Adding Garage Door opener

[Big Mama]

Why GM decided to make the button hot all the time is a mystery. It’s as if the engineers never thought about security. I was worried about a thief getting access to my garage overnight, so I plug my garage door opener into a smart outlet that turns off overnight.

great idea. Mine sits outside all the time.

I’m guessing I can reset my garage opener, in the event my ride is no longer in my possession. I have the ability to see the status of my opener on an app as well.

Yes, you can clear out the presets. Don't forget to clear out the navigation unit too.

I never put “Home” as a location in my GPS. I never actually put my address into the GPS. Have heard some stories of folks getting their vehicle stolen from a sporting event or concert and then the person takes the vehicle to “Home” on the navigation map since they know the people are likely not home and then break into the house as well.

Mine is loaded but rarely do I valet the truck anymore. The K2s have a valet mode that conceals such I think and ours was supposed to have it. There's reference to it in the Tech-2 but never read anything about it.

Depending on how old your vehicle is, the older HomeLinks will not sync up with the encryption some of the newer garage door openers use unless you use some type of adapter they sell.

I can manage my garage opener from my app on my iPhone. If, and If they take my ride, the opener will stop working with post haste.

I think he's saying he can wipe all of the associated remotes from the garage door opener unit (usually just a push of a button on the unit). Then none of the remotes work, and he'd have to re-associate all of the ones that are under his control.

My youngest son and his wife recently moved into a townhome, and we purged and reset all of the GDO remotes. That one-button purge is a nice feature. We also changed the locks on the house and the garage.
