Home link

RL 1 · 03-18-2007

Dan,I have a 2006, 280 without the home link, I assume the unit is in the rear view mirror, if so can I purchase a equiped mirror and switch the mirrors, is it as easy as direct plug in.

Thanks RL 1

the homelink is not part of the mirror as far as I know. My homelink is actuall behind the mirror, closer to the windshield glass then my buttons to turn my interior lights on.

Thanks John, I didn t get a up close look at a SLK vehicle with home link, saw one at dealership, my 06 E is built into the rear view mirror and my 05 Vette was in the mirror and was a swap and plug mirror.

Its located on the overhead control panel and yes it is a plug and play swap.

Dan, I agree with you that it should be a direct plug in, however I spoke to a MB Tech and a parts person and both stated, no it can not be done.

**DansSlk** · 03-26-2007

Thats bull**** i can assure you.

I happen to be an MB lead tech myself and yes on some MY's the connection cable for power is not installed but you can tap the 12V right next to it for power and thats all it requires i know the EU 06 has the wire already not sure about US versions but as i say easy fix

It will work honest!

Dan, thanks again I will follow this up.

**Zeiser50** · 04-25-2007

Dan,
I would like also to add it. It seems to be easy.

But do you have any idea of the price (for a 2005 SLK 55, and european frequencies) ?

**DansSlk** · 04-25-2007

Hey mate,

If i could have your VIN i can fire that into the DB, i don't think they cost much to be honest with you.

You can PM it to me if you want to mate thats fine.

Regards,
Dan

**DesignoSLK** · 04-25-2007

So help me not be confused here. Are we talking about the 3 buttons that are just above the rearview mirror (on the r170)? I'll wait for your answer to pose my question so I don't get OT.

Great! Than here's my question.

I am not able to get my "home link" to learn my garage door opener. Here's the rub, I know my operators manual says it only works on US model openers. I obviously have a german opener and can't get it to learn. Is there anyway around this?

No sorry mate you will need to replace the unit the US model is not capable of operating on the required frequencies.
