Garage Door Opener MOD

[Spurshot]

If you watch that YouTube showing a guy with a coat hanger opening a garage door in about 15 seconds, you won't worry about someone getting into your alarm equipped truck.

Thank for worrying me even more. [emoji23]

Just saw the video. I’ll be fixing that right away. Lol. Thanks for that. My suburbia neighborhood is pretty safe, but the moment you let your guard down...

If someone wants to break Into the garage, they will.

 

If someone wants to break into my truck, they will.

 

But by not having the overhead garage door access, my chances are less likely that they'll be breaking into both.

I just recently did this upgrade. Bought a used overhead console with homelink built in off eBay for around 50 bucks. Came with everything I needed except it had the sunroof and rear slider switches. So I used my console and swapped the harness parts for the homelink. Then I ordered The correct trim plate for 20 bucks. So at 70 bucks it was definitely worth it.

This is true, and it's why I have a top of the line alarm system w/ monitoring on my house.... I am debating continuing to lock my doors when I am away, I'd rather not have some loser breaking my door, I'd rather they just open it, set the alarm off and bail...

The idea of home security is to make it secure enough that the burglar is sufficiently discouraged that he moves on to your poor neighbor's house. Let's face it, our homes are not far from sticks and mud. A sledge hammer will gain you entry thru most walls, doors or windows.

Never had a problem with the homelink units in any GM vehicle for years now. They have all worked and have good reception.

Agree!... garage door, and led lights work from my homelink... and fast too!..

I'm like the OP, I want the clean look without the bulky clicker. Does it perform as well? Maybe it does, maybe it does not, I don't care. I can open my doors from the road as I approach, that's all I care about.

Why do so many people divert away from the thread.....who cares about someone breaking in your home. If they want in, they’ll get in. The homelink works fine and has worked fine in any vehicle I’ve had with it.

Wouldn't be great if the homelink was wired to an accessory power circuit instead of always hot. Then the homelink would only work with the key on.

Yeah, but, then, you wouldn't get updates from the myChevrolet app. Or, the ability to use it to locate the truck, start it up, lock it or unlock it, etc ...

I installed it in my 18 as I liked the convenience of it from my pos 14 I traded.  The important things to remember is ensure you order the right color piece.  Then take your time as plastic can break especially if ambient tempt drops.  The range may not be as far as the separate opener but I like the cleaner look and not having to find the opener floating around the console with my other junk.
