That's what I do. I don't need an opener integrated into the car.
Only Jeep not on the Homelink website is the Renegade. What's the deal? Is that because it is not really a Jeep but a Fiat in disguise? Well! after researching all possibilities and most were either ugly interfaces or very bulky, the problem was solved by installation of MyQ Garage door opener. Cost me $20 on Amazon and about 30 minutes to install and program. Now I have gotten rid of all those ugly openers from all my cars and just operate the door on my phone which I carry everywhere anyway. It takes a few seconds to open so I operate it when I am approaching the house so that it will be opening as I pull into the driveway. Problem solved. I didnt want to start cutting up the interior to install a clunky piece of hardware and cause more problems. Plus the interface costs over a 150 bucks!!
I tried those mini remotes from Amazon. Mixed bag of success. Programming those little ones are hit and miss. I gave up cos by the time I programmed 3 buttons the 1st would stop working. My recommendation is go with MyQ. About the price of that Mini opener and more reliable. Works with your phone so you dont have to carry different remotes for different cars. Best thing is I can open and close garage door remotely. I even installed a camera to monitor delivery of shipments from Amazon or Chewy etc.
There is really nothing wrong with using the remotes. Its just that I hate carrying 4 clunky remotes in each car as I dont know which garage I will be using. A wireless garage door monitor works great. My phone will replace all the remotes (16 remotes in total) and I always have my phone on me. In the worst case scenario if I ever forget my phone, my wife's phone will work. In any case I can always use the door key pad as the last resort.
