I've not seen it as a kit, but have heard that the prewiring is already there. You could call Todd at Toyota of Richardson to see if there is a part for it.
If not, there are also auto-dimming mirrors with HomeLink built in -- go to the Mito web site at http://www.mitocorp.com/homelink_mirrors.htm for more information.
The site made it look like it would be fairly easy to install the mirror.

According to the 2004 4Runner brochure, Homelink is optional on the SR5 and Sport, and standard on the Limited.
However, if your Toyota distributor doesn't order vehicles from Japan with this feature included, you won't be able to get it unless you special order a vehicle from Japan with the feature on it -- or have your dealer seach the country for a vehicle from another distributor that might have it.

I finally get my Homelink unit.
Today I went to my dealer and after searching the Toyota DATABASE I was able to find the Homelink unit for my 04' Sport
I was not able to located it before because I was looking for a module, and it is not that. The Homelink system comes with the upper console, so I ordered the unit, retail was $126.00 and I end up paying only $75.00 because the dealer had one in stock that was ordered by mistake. The installation was a snap. It took me less than 30 minutes to have it up and running.

Consider a Homelink autodim
When we were shopping for a '03 Sport Edition, I wanted both an autodimming mirror with compass display and Homelink. The dealer couldn't locate either for me, despite what it says in Toyota's brochures.
I solved both problems by purchasing a Gentex autodim mirror with compass display and Homelink built in. Cost me $210 shipped, which includes $15 to have the displays and LEDs changed from green to orange to match the instrument panels in the 4Runner. Hookup was a snap (same as putting in any autodim mirror for which there have been lots of threads posted on this forum).
Just another potential option you might want to consider. Let me know if you want the info on the seller on these units.

The name of the vendor is Bob Prim. His e-mail is [email protected]. I originally found him surfing through autodim mirrors auctions on eBay and e-mailing him if he sold the Homelink inputs. Everything was delivered as promised and in "as new" condition, though not in original manufacturer packaging.
Good luck! Let me know if you need any more info. By the way, the most helpful document I found for a really nice professional install is the Toyota instruction manual posted by Woody on this forum:

Don't hold me to this, but I think that as long as your garage door opener was made after 1982, it should work with Homelink. Looking at Homelink's webpage, it should be able to be programmed to work almost any RF-compliant device in the 288-418 MHz frequency range. The key to programming is having a handheld remote for your garage door opener to hold up to the unit.
In any case, I wouldn't be worried with a common brand like Genie.

Homelink
Toybox, I have been looking for such a unit desperately!. Where did you order yours?. How much it is costing?. Is it easy to install (ourself) or needs to be done by dealer?.
I too have sun/moon roof in my Sport V8.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks.

That part number is a Toyota part number so you can get it at the Toyota Parts Department. The list cost was like $126 but I told him (nicely)I buy most of my parts online for a discount so he is selling it to me for $98. This is the original toyota part that would have come on your vehicle had you got Homelink from the factory. The installation looks VERY simple and if you do a search here I think someone posted the actual Toyota installation pages which I already downloaded and printed.
Good luck, now if I could just find the auto-dimming mirror here in the north. The part number I got for that was for the Southeast Toyota Distribution and my dealer says they are a completely different distributer than up here and his computer does not recognize the part number I gave him.

Homelink - confused???
Toybox thanks for your quick response.
My vehicle (2003 Sport V8 sun/moon roof ) didn't come with HomeLink and I am looking for ways to install it. I thought that part 63670-0W040-B0 is complete HomeLink unit.
But when I called two Toyota dealers at my place, both said that this piece is just a 'plate' and not a garage door opener unit!!??.
I am confused here. Is this part has garage door opener or is it some additional part for vehicles already comes with HomeLink?.
Thanks again for your quick response.

That is the description of the part but it definitly has the Homelink in it. At first I ordered the part number listed in the begining of this post. When it came in I went to pick it up and I held it in my hands and it was the right part with the Homelink buttons except it did not have the moonroof button.
Maybe it was in another thread but someone already installed this and it works. Again the part looked right because it had a lot of stuff going on under this "plate" that must have been the computer/chip that the Homelink uses.
