thx Redkite, now I have to find a good way to source one (any ideas about the price at the dealer?)

Hi - not wanting to hijack a thread - since it's 4-5 years old I'm guessing no one will mind.

I have recently purchased a Vantage with the 4.7 in it and can't for the life of me figure out what the buttons on the RV mirror do (as the photo in this thread) - are they for garage door/access gate entry, if so how are they programmed? There's nothing I can see in the owners manual.

Thanks!!
Pete

Hi Pete, yes it's a Homelink system. It can be a bit of a pain to program (I almost gave up) but has worked great once done. I use it for the gate and garage.

Regarding instructions it is in the manual. Section 2.14 quite near the start.

I have since changed to a V8S and had the mirror swapped over by the dealer. The buttons operate a homelink garage door or gate. I have set 2 of mine to operate the remote exhaust fuse 15 bypass as supplied by Clive :-) http://www.cccharger.co.uk/

Great - thanks!

I'm still getting use my new (older) drive - so lots of things that are new and often very different (SS box). I picked the car up in North Atlanta and up in the mountains now in North Carolina. What a great car on these roads - it's the fist car I've driven in years that gives me the same buzz as my Ducati... except with less of a 'if I slip-up I'm dead' feeling. I spend 12 years in the UK and see why this would be a great car on 'B' roads - not a great deal of fun on the Interstates.... other than all the gawking and thumbs up - always nice smile Will be heading back to Florida in a few days so the flat/straight roads there won't be as much fun, nor the $$$ hungry coppers.

best -
