Questions regarding the Homelink Buttons
Do you guys have the engine on while pressing the button on the rear mirror and close the garage door after you drove your car into the garage?
I notice some other cars can close the garage door with their homelink without the engine on while the starter is in ignition "1" (i.e. electronic "ON"). |

on Japanese cars they're always on.... so make it a habit of locking the garage door into your house folks! ---well you should be anyway! |

How about open the garage door? Does it mean it is safe to turn on the engine first, then you press the button in order to open the garage door? I am not complaining the BMW homelink feature, but I am just wondering about the safety issue. |

^ That's why you install one into your ashtray. Then it is always on, and no one knows its there.

If you have an auto you can press the stop/start button without your foot on the brake and then the home link button will work. |

My other car has a homelink as well; however, I can close / open the garage door when I swithed the key to the 1st position (i.e. with electronic "on" prior all the check lights are on in the dash board while it is in the 2nd position). Thanks. |
