Anything can be made to work with an app, this one ties into the signal wire that you activate to open the door from the inside, I have one, long press the phone button on the steering wheel, say a phrase, say the pin number and your door rolls up before you hit the driveway.

Change the code, isn't hard to do. In the future, rather than give the code, use the app to remote open the door.

Easy to change the code. Also it may have the ability to have a guest code that expires with x number of uses or in x hours.

Always wanted to ditch the bifold, but I have to carry so many cards I don't think they'll fit in these.

I've got a Ridge. Takes some getting used to, but once you get a defined order of your cards in the wallet, it's quick to rip them out and put back in pretty easily. I have always kept my wallet in a front pocket, so the smaller wallet is good company for keys and whatnot. Almost a year with it now - great!

Not huge on hard wallets, prefer just a nice leather moneyclip style. My current is getting a little worn as of lately, debating this one. https://andar.com/products/the-apoll...hoCsmgQAvD_BwE

SmartMouth mouthwash helps a lot more than anything else I have tried... also coffee really takes the taste/smell away from my experience.

I do hate the taste when I smoke at night and wake up in the AM, even with brushing and whatnot. Morning cigars are where it is at for me lately. A nice Connecticut with a coffee is hard to beat.

As for wallets - I have been carrying the same Louis Vuitton bifold for about 13 years now. Still going strong and I still really like it, don't see myself changing anytime.

Since my X3 doesn't have wireless charging, this is the next best thing. Apple CarPlay consumes a lot of battery...this helps! Anker Magnetic Charger for the curious ones...

You'd likely be happier with a 12v option, it will be lighter and smaller than even that.

Another thing to add to my list of things I didn't know I needed!

We've been in our current house for 9 years and have Schlage keyless locks on the exterior door. We have a friend of our daughter watching the house and the pets this weekend and I set her up a code for the door.

My wife and I were talking, the house keeper has her own code, over the last 9 years she's likely had 20 people use her code. Our dog walker in the last 5 years has had about 10 people walk the dog using her code, The basement door, the oil company and the AC guy have codes, Who knows how many different people they've used (although I turn their access off unless I know they're coming), the generator guy has a code so he can get to the breaker panels

And how many of my kids' friends have seen tham enter their codes?

I reset everyone's code to new numbers this week. It's surprised us how many people had access to the house

Did the same to the garage entrance. You are right it’s scary.

That's crazy and honestly great at the same time that you have that many people that you can trust. The girlfriend has a code/opener for my house, the kids have a code and my best friend has one.

My reference to changing my luggage combination was a Mel Brooks joke from Space Balls.
