The answer first
Tesla’s myQ integration is an in-vehicle service with its own eligibility and subscription—not proof that every car supports the same features.

A short linking path
Park safely. In the vehicle settings, open the garage control menu and choose Link myQ Account. Scan the displayed QR code with your phone and review the myQ linking/trial prompts. Confirm that the intended garage appears on the touchscreen.
Manual control before automatic behavior
The service advertises status, opening, closing, and geofenced automatic operation. Make manual control and accurate door identity your first checks. For automatic operation, use the current vehicle-specific instructions and verify the surroundings while stationary; follow the options documented for your current vehicle software.
Keep a record of the plan
Save the trial end date, account used, renewal setting and service provider in your own notes. Do not assume uninstalling an app changes billing. myQ’s subscription guidance identifies Marketplace as the management route for Tesla plans.
When it fails
Compare the phone and car separately. Can the authorized account see the garage in the phone app? Is the intended vehicle linked? Is the service entitlement active? Record the exact symptom instead of repeatedly issuing open or close commands.
Questions before you continue
Common questions
Is this the same as HomeLink?
Do not treat a myQ account-linked service as interchangeable with a separate vehicle remote-control system.
Should I enable automatic operation immediately?
No need. Understand and test ordinary controls first, and keep an authorized backup entry method.
