Long range of HomeLink presents a bit of a security risk. The signal transmitted by your car, can be recorded and replayed by a bad actor trying to gain access to your garage or house. Personally, I prefer it to be as short range as possible. My X can trigger my garage from hundreds of feet away, which seems excessive to me. I'm having homelink installed in my 3 tomorrow. I hope it is similar or worse. Frankly, no more that 20 or 30 feet of range would be fine with me.
i thought you could choose to not use the “auto open” mood and set it to where you have to tap to open it as you approach - wouldn’t that resolve any security concern?
