Holy cow. All that in a garage door opener?

How does the parking feature work?

Two lasers on ball and socket joints. They automatically come on when door is opened. You mechanically aim them ahead of time to a pre-referenced location on your dashboard. So when you pull in the garage and see the laser in the proper spot on your dash, your Jeep is in far enough to shut the garage door.

Example. On the JK, the laser is set on the hood handle. When it's shining on that, the Jeep is in far enough.

Now that's a garage door opener there. Changed one out before but never anything like that.

It really is. My budget doubled when I first saw that video. I just had to have it.

Are you going to add the tire inflator?

We decided not to just because we both already have compressors on the Jeeps.
 
Love the lasers for position in the garage! Need that on mine. Also need a fan. My garage has been as high as 120 degrees lately! Hard to be enthusiastic about maintenance when you sweat like a pig just entering the garage.

Very nice. Gonna have to up your cell phone game & ditch that flip phone so you can use the bluetooth speakers! ;)

Exactly. Far from necessary, but......

The fan really only seems to be effective when it's aimed right at you. If you were to be working in one spot for awhile, it's nice, but if you're moving around like for tire rotation or brakes, it doesn't do much.
