Limited Rearview Mirror Illumination, Do Homelink Buttons Light Up Options

[opelikamike]

We have an 08 Limited with the 3 Homelink Channel buttons on the rear view mirror. can anyone tell me if these buttons are supposed to be illuminated when the headlights are on? I can't find anything in the manual but when it's dark and we are wanting to press channel i to open our garage door; it's hard to find the button if it's nighttime. I was just wondering if ours should be lit but maybe it's malfunctioning.

If anyone notices whether their homelink buttons are lighted at night I'd appreciate knowing so i can take it in to the dealer and get it fixed.

Not on my 07 or my Dads 06 or My Fatherinlaws 08. We all wished they did

OK thanks. I've emailed Hyundai to confirm. I guess I'll get a little piece of that flourescent green tape and put it on the button. Hopefully that will emit enough of a glow to assist us in finding the button.

"Homelink", which is a separate company, in and of itself, iand is used in many different manufacturers mirrors.

Unfortunately, none are illuminated, and I certainly agree with you that it is a real pain in the butt looking for the right buttons.

I have three of the buttons programmed. Two are for both of our garage doors and one is for the house interior lights. I have no trouble finding the first one, but the rest are difficult. Especially the third one, which is the house lights.

I am working on a design for a couple of low emitting LEDs up there that look as much like OEM as possible.

I'd be very interested in what you come up with. In the meantime I may just put a little dot of glow tape on the button and see if it provides enough contrast to find the button.

FYI, I got an email from Hyundai confirming that the homelink buttons are not lighted and they also confirmed that the reverse parking aid option described on page 1-23 in the owners manual was not on the Azera even though it was in the manual. Not a big deal but thought I'd pass the info along. I may put a little raised pc. of something over the one homelink button that i use so it's easier to find in the dark or try my fluorescent tape idea.

I have only the first one programmed, if I push it and see the mirror's power LED go to unblinking red, I say "Oops" and move my thumb a little to the left and try again...
