From "Your car key is talking all night"

Put your car key to sleep. Make by make.

In the video I showed you the Toyota handshake. Your car does it differently. This is the page for your car: the exact steps, how to prove it worked at your own door handle, and where it's written in your manual.

What do you drive?

Pick your make. I'll tell you which kind of answer your car has, and which page of the book it's on.

Why this exists

"Ray, what's mine?"

A few thousand of you asked me that after the video. Fair question. I only showed one car.

Here's the truth nobody at the dealership tells you: some makes have a free button gesture, some have a switch in the dashboard menu, some keys go to sleep on their own, and some have no switch at all. Guess wrong, and you think you're protected when you're not.

You don't have to be impossible to steal from. You just have to be slower than the next car on the street.

— 35 years taught me that.

How the book works

Find your car. Do what it says. Prove it.

A gesture

Press a combination on the key and it stops answering until you press a button. Free, instant.

Sleeps on its own

Some newer keys go quiet when left still. Only some, so the book shows you how to check yours.

A switch

A menu on your dashboard turns off "grab the handle and it opens", for every key at once.

No switch

Then a metal tin or a tested pouch does the job, and the book shows you how to test it.

"Your car, on one page" + the night routine

One fill-in page with everything you'd need with your heart pounding: VIN, plate, insurer, how your key sleeps, where the spare lives. And the six-line night routine to tape inside the door you come in through.

Who's writing this

I'm the one who showed up the morning after.

I never caught a thief. For the last dozen years of my work, more and more of my calls weren't about doors at all: a driveway, no broken glass, a key still sitting in a bowl by the door.

No affiliate links, no gadgets to sell you. Most of what's in this book costs nothing. Where my page and your manual disagree, I tell you to follow your manual.

Questions

My make isn't on the list.

There's a page for "anything else" that shows you exactly what to look up in your owner's manual and your dashboard menu, and what to do if there's nothing there.

Will this work for my exact year?

Makers change these features between years and trims, so every page gives you the exact words to look up in your own manual, and the 30-second test proves it on your car. Where my page and your manual differ, your manual wins.

Do I need to buy anything?

Usually not. Many cars have a free gesture or switch. For the rest, an old metal tin with a tight lid is what I used for years.

I'm not good with technology.

That's who I wrote it for. Big type, one page, numbered steps. If you can press two buttons on your key, you can do this.

Is it a printed book?

No, it's a PDF you get by email right after paying. Read it on your phone, or print your car's page and keep it in the glovebox.

What if it doesn't help me?

Hotmart handles the payment and the 7-day guarantee. Ask in that window and you get your money back.
