The integrated system within the specified vehicle model and year that allows for the remote operation of a residential or commercial access point is a convenience feature. This embedded technology eliminates the need for a separate, handheld remote, streamlining the process of entering or exiting a property. The system is typically programmable to interface with a variety of garage door opener brands and models.
The value of such a system lies in its enhanced security, convenience, and integration with the vehicle’s existing technology. The in-vehicle integration reduces the risk of a remote being lost or stolen, as the function is tied directly to the car. Historically, these systems have evolved from simple remote controls to sophisticated, programmable interfaces, offering increasing compatibility and user-friendliness.
