Default Need hack for scheduled auto locking

I repeatedly fail to lock my truck and several times I have regretted it the next day when I find that my truck has been rifled through and things are stolen. I would like to be able to program the locks to auto lock at 10pm every night. Anyone have any ideas?

nothing out there to do this. Even the Smart link can not auto lock vehicles

The question isn't if you can remember. The question is if you are smart enough to go in one time and schedule a recurring alarm that goes off at 10 pm for perpetuity.

I lock my doors every single time I get out of the truck. Right as I start to walk away. Now it's almost pure muscle memory that I don't even need to think about doing it. I just do.

Set the Alarm on your phone to go off at 10 PM every night, phone alarm goes off get up and lock your truck, or since you have been cleaned out as couple times don't leave anything in the truck. Or just remember to hit the button 2 times to hear your horn beep and be done with it.

Aftermarket alarm system set to passive arming will do what you want. It sounds like you need an alarm system anyway.

Same. Lock button is directly underneath the door handle, I just automatically lock it, basically one motion in between pulling handle and pushing the door open.
