Okay,

Who here has transplanted a newer visor in an earlier SC? Manaray? What did it cost and how easy was it to do?

damn! i need to go buy myself one of these newer SC's...they have nicer everything!

Ryan

Come on guys - someone had to have done it. I assume it runs off of the power already in place for the mirrors. This should be plug and play - but it would be nice to hear from someone who has done it.

I would like to do this too.
When I get me manuals, I'll take them to the lexus dealership and see their newer manuals to see what it would take.

you have my support too. I would do it in a heartbeat....

Since my vanity light stays on all the time, and I had to take the fuse out, I too, would be interested in the conversion.

Manaray

It is a near drop in conversion...the power can be had from the light's power...cost is NOT cheap though...I think it was like $500+ for that part.

can't this part be put in out of other lexus cars like the ES or LS?

Manaray

It's possible but I think the shape might not be right...please try it and let us know...

i've done it. the home link parts are very expensive so i used a opener that i bought from brookstone or sharper image. it is a keychain so it is about half the size of the homelink. I painted it khaki color to match the rest of the interior. Then i removed the back of it and attached it to the sunvisor. It works great, looks just as good, if not better than, the homelink, and can control 2 doors. I will post pictures of it when i get a new digital camera.

ryan,
please post your pics. I think that idea is great. I may do that myself. My opener is a big one and i keep it in the center console since its so big. You can imagine that the center console is not the best place either.....

Pics would be awesome, I keep mine in the driver map pocket on the door... easy to push, just throw my hand down there and search for it, and press the button. If you have a big one, see if you can get a smaller one from ebay or something... good investment, plus you might need the smaller one to install like Ryan did.

the entire thing cost less than $50. it is an excellent alternative to buying the homelink parts which will cost you a couple hundred bucks easily. And it looks just as good. I will post picks and soon as i get another digital camera (broke my last one).

is the remote you speak of any smaller than this one?
