My 2011 did not come with this option. I checked around all over the web and with several Ford dealers and the cheapest I could have got the Visor with the Home Link installed was around $300.00. Well I just couldn't live with removing my absolutely perfect stock visor and replacing it just to have it sit in my garage and be stored away.
So I searched a few forums and looked at threads where folks have done this them selfs and it looked stock. I ordered a Home Link unit from ebay for $28.00 and spent 2 hours yesterday doing the mod, it is now programmed to do both of my garage doors and looks just as good as the visor in my 2012 Lincoln Navigator that came with it installed.
I was concerned about tearing the fabric or anything else that could have gone wrong and decided that if I did mess it up I would pay the $300.00 and order one. The absolute hardest part of this Mod for me was programming the home link. My wife's Navigator comes with Car u 2 installed in the visor and you simply program it directly to the opener. The Home Link however has to first be programmed to the Transmitter (Remote Opener) then to the unit
For any of you considering doing this it is not that hard to do and if you take your time and are careful it will come out looking identical to the Ford OEM Visor
I could not be happier!
