Open the Shortcuts app and find the BetterKey shortcut you want to use (like Lock my car or Unlock my car).
Duplicate it (tap and hold, then choose Duplicate).
In the copy, tap the Vehicle field and select your car.
Make sure your car's name shows up in the shortcut - if it does, you're good!
Head over to Automations, set your schedule, and pick Run Shortcut - then choose the shortcut you just made.
