In 2018, if you have a Honda CR-V EX or LX model, they do not come with Homelink installed straight from the factory. However, models such as the EX-L and Touring Edition do come equipped with this feature. Homelink includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a built-in garage door opener that can be programmed, eliminating the need for a separate remote on your visor. If you want to add this feature to your vehicle, you can purchase the rearview mirror assembly with these features from an online retailer or a used parts dealer. Make sure to find a wiring schematic that indicates the wire colors and locations for proper installation.
HomeLink is a handy radio transmitter that can be customized to operate your garage door, manage your home security system, control RF lights, and power various devices and gadgets inside your home, all with just one device instead of multiple remotes. Usually found on the overhead console or attached to the rearview mirror, HomeLink features three buttons and can be conveniently programmed through a simple setup process. The 2018 models of Honda CR-V EX-L and CR-V Touring include HomeLink, unlike the EX and LX versions.
The EX trim package doesn't include it! Sales reps never mention that. There's no built-in garage door opener, a feature found in almost all other cars in the US! I'm let down by the 2021 Honda CR-V EX.
Found out this information last night after buying a CRV EX earlier this week. It's honestly the first time I've felt let down by Honda. It's a budget-friendly feature that should definitely come standard in every EX model. Frustrating!
I'm unable to locate it inside my brand-new CRV EX. This is really disappointing.
