked it out it appeared to be a unique part number, unfortunately.

I was going to buy the above but I decided to have the Homelink fabricated in the visor. There is a guy on eBay (MrMobility) that does this. You purchase a take-off unit (about $25) and send this and your visor to him. He will do it for about $130 if you include the Homelink unit.

I'm pretty technical savvy, but I want clarify how the sun visor is pulled out, before I try it. I pulled the little black tab off, and see a metal clip that the tab fits into. I squeeze that together and pull it down with a fair amount of force and it the whole sunvisor comes down?

I bought this sunvisor off ebay, and noticed that the plastic housing that holds the sunvisor stem looks broken. I want to see if it's interchangable with my current sun visor or if that piece is not something that can be replaced.

^your correct it shouldn't take he man force once the tabs are compressed it's should disconnect.

Tried squeezing the tabs in and pulling down, seems like it needs a lot of force. Should I pull straight down, or at an angle? Looking at pictures of visors that are out, it kind of looks like there's a hook up there?

down it pulls down
