HomeLink(R) Wireless Control System from Johnson Controls Offers New Benefits for Consumers - Faster, Easier Device 'Training'
Largest supplier of vehicle interiors leverages its investment in QuickTrain technology
DETROIT, Jan. 11- Johnson Controls' (NYSE:JCI) HomeLink(R) Wireless Control System -- which is installed in millions of cars, trucks and minivans -- is now easier and faster to "train" for customized use.
This advancement to the HomeLink system has been enabled through an investment in access-control industry technology that enables and supports the all-new QuickTrain feature available only through Johnson Controls.
Integrated into a vehicle's overhead console, sun visor or rear-view mirror, the HomeLink system can be used to remotely operate garage doors, estate gates, locks, home security and lighting systems, and other convenience and safety devices. HomeLink has become increasingly popular with auto dealers and consumers because of its outstanding security, efficiency and convenience features.
With the addition of QuickTrain technology, training the HomeLink module is not only much easier, but it also takes less time to train the device.
The HomeLink system is among the innovations featured at the Johnson Controls product and technology exhibit at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The company's display, in room D2-15 of Detroit's Cobo Center, will be open during media days at the event.
"Our investment in QuickTrain technology is another example of our commitment to expanding the ease and functionality of the HomeLink system," said Jim Geschke, vice president and general manager of electronics integration for the Automotive Group of Johnson Controls. "Benefiting from new technology and our business relationships with industry leaders, the HomeLink system will continue to offer consumers added security and convenience."
