Homelink?

I actually followed the escape instructions. The only thing that was different was I wasn't able to pull the fabric off all the way. The plastic rod on the visor that snaps to the truck prevents you from pulling the fabric all the way back. Sorry if that doesn't make sense but you'll see what I mean. Anyway it made it difficult to cut a hole in the plastic visor. The lines are there but you have to cut away the filler material. After cutting away the filler material the black box will snap in. The box is quite hard to get in. I ended up breaking some of the tabs that hold it in place. I also cut the visor hole a little larger to help the box go in. All struggling aside the box fits tightly in the visor and everything looks factory. Good Luck!

Not sure what you mean by plastic visor extension. Or my truck doesn't have it. I went with tan because that's all I could find. It doesn't quite match as our headliners are in between tan and gray. The black would look cool. You can easily swap out the trim piece later or paint it as it just snaps on.
I didn't take any pics during the install and I'm out of town now so I can't take any pics of the finished product.

I installed one on my 2010 XLT. The first Homelink unit I bought off eBay was defective and the second had the wires cut so short that I had to replace them with longer ones. Holding the cloth visor covering back and trimming out the recess for the Homelink was the toughest part and getting the replacement wires to make solid contact with the terminals in the Homelink was the other tough part. One other bit of advice: plug in your visor and test the operation of the unit before you re-apply the fabric over the Homelink end of the visor. Guess how I know that?
