Default Do i need harness for overhead console??

hey guys, My 2005 ls didnt come with a homelink overhead console and i was wondering if i need a harness to install this or do i justneed the console it self with the plug?? same question goes for the auto dimming mirror, do i need a harne to install that on my LS?

PS: anybody knows where i can get cheap chackets to intall a stock tower brace? mine didnt come with that either and i have the tower brace not no brackets.

I'm wondering the same thing! I'd also like to add heated mirrors and need to know if the wire harness is already there.

I'm not familiar with adding factory options to a vehicle that didn't originally have them, but from what I've read I'd think that you would also have to have the BCM reprogrammed to include those options in order to get them to function correctly.

As far as the factory front tower brace goes, my car doesn't have brackets. The bar bolts directly to the strut towers. I think it is the aftermarket braces that require brackets. I did have to purchase brackets when I installed the rear STB though. I got them through Don Rome.

I can't tell you about the overhead console, but I can tell you to check out Don Rome for brackets.

Else you can always drill your strut towers for the bolts that came with the brace.
