Default My Q

I bought and installed a MyQ, I can open and close the garage with my phone from anywhere in the world as long as I have wifi. It also shows me if the door is open or closed and how long it’s been open or closed. I bought it at Lowe’s, it has a bracket that mounts on the ceiling beside your garage door motor, four screws and you’re good to go! No remotes in car or cart. There are other devices but this on had the best reviews for installing, operating and support.

I bought a My Q for my door up North, but brought it down here. The app says it's not compatible with a Romac/MVP.

Just tried again with the My Q and it will not pair with the Romac MVP installed in 2013. Do you have a newer MVP ?

I have it mounted with Velcro tape under the dash of cart ...can’t see it unless you are looking/ feeling for it.

We have an app on our phones that works as a remote. We can open it from anywhere if a neighbor needs to borrow something. It always lets you know if door is open or closed.

If you have a seperat remote for your golf cart you should not have your house key attached to it. You already have an access to to your house with the remote.

Until you come home some day or night and the power is off. In that case, you'll need a door key or an open window to crawl in.

Oh, good point. Does that happen often? When was the last time?

These are the two scenarios my non-criminal mind can come up with.

In any event, we feel pretty comfortable having it in our overhead shelf.
I feel this same way. So I have mine zip tied to the steering column below the speedometer.

Pretty hard to see it there and it is very handy to push the button when I am getting back home.

Smart Home & Smart Garage | myQ

MyQ - i just researched it. You but a piece of hardware in the garage and something on the garage door - the hardware is available on Amazon for $25 or $30. Then link it to an app. I think the app is free.

Here’s the hardware on amazon

Seems easy
