"Expanding access to this feature, allowing more Mitsubishi drivers the ability to secure their garage doors – whenever, wherever, and regardless of whether they prefer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – is a win for everyone."
Chamberlain Group, a global leader in access control solutions with its LiftMaster® and Chamberlain® garage door opener brands and myQ technology, originally launched myQ in 2011 to answer the often-thought question – "Did I remember to close the garage door?" Today, millions of homeowners use the myQ app to control, secure and monitor their garage from their smartphone.
"Our myQ customers have been asking for a smarter, safer way to use their phone in the car. By integrating myQ functionality into the My Mitsubishi Connect app, drivers can seamlessly transition garage control to their in-vehicle touch screen using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto," said James Trainor, Vice President General Manager of Automotive for Chamberlain Group. "Bringing the capabilities of myQ smart garage control into the vehicle's in-dash touchscreen is a natural extension of our technology that allows drivers to safely open and close their garage door from wherever they are on their journey, without the need to interact with their phone while driving."
