Abstract
A remotely controlled electrical accessory system for starting an engine of a vehicle and actuating a garage door opener attached to a garage door. The system includes a first transmitter for producing an engine ignition signal and a second transmitter for producing a garage door opener actuation signal. A receiver starts the engine of the vehicle and energizes the second transmitter to produce the garage door opener actuation signal in response to the engine ignition signal. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a proximity sensor attached to the vehicle for producing a gating signal in response to a closed garage door. Preferably, the receiver starts the engine of the vehicle in response to the engine ignition signal and energizes the second transmitter to produce the garage door opener actuation signal in response to the engine ignition signal and the gating signal.
