Trading in my Kia for a new (non Hyundai/Kia) car so I can stop being stressed of coming out to an empty parking spot in the morning.
Do you have a club?
Yup. Also had the security update done. The club is honestly a little more effective as it’s a visual deterrent, as thieves won’t know of the security update until they’ve already broken in. On the other hand, it’s a visual confirmation as well that your car is susceptible.
The new ones (post like ‘18 or ‘19) don’t have that issue I thought? You don’t see reports of Tellurides being stolen, it’s all 2010 forte shitboxes
Some of the 2020 and 2021 base models (key ignition) are still affected. It's only on the 2022+ models where all trims have immobilizers as standard. Really dumb move by Hyundai/Kia to save a couple of bucks per vehicle. I otherwise love my car, but this issue and the "solution" they put out made sure I will never buy from them again.
