Thought I'd share this....I picked up a Homelink unit from Pull-a-Part the other day for $6 and fabricated it into my driver's sun visor. With the visor up it looks perfectly OEM. With the visor down the vinyl covering my holes is apparent. Soon on my next day off I plan to hire an upholstery shop to recover the visor completely and match the OEM material and make it look perfect, which will cost me $20 or so. But for now I'm happy and it works.
In order to do this quick and easy I simply ran a 9V for power rather than taking the headliner apart and splicing in somewhere. I know this is apostasy to some of you but again for $6 and assuming you have a battery laying around it's a nice easy and useful mod. I did this to another car a few years ago and a 9V is enough to power a Homelink for many years.
The only hangup was that there are some metal wire brackets inside the foam to give it support. I had to remove a few inches to make the HL unit fit, but it's unnoticeable.
Here are some pictures:
