3 buttons on the driver's side visor? Wha...? Uhm you bought your 97 used right? Gotta be an installed accessory by the previous owner.

yea im pretty sure its for the GDO. uhm the premium model galants did have an option like that i recall...

Okay you guys, here's the dillyoh,

The 1997 Galant ES and LS with the Premium package came with
The HomeLink system. Pinoyesv6 was correct it is a GDO and more!
This system can be programed to operate up to three separate devices
that use RF transmission i.e. remote controlled house lights, entry gate, sprinkler system etc..( check with the manufacturer of the device to make sure it's compatible with the HomeLink system.) most things are.

STEP 1) To clear the HomeLink memory:
press and hold down the two buttons on each end of the the HomeLink
until the little red light starts to flash rapidly then, release.
This will clear the memory of all three buttons.

STEP 2) To Program the HomLink system:
select and press down the button you want to program until the red light
goes from steady to flashing (keep pressing)
Now take your other remote controller and press the function you want to assign to the HomeLink button you are pressing down on. (keep your remote very close to the HomeLink around 1". When the flashing red light gets faster the code is stored.

Repeat for the other two buttons.

Please note: the memory clear function will clear all three buttons.
to re-program ONE button just follow step 2)

I hope this helps out

yeah, so I am really jealous now. My garage door opener looks like something from an original run of star trek, Only with Duct tape on it. Post a pic if you can.

Hah, I have that on my G-Lant....to bad I dont have a garage...or any remote controlled houselights :cry:

[Mazarin]

I've got mine set to the garage.

I also have it set to my mom's old van. It had one of those remote motorized doors. So whenever I go by a Chevy Venture, I hit the button, just in case...

[cantbeatmy97]

thanx a bunch man

[seth98esT]

So could you program this to any remote???? Cause I wanna program a few buttons off of my remote to my car stereo to perform certain things. Ha I am just trying to get as many "Remote" type of devices in my car.

I have 1) The Remote 2) Volume/VC Button on my Ebrake and 3) Voice Recognition, oh yeah, and 4) My Compaq Ipaq. Dont ask me why I want more, just would be cool to have

Maz. I can just picture some poor sap with a Chevy van wondering why his door keeps opening by itself.

Or even worse, a bunch of little kids falling out of the van...

About the homelink, for the 8g Galant do you think the power comes from the car battery or just from a battery inside the visor ??? and do you know how much is it cost for an 8g Visor with universal homelink remote like that ???

Thanks
