Yes. Vehicle Controls, Window Status, and individual Lock or Unlock controls store one selected vehicle per instance, so you can add another instance for a second car. Last Activity needs no vehicle selection because it shows the newest item from your BetterKey Activity history.
Lock and Unlock require iOS 18 or later, a supported connected vehicle, internet access, and an active Free Week or subscription when applicable. Check whether BetterKey supports Window Status for your vehicle on the compatibility page. If a supported control remains unavailable after setup, contact us and we will help resolve it.
The Owner’s Manual documents supported families, freshness, privacy, command behavior, and limitations for iPhone widgets and controls and Apple Watch complications.
