The KWIKLINK™ Universal Home Access System (which operates on a rolling code, such as is commonly known in the home/vehicle security art) comprises a vehicle mounted transmitter and a receiver located in the garage. The KWIKLINK™ system is a low-current device that can be, optionally, operated off a battery source, such as a long life lithium battery. It is also compact and lightweight as executed on a single-or double-sided printed circuit board. The KWIKLINK™ printed circuit board can be mounted within the mirror housing (optionally adhered to a shock absorber comprising a double-sticky tape anti-scatter layer on the rear of the reflector element (prismatic or electrochromic) such as is described in U. S. Pat. No. 5,572,354 entitled "Rear Mirror Assembly", invented by J. Desmond et al. and issued Nov. 5, 1996, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein or may be accommodated within pod 506, such as the detachable pod module described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,576,678 entitled "Mirror Support Bracket", invented by R. Hook et al. and issued Nov. 19, 1996, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and with the detachable module attached to the mirror mount or to the mirror button. Mounting the KWIKLINK™ unit in a detachable module has advantages, particularly for aftermarket supply where a battery operated KWIKLINK™ unit can be supplied within a pod housing (with the necessary user actuatable button or buttons mounted on the pod and with the battery being readily serviceable either by access through a trap door and/or by detaching the pod from the mirror mount). By supplying a battery-operated, stand-alone, snap-on, detachable KWIKLINK™ mirror mount pod, the KWIKLINK™ home access system can be readily and economically provided to a broad range of mirrors including non-electrical mirrors such as base prismatic mirrors, and electrical mirrors such as unlighted and lighted mirrors (including prismatic and electrochromic types) and electo-optic mirrors, such as electrochromic mirrors. Further, a solar panel 514a may be installed on the pod housing to recharge the battery.
