I just got the IQ3 Pro setup and installed it over the last weekend. I ran across an issue where the Android Tailwind Widget and Android Auto systems were not displaying any items. What I found is that if you go to App Settings there is an option to set device for access via widget. Even though my home is already selected, I still selected it again and then the widget and Android Auto started working.

  I appreciate the post. I just installed Tailwind for my garage doors as I don't like to use a door opener because I park in a public area during the day. I always thought it was crazy that Chamberlain never had Android Auto integration and I didn't like pulling my phone out of my pocket to access the app. The idea that I could get access to my doors via Android Auto is what sold be on this, but I've had the "No Items" showing up, until I pull out my phone and open it, then they appear on the car screen. Somewhat defeating the purpose of getting this. I wasn't having the issue with the phone widget, but I'll go back through this process and see if it helps with Android Auto when I get home. I can at least open via Google voice commands, but I'd rather just touch a couple icons.

  Well, I tried this process. I still don't get any displayed items in Android Auto to choose from. The widget seemed to always work on my phone and still does.
