The homelink I got off ebay for $35 or so. ITs hard to get just the module so just find a grey set of visors with homelink module. They are all the same and the grey from the nissan pathfinder mine came off matches very good. Its not to bad to get it in there. Took me a total of an hour or so. You just remove the visor. Gently pull out the fabric on the side the homelink goes(I used a screwdriver to pry the visor open and then gently pulled the fabric out). There is already a spot for the module in the visor, you can feel it if you push on it. Just use the dremel to cut out the hole, run some wires over to the lights and then push the fabric back in. Then just a few holes for the module faceplate in the fabric, snap them in and your good to go.

so there is not any wiring to run?

All you have to do is snake two wires from the module through a hole in order to get ground and power from the built in lights,very simple. ITs much easier if you take the mirror and lights out when doing this. That just snaps in and out so its no big deal.

For the console yes you remove the dome light. The navigtor console has two lights built in which actually do a better job. The plug for the lightning dome light plugged right into the navigator console for the lights.

The homelink module is off ebay. Just search for homelink and look for some grey sunvisors. Here is a link to an example of one you could use. The module and everything is the same on all vehicles that have it in the visor. Just get the visor, remove the homelink unit, and put it into yours. Its not to hard as the lightning visor already has a space for it, you can feel it if you push on your visor. I should have took some pics while I was doing it.

Nope, all the wiring the module needs is power and ground which you can get inside the visor from the lights.
