To my knowledge I don't think you can. There are only a few certain apps that can be installed, for the most part they are music and driving directions/maps apps. And even then they have to be installed on your phone, at least with the Sync 3 system. The list below may or may not be accurate (found them on google search)

• Music Streaming: Pandora, Spotify, Slacker Radio, iHeartRadio, Livio, Tidal Music.
• Travel: Waze Navigation & Live Travel, Glympse, What3Words.
• News & Weather: Stitcher, WSJ, NPR, Accuweather.

It may not be exactly what you want but there are two options, scrap the MyQ and get the Meross opener from Amazon for $35 and it works with Apple and Android phones so you can just say Hey Siri or Alexa open my garage door. Next option is to do the Kia auto-dimming rear view mirror mod that has homelink built in to it. It wont be on the screen but both options are easy fixs.

Fish, if you are using an Android phone and Android Auto, and you have a My Q phone app already, you can control your garage door via voice command. I've Aladdin Connect, which is similiar to My Q. To open or close either of my garages I press the voice command button on the steering wheel, say "Hey Google Open Garage One" (or whatever you named your garage in the My Q app)it asks for a password, I say it and the door opens. The second garage is the same, as is closing either.

The way you set it up is thru Google Home, which is an app your phone most likely has already. Once you link your My Q to Google Home app on your phone, the rest is already set up and ready to go.

Here's a link to more informaion for My Q set up.

If you use an Apple phone, or don't have the My Q phone app, this may not work or will need to be set up differently.

Good luck!

Thank you. I do have an iPhone.

If you search my posts there used to be a way to integrate MyQ with apple carplay through a shortcut. It worked amazingly. Then MyQ updated their app and removed API features. This elimated the ability to open the door outside of the app. This forces you to use the app and see the ads they started showing within the app. So no there is no MyQ option outside of the app.

Just put your opener in the otherwise useless cubby. Wedge it in there with a piece of foam or rubber or felt. No app or phone needed.

Added a Gentex self dimming mirror with homelink built in. Opens up to 3 doors.

Or add the Homelink sun visor from a Escape or Bronco Sport.

You are fortunate. I followed various online instructions, and no joy. I found this statement that may explain why I can't find a way to link MyQ with Google:
"The MyQ integration will be removed from Home Assistant in release 2023.12 on December 6, 2023. Chamberlain Group, the owners of MyQ, have released a public statement saying they will continue blocking access to third-party apps, like the MyQ integration."

That's a bummer. You'd think MyQ would work to expand access not reduce. Perhaps there was a security issue? Either that, or they want to force customers into a subscription.

Does it work??

Has anyone on here done this? I haven’t seen it in the threds. If you happen to have a link to a thread showing how this was done I would appreciate it.
