Possibly. Well, they have to wrap the rubber bands around something I expect.

From that list, mine has A/C, the stereo (it sucks - Ford does a MUCH better job), cloth seats, defrost...

I got my Craftsman Assurelink installed today. I like this. I can see from my phone or tablet if the door is open and closed... and for how long.

You can watch your house from a phone. Doors, lights, windows, motion, you name it.
You gotta love technology.

Now days, don't upset the wife. She'll put a tracker on your car/truck, and you'll never be able to get away with anything ever again. LOL

So what is this for exactly ? Guess I'm not following, -is it like a reminder in case you leave the G door open. Or are burglars decoding openers, like a theft deterrent.
I guess it could be handy in the way of checking the garage door on your phone vs getting out of your easy chair and taking a look lol. Seriously, just a convenience sort of deal correct ? Can you monitor this while away from home ?

Yes, on both accounts. It is plugged into my router so I can access it anywhere, and it will tell me if it is open/closed, and how long. I can close it from my phone as long as I have data/internet. If I were at work and was closing it, and somebody was in there at home.... it sounds an alarm for 15 seconds before it actually closes.

White......I guarantee you that you will add other things later. lol I have my security cameras set up to access from my phone, I have a Ring doorbell, that I see from the phone, and I'm going to add my in-house Starcam's (2), to my phone. I have all of these on my tablets, and have Ring added to my app's on my radio head in lil Red. I can be going down the highway and if I get someone at the house, it comes to my phone immediately, which I see on my dash. It's very cool, these times of technology that we old farts live in. LOL.

My Boss has Ring, Nest, and a camera system in and out on his phone. My Sister that gave me the little car... she even has a Samsung stove with WiFi so you can turn the stove on while you are on your way home. Not sure what you need that one for.... but it exists.

LOL, yeah. At my old house, my Wife would sometimes use the stove to hold frying pans, etc. I'd be scared to start it with that stuff in there.
