OAK
BROOK, Ill., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chamberlain Group (CG), global
leader in intelligent access and Blackstone portfolio company,
was named a finalist in the 2023-2024 Automotive News PACE Award
program for its vehicle-embedded, myQ Connected Garage solution.
The PACE Awards celebrate innovation and technological advancement
among automotive suppliers and vehicle manufacturers and are
well-recognized for identifying game-changers in the automotive
industry. Being named a finalist, particularly for a first-time
entry, is a testimony to Chamberlain Group's ability to stand out
and to reimagine garage access technology for today's drivers.
"For 29 years, the PACE program has celebrated cutting-edge
innovations that have shaped the automotive industry on a global
level," said Jamie Butters,
executive editor of Automotive News. "The companies on
this year's list have pioneered significant technologies that will
continue to propel the industry forward."
The myQ Connected Garage is transformative cloud technology
that enables drivers to control and monitor their garage door
opener and other connected devices remotely using their vehicle's
infotainment head unit and built-in connectivity. It's a
cloud-based solution that does not require any hardware
installation within the vehicle or manual programming. Drivers can
check the real-time status of their garage door, and remotely open
and close their garage door conveniently from their car's
touchscreen, from anywhere. Geofence technology also gives users
the power to automatically open and close the garage door as they
approach and drive away.
Since its launch, myQ Connected Garage has integrated with
Tesla, Honda, Acura, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, and
was adopted by nearly two-hundred thousand users in its first nine
months on the market. The service works seamlessly with leading
smart garage door openers on the market 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 is an honor to have our auto innovation named an Automotive
News PACE Award finalist," said Jim
Trainor, Senior Vice President & General Manager of
Automotive Business, Chamberlain Group. "Transforming what was
traditionally a hardware-based solution for vehicles into a fully
cloud based experience has significantly enhanced the user
experience for drivers, providing an effortless way to access the
garage. Being nominated is a confirmation of our team's hard work
and continuous efforts to expand the value we bring to OEMs and end
users with game changing technology."
myQ Connected Garage also works with myQ compatible gates,
locks, and doors. For more information about myQ Connected Garage,
