How to sync HomeKit with Apple CarPlay for garage access?

Linked my bridge to Home Kit and I'm able to open my garage door via Apple Car play. The issue is with my wife she is not able to open the garage via her Apple Car Play. Her Home Kit is exactly like mine with Control Accessories Remotely on, able to add and edit accessories but the garage door button does not show up on her Car Play.

CarPlay wireless setup on a Honda CRV I have a new Honda CRV-EXL with wireless CarPlay. But I am having trouble setting CarPlay up. Have read instructions in the owners manual and from Apple (the former starts with the car, the latter with the phone). But neither tells me whether I can set up CarPlay and then easily alternate using it with the car's regular Bluetooth / phone connections. When I go to set it up via the car, when I check a box for CarPlay, it unchecks the car's Bluetooth and phone. So, it appears that they are mutually exclusive--if I want to use CarPlay, I have to stick with that and vice versa. Instructions for starting with the phone seem to indicate the same thing. What I want is an app or a box for CarPlay in my car, so that if I want it, I can turn it on. If I don't, I just turn it off and use regular Bluetooth and phone from the car. That's how most computer things work. If I can't set it up that way, then I will just skip CarPlay as, in the past, I have rarely used it anyway. (But the CarPlay nav from the phone might be useful sometimes.) So, does anyone know if I can set it up this way--so that both are available and I can go back and forth with CarPlay as I would with other apps? Or if I set up CarPlay do I have to run everything through it?
