So you can buy a smart garage door opener but my opener is working fine so I went with this https://gotailwind.com/

I use a iPhone so I had to buy the separate transmitter puck that you keep in your vehicle Android does not need it. I also needed a separate hub so I already have Apple TV so that is used as a hub. Apple HomePod smart speakers also work as a hub.

It was an easy install. Now when I drive up the door raises as I approach the garage. If you drive away far enough it will auto close however that is only meant as a back up to closing yourself. To close I just tell Siri to close the door and it closes. One nice feature about this is you are notified when your door has been opened no matter where you are. You can also open it for another person remotely if need be.

There is also a night mode that you can use to automatically shut the garage door at a certain time in case you forget to shut it. Great feature for those of us that have CRS

Thanks. That may be in the future for me.

I put it in front of the cup holders where that little rectangle rampy thing is that looks like it was made exactly for my opener. Like you I fumble a bit with it in the dark but it is a perfect fit so that's where it lives.

Keychain. I use key fob size opener.

Embedded in the autodim with compass mirror I installed. I wired it so it doesn't work without vehicle power on. Even got one for my Miata!

Mine is stored in the sunglasses holder in the ceiling

Built into Gentex mirror I added.

I purchased a new mini opener that I could easily hide for safety and aesthetic reasons. I have it Velcroed underneath the cigarette lighter.

Driver's side visor but I get the desire to not use that spot. It can mess up the visor and/or headliner after a while.

Keep mine here also but just got a KIA self dimming rear view mirror that has a compass and three universal door openers built in that I will be replacing the manual Maverick rear view mirror with.

That was one of my first upgrades. The $20.00 with shipping KIA mirror with homelink has worked great and the auto-dimming feature is much appreciated too. I liked it so much I bought 2 more, one for my 2024 Hybrid that has finally been scheduled. Even cheaper now than when I last bought them.

I placed mine with Velcro on the left wall in the weird side cubby. It still provides space to put something in the cubby and hides the opener pretty well. It allows me to still have a sunglass holder for sunglasses. I always like to hide away the opener as opposed to leaving it on the visor, etc.

Because I use the drivers visor, in different positions to block the sun, and rarely have a passenger.

I just ordered one of these from kiafastparts.com. Hopefully they don’t come back cancelling the order due to out of stock. 🫰

**edit**
Cancelled within minutes of ordering. Probably while I was posting this post.
