I'm new to this, just purchased a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener. I have the 2013 Crosstrek Premium and of course it doesn't have the homelink. So I'm using the Chamberlain remote. My question is there a cheap way of putting in this Crosstrek an aftermarket Homelink that will sink with the Chamberlain Garage Door opener?

Actually, there is a cheap way...
It's a little known fact that most of the autodimming rearview mirrors with homelink built-in are made by one company -Gentex.
To make things interesting, they really only have two models - an older one which have painted buttons and a newer one with injection moulded buttons (and slightly better autodimming). There will be a bit of variation between the mounts but most japanese cars and some North American use the same mount that Subaru has and the wired harness to connect the mirror to the car.
Knowing the above, you can buy an used mirror from e-Bay/autowreckers for under $100 (many times for under $50), buy the wiring harness as well as the windshield mount adapter (if the autowrecker didn't have it with the mirror) from an online parts place and do the install yourself!

Here's the Subaru model number for the harness - H501SSG010.
Here's the Subaru model number for the windshield adapter - H501SSA040.
