  • Install the myQ Device: Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions to set up the myQ device and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
  • Download the myQ App: Download the myQ app on your smartphone and create an account.
  • Link the Garage Door Opener: In the myQ app, add your garage door opener by following the on-screen instructions, which typically involve scanning a QR code on the myQ device.
  • Connect with Your Car: Depending on your car’s make and model, you may need to download a compatible app or access the car’s settings menu to connect it to the myQ system. This process will vary, so refer to your car’s manual for specific instructions.
  • Test the Connection: Once your car is connected to the myQ system, test it by opening and closing the garage door from your vehicle.

5. Troubleshooting and Additional Tips:

  • If you encounter difficulties during the setup process, consult the user manuals for your car, garage door opener, and myQ device for troubleshooting guidance.
  • Ensure that your garage door opener has a working safety reversal system and sensors installed to prevent accidents.
