Cheese Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just took delivery of my 2013 Edge SEL AWD and was surprised to find it missing the Universal Garage Door Opener buttons on the visor. Did I miss this as an option when I ordered it or is it really only available in the Limited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Did I miss this as an option when I ordered it or is it really only available in the Limited? According to the website it's only available on the Limited. I don't understand it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgieguy Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 if its important you can always get one from a junkyard or new, and install it getting power from the plug that powers your vanity mirror light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy23 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am thinking about ordering a homelink mirror and retrofit it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naverino Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Thats what I did. Since the 2011 Edge Sport didnt come with it either. I didnt feel comfortable cutting open my visor to put in the homelink module, and the whole visor from Ford with homelink is too expesive, and finding a used one in good shape and correct color was tough. The mirror was much easier to do for me. $60 used from ebay (looks brand new) for the mirror w/harness, 1hr for install.

Cheese Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks for the help everyone but I think I'll just suffer with the clip on type. Sad that Ford expects me to upgrade to the Limited for such a common option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipr Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I found a factory OEM visor on Ebay for about $257, used discounted ebay gift cards to buy it, and it only took about 30 minutes to install. Wife did not want to take a chance with building our own homelink with used unit, and having an upholstery shop fix the visor. Works great, glad we did the upgrade! just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works great, glad we did the upgrade! just my 2 cents Having driven around for 3 years with a visor with a ragged seam showing I understand. The retrofit homelink worked great but I couldn't figure out how to get the cover off and back on without cutting it and I did not want to take it to an upholstery shop. I replaced the visor and went back to the clip on OEM opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Yang Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I happened to get lucky and found a 2011 homelink visor Ebay that came from a salvaged Limited. I did a buy it now for $90 (including shipping from Texas to CA). My garage door opener had to be replaced as the chain drive gears had become stripped. I had a new Chamberlain installed that has Security+ 2.0 (rolling code security) so I was a little worried that the homelink wouldn't be compatible. I'm happy to report that the visor from the 2011 Limited that I installed in my 2012 SEL is Security+ 2.0 compatible. On another note, as I was scouring the web for a homelink visors I did notice that there are a lot of auctions out there for vehicles that had suffered flood damage from Hurricane Sandy. So my best guess is that some of those may wind up being cut up for used parts so you may see some visors available on line after those cars are sold at auction.

ls973800 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Glad everything worked well for you. It sure is handy to have the buttons on the visor instead of one or two transmitters hanging there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Yang Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 It happened to be 3 separate remotes for me. 1 for my HOA, 1 for my house (liftmaster security+ 2.0 - not compatible with my older liftmaster remote from my HOA), and another one for my mom's house (genie).
