Tips on Setting Up BMW Car With Garage Opener

A garage opener is a small, hand-held device that opens a garage door with the push of the button so that a homeowner does not need to get out of the vehicle to open the garage. By using the garage door opener, the owner can open the door to the garage and never set foot in poor weather such as rain or snow. BMW owners have several options for using garage openers.

Special Compartments

  • Every BMW model and car has a different design and appearance. Some come with special compartments that are specifically made for a garage opener. Other BMWs have hidden compartments that could be used for a garage door opener. For instance, there is a location on the bottom of the HVAC controls that has a removable panel. This pops out and hide the garage opener and can pop back on to hold the opener in place where it is out of sight.

Factory Installation

  • BMW owners are concerned about installing anything on their vehicle, due to potential damage to the car's value. Taking your BMW to a dealership and having it installed professionally is a convenient option.

Glove Compartment Option

  • Rather than spending extra money on installing the garage opener, BMW owners can hide it in the glove compartment or any compartment. This is a convenient storage location that does not cost extra and keeps the garage opener within easy reach.
