Vaild point, when its an option.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:34 pm I keep my garage door opener clipped to my visor, but I get around having my vehicle broken into and having the opener stolen and used to burgle my garage by actually parking both of our vehicles INSIDE the garage at night. Novel idea, I know.....but it really works!

I'm not going to leave this info on here very long as I would perfer not to educate criminals on how to beat the system. Please don't quote it for that reason either.
If you need basic instructions on how to make it so they only work with a key on let me know.n5wmk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:42 amWhat if you can't take the garage door remote out of the vehicle? My 2012 Toyota Tacoma and my wife's 2017 Ford Explorer both have Homelink garage door openers built in.
Mine is on the rear view mirror, hers is built into the visor. On either one, the button is active without the ignition turned on. In other words, if the vehicle is parked outside and someone breaks into the vehicle, they can open the garage door right then, gaining access to the garage and possibly our house. I wish that the manufacturers would make it so the buttons aren't active unless the ignition is on.
We always lock the door between the kitchen and the garage at night. And I've installed WiFi garage door openers/annunciators on both doors. I get a text message every time one of the doors is opened and closed, and I can close them from anywhere that my phone has internet service.
