    Fred's instructions were so good. I watched the video a couple of times while I was waiting for my Homelink kit to arrive. I thought the front would have been the hard part but I completed it in 20 minutes. I mounted the Homelink in the saddle bag and then tried to pull the cable. I could not get the cable into the saddle bag so I taped a thin ribbon on the back side of the plug and fed the ribbon into the saddle bag. When I pulled on the ribbon the plug turned in through the hole in the bag. Once I had the rubber plug to the hole I took a long screw driver and massaged it from the back side and it popped in. Even with the trouble I had getting the wire in the bag it only took 90 minutes to complete and program. This is on a 2024 DCT Touring that I got last weekend Thank you Fred

    Fred, you are incredibly talented. I just installed the homelink on my 2024 GW DCT. It took me about 2 hours. And best of all it works. Saved myself over 900.00 that the dealer wanted.

    Hi Fred, I know this is an older post, but just as pertinent for my 2022 DCT Tour. Took me a little longer than you, but that's probably because I putz around cleaning a lot of things you don't usually see whenever everything's together. And you can add another 10 minutes or so just just for the cursing I did when it came to squeezing that rubber grommet though the hole. Nonetheless, great video. It saved me a lot of time and money... that's more than worth a few minutes of cursing out the grommet.

    This video was super helpful. I was able to complete the installation in a little over an hour without unscrewing the antenna on my 2022 DCT bagger. The hardest part was fishing the wiring harness through the hole. A tip: pre-bend the plug on the harness 90 degrees and shine a light through the hole in the saddle bag. Then feed the harness down to the hole. It will feed straight into the hole.

    It took about an hour total to install on our 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour CSC Encore Trike.
    If installing on a trike, you mount the module under the seat where you have some room. Use double sided tape to hold the module in place.

      @Bags2723 I had installed a Puig windshield as well and came back recently from a trip to (almost) the east coast & back to the midwest. I like the extra width and all, but I wish it wasn't quite so tall, the lowest position can't be use as it distorts the view at my sitting height as you're looking thru the very top of it back and forth over and thru the shield. I may just look into a stock height but wider width shield if it gets too annoying, haha!

    • @Bags2723

      The allen screws might be more easily removed/reinstalled, and the panel above them flexed to a lesser amount, by using a "ball end" allen wrench which allows the fastener to be turned at an angle. That's what I will do when I install mine.

    An excellent instructive video. However, the cost of the homelink kit, plus the fiddly installation made me ask myself the question as to why is this a better option than having my small garage remote in my jacket pocket and simply pushing the remote button through the material of the pocket as I approach my garage? I couldn't think of any reasonable answer to this question so I shall just keep my small button remote in my pocket and activate the garage door that way and save the money and hassle of a Honda homelink kit to cover the annual cost of gasoline. 😊

    I'll just use a remote. For the price we paid, it should have been a standard just like the fog lights, which they made standard in 2020. It's not like Honda would have lost any money.

    And the real last thing you’re gonna do is get that saddlebag back open and hook that cable back up to the latch it wasn’t on there.

    For the price of the bike, that should be in !!!!!To do this whole job just to open the garage door, really !!! For fog lights, I say sure. Listen all......Go on Amazon and order the MYQ for $45.00 a kit, set up the APP on any phone and in 1/2 and hour you are set to open your door even from Europe as long as you have strong cell or wifi connection from anywhere. I have the APP on my Iphone on the main screen and one click and the door is open for me. Makes no sense...LOL
