Thanks.
Once properly programmed, is there much of a delay between when the homelink button on the mirror is pushed, and when the garage door actually opens? If so, how long? I have heard some complaints about a delay of up to several seconds.

I hold the button down for about 2 seconds and the garage door opens.

I have to hold the button for 2 seconds also. No longer than I had to hold the original garage door opener.

My original garage door opener does not have a two second delay. The door starts moving fairly close to instantaneously after I press it -- way under a second anyway.

I always push and hold the button (even before the home link) on the transmitter as soon as my house is in sight. This way the door is open when I get home. The delay doesn't bother me at all, after all it is only 2 seconds.

How old is the opener? Rolling code? Maybe longer??
Anyway what's the point?

Several folks mentioned that there is a 2 second delay with the homelink transmitter. I stated I have very little delay at all with my plain vanilla OEM opener (non rolling code, FYI).
It's a mundane matter, but this is a discussion forum. So we're commenting and discussing, n00b. If there's no "point" for you, then obviously you're on the wrong thread, grasshopper.

I'm here to help. I think you missed the point of it. Just looking for a logical explanation.
It was the thought process that the rolling code may take longer. My grey sears rolling code box works just as fast as the mirror.
Offhand I'd say the fcc made the rolling code remotes not emit a constant source. Thus the slower response time. Aka the Homelink blinking light signal for the rolling code remotes verses the solid light displayed for non rolling code remotes. The Canadian remote programming may even require you to press the remote more often to program any Homelink device.

Toyota wants to sell packages...  ..Still bottom line... even Toyota and Southeastern Toyota haven't made a compass mirror kit for the 4Runner since 06, and that was only a compass auto dim mirror. So this thread is a valid work around for the owners that want the accessory. The same accessory being installed in other Toyota's too!!!

Really! Interesting ... I had a 2004 Highlander prior to purchasing my 2009 T4R -- the Highlander had some of the higher end accessories -- 8 way seat, JBL stereo, etc., but it was NOT a top of the line Limited. And ... it did have an OEM auto dim compass mirror.
I don't like having a vehicle without a compass, and I prefer the compass mirrors, as I have found that the aftermarket auto compasses are clunky, and are crap. So I'm changing out the plain jane rear view mirror in my runner.

Thanks for the instructions. Installed mine on Saturday. Took about 30-45 minutes. Everything works great.
