Where do people keep their parking gate fob/clicker?

[Ruffus23]

Have multiple gates in my parkade so I am stuck using the old fashioned clunky clicker/fob. Where do people keep this in your car? I don't want to keep it in the drink holders but it seems this is where it will eventually go.

Could you program it into the homelink module?

no homelink on my car. I believe multiple levels of parkades with multiple levels of gates may throw off homelink as well.

I have it securely velco taped to the drive side door compartment. It is taped upright so I can use my hand to reach into it and press.
Since it is velco taped, I can remove it easily to change the batteries once a year.

In the forward console tray.

Attached to the drivers side sun visor.

Homelink would likely work just fine. Just need to program each gate initially.

As for the Geolocation function, it sounds like you may have an issue, but it’s pretty darn good at hitting the marks perfect. But you can still manually operate the home link functions on screen.

I have an entrance gate, and two garage doors. All of which work just fine with homelink.

my nod is for the homelink as i have that too.

ive seen some cats mount it behind the ipad screen with velcro.

Mine is velcroed to the back of the screen in the bottom center. It can't be seen from outside the car and is easy reach and click the button.

I keep mine in a (front) center console tray;

Velcro’ed to the back bottom of the monitor. Invisible to anyone not in the know. l

Used velcro to mount under steering column…can’t see it but can easily reach it. My association gate will not work with homelink since our fobs use a proprietary signal for security reasons.

Tried sticking it behind the screen (bottom left corner). Didn't always work flawlessly (interference), so it went back clipped to my sun visor. Not as good looking for performs well.

Interesting! I've been meaning to try behind the screen to put it out of sight of burglars.

I had a lot of trouble with remote control range, often having to drive right up to the garage, whereas walking 150' down the street worked fine. Shifting the Model 3 into Park helped, so I concluded the car emits too much RFI for my 20 year old garage door opener. Replacing the door opener fixed that -- current models use 3 radio channels.

 

[GtiMart]

Yeah, when I said interference, I cannot say if it's additional RF that emanates from the car or if it's just obstruction. I can only say that my garage door remote works much better, more reliably, from farther away from the sun visor.
I cannot personally justify spending 400$ to obtain and install the Homelink thingy.

I have mine Velcro attached to the bottom back of the display (;eft side corner). Have had zero interference issues - even when opening from 100 yards away.

I made a removable tray that fits in the forward console to keep remote and additional drink holder. May be able to buy something like it.
