Garage opener for Canadian BRZ
Does Canadian model BRZ has built-in garage door opener in the rear view mirror? Is that an option?

It's an option. It doesn't come automatically with. It's called HomeLink.

I'm actually not sure. I didn't get the option either. I thought it was maybe a port installed option.
I was not considering it but we're maybe going to be moving so I'm wondering if I should get it added or just wait and get it done later. |

If you REALLY want the OEM HOMELINK, you can wait till Subarugenuineparts.com has it..it'll probably be under $200 us. Their prices are usually pretty damn good.

Thanks you guys for all your update
And I am thinking, interior mirror is stand alone. Can I just get the Impreza one from subarugenuieparts.com and 'glue' it on the windshield instead? ha ha |

i was thinking of just getting the HomeLink buttons from eBay for $25 and put one in near the microphone on the ceiling. similar to this:
if it doesn't fit, it'll go somewhere under the driver-side dash. |

yeah. although i haven't installed one before but i have the homelink feature in my IS300 and it's a definite must have for any of my next cars. afaik, the wiring is easy, just connect to power and ground. imo, $260 + tax is definitely not worth getting the rear-view mirror option from the dealer when you can DIY.
