Default Can I use the garage door opener for something else?

I don't have a garage....and therefore no garage door to open. I use just about every feature I can find on this car (this car is soooo cool, nearly 10k on it and I still feel like there's stuff I haven't used) and I would like to use the garage door opener for something.

Any ideas ? Can I use it to turn on house lights with some x10 gadget or something?

Sure can, just have to buy something to connect it to the house. It also works for gates.

Am I understanding this correctly?
I could purchase a Home Controller and a Lamp module and be able to turn a light on in my house from my TCH??

Wait...I need the complete Homelink Lighting Kit for 59.99.
WOW! Another gadget!!!

You're right. It is last century but it does give me a use for the buttons in my new car!

I'm just kidding... but I find it funny when people discover something "new." That's all.
