HomeLink

If you do set your homelink and it is continuously active like a "clicker" one little tip is a good one to use. When you use navigation do not set your HOME to your actual home or neighborhood. Set it to a business (police station) that is outside of your community but once you get there you know how to go. Then if someone steals your car, they cannot just open your garage or drive the neighborhood pressing the homelink to see what house it works.

Gotcha. I use the app (when I remember it). I primarily use it when I'm away to make sure the door is closed. I went out of town one day and forgot to close the door when we left. The neighbor found it open and called me. He closed it for me and I got the app then. Comes in handy.
Our favorite part of the app is where you can schedule it to close the door if you forget. Every once in a while at 9:00pm it alerts us that the door was open and it closed it for us. For those reading this with an older door wishing you had this - the make a stand alone module that you can attach to any door. It will work as long as it has access to Wi-Fi.

Ideally, I'd love to see an option for Homelink to turn off after a short time after shutting the car down.

I actually have smart routines on my garage door as well. If I lock my entry door, it will auto close my garage doors. So there is no need to forget. My entry to the house door, would auto lock after 10 mins of the door closed. So the whole process will ensure my entry door to the house is always locked, the garage doors are always closed. At most it will be open for 11 mins of forgetting.
