The install was actually very simple which surprised me actually.

Step 1 remove the homelink panel from the overhead console. I inserted a small screw driver around the edge close the #3 key on the homelink panel and pried downward.

One it drops down which is a down and forward motion since most of the homelink is actuall further up along the overhead console you can then removed the wiring clip if you want to. I left mine since I needed to tap the large green wire for power for the V1.

Next reach inside the hole where the homelink was at and press on the back side of the overhead light panel. It will drop down. I recommend unplugging this and putting it aside. It will be in the way other wise.

Now run the telephone looking cable through the hole where the overlight was at and push it through the headliner where it meets the windshield. Your aiming to bring this through in a spot so it runs along the factory wires going to the rain sensor.
