1. A method for remotely configuring detection of a vehicle in a secured area for housing the vehicle, the method comprising:

  • wirelessly coupling a vehicle computing device to a movable barrier operator, the movable barrier operator being operatively coupled to a sensor disposed in the secured area and configured to detect the vehicle;

    displaying a configurable sensor setting on a display of the vehicle computing device, the configurable sensor setting including at least one of the group consisting of;

    a detection sensitivity, a detection duration, a threshold distance, a rate of approach, a detection rate when idle, a detection rate when active, a threshold distance for an active state, modes of operation, and a detection area;

    receiving by the vehicle computing device a user input indicating a change to the configurable sensor setting;

    communicating the change to the configurable sensor setting from the vehicle computing device to the sensor via the movable barrier operator; and

    causing the change to the configurable sensor setting to be saved at the sensor.
