Yahoo Autos Honda and Acura's Apple CarPlay, Android Auto will open and close your garage door
You’ll soon be able to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your Honda or Acura to open and close your garage door. It’s a new feature made possible through a partnership with the Chamberlain Group’s myQ Connected Garage service.
Honda says that all of its 2023 and 2024 model year vehicles will be compatible with this new tech, but it also says that “millions of older Honda and Acura models supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also have compatibility.” That’s especially great to hear that the convenience is not just going to be limited to brand-new models.
As for how it works, the system is fairly straightforward. You can set a geofence that will automatically prompt you with a system notification when you get within a certain distance of your garage. Follow the onscreen instructions to open, and your garage door will do as you command. The same can be done to close your garage door.
