What 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.
