Chamberlain Group’s myQ, a leader in smart access solutions, has partnered with Kia America, Inc. (“Kia”) to bring drivers Kia myQ Connected Garage1. This effort highlights myQ’s seamless integration with compatible 2024 and 2025 Kia vehicles, enabling drivers to monitor and control their garage doors remotely from the vehicle’s intuitive touchscreen display.
With Kia myQ Connected Garage, drivers can enjoy unparalleled convenience and peace of mind. Drivers are not only able to check to see if they left their garage door open but are also able to close the garage door remotely. Whether on a daily commute or miles away, Kia owners can monitor and manage their garage door through the vehicle’s touchscreen display, ensuring their garage and home remain secure. Features include:
- Custom Geofencing Features: Automatically open or close the home’s garage door based on the vehicle’s proximity, ensuring a seamless arrival and departure experience.
- Simplified In-Vehicle Operation: Operate the garage door from the vehicle’s touchscreen display, eliminating the need for separate apps or devices.
- Multiple garage doors, multiple locations: Securely monitor and control your home and other compatible garages within your myQ ecosystem, all from your Kia’s touchscreen display.
- Added peace of mind: When the auto close feature is interrupted and the garage door is left open, drivers receive a reminder to remotely close the garage.
“Our teamwork with Kia America exemplifies how myQ continues to push the boundaries of smart access technology by integrating it seamlessly into everyday life,” said Jim Trainor, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Automotive Business Unit, Chamberlain Group. “We’re thrilled to bring this technology to Kia drivers, making connected living more convenient and secure.”
“Integrating myQ’s Connected Garage with our vehicles reinforces Kia’s dedication to continuously improve the customer experience With Kia Digital Features and Services, we’re making each journey more connected and intuitive, putting smarter technology at the heart of every trip our customers take.” said Sujith Somasekharan, Director, Connected Car and Mobility, Kia North America.
Kia myQ Connected Garage works with leading smart garage door openers on the market today, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman. Most other brands of garage door openers can be easily upgraded to a compatible smart garage with a myQ Smart Garage Control device. It’s a cloud-based solution that does not require any hardware installation within the vehicle or manual programming. With a myQ account, all your garage doors will automatically be connected to a compatible Kia vehicle when myQ is linked to your Kia Connect account. The Kia myQ Connected Garage feature is offered for a 3-month complimentary trial.
Kia myQ Connected Garage will be available to Kia drivers with compatible vehicles through an upcoming Kia Digital Services software update early next year. Learn more by checking out: Kia myQ Connected Garage Press Kit
