I see that sunni locked my thread. Does anyone know why it got locked?

I dunno if theft is a big issue around here, is there a systemic issue? It is one of those keyless things and it will probably take me a half hour to figure out how to turn the headlights on! It does have Harmon Kardon speakers though...

It seems you answered your own question in your first sentence so it would make sense to ask her not ‘anyone’. Probably cause it sucked.
I mean I said why in the thread

Just looked, a simple kill switch under the drivers seat should do the trick, but this one does have an alarm. Figuring out how to wire it in would be the challenge!
It is an issue USA wide
despite it being keyless though you’ll still have people who think it CAN or maybe stolen just because it’s a Kia
So you’ll have broken windows
look upKia boys it’s a huge thing all over the USA
The main issue with it is Kia and Hyundai just don’t give a flying fick
They literally refuse to do anything about it and 13 year old kids are stealing cars witha. USB stick
expect a large class action lawsuit
many Kia parts can’t even be found people arewaiting 6+ plus for just basic windows etc for their kias
I just wouldn’t recommend one given their current issues
They’re kids though who are doing it so they’re stupid
They won’t know it’s not an easy steal until they smash your windows in
it’s just not worth it imho
Thehre taking them to joyride not to actually do anything for parts so they just destroy them
you’re taking a large chance but maybein 2 years it’ll be over

I'll look into it, but there are not that many kids around this area in semi rural Nova Scotia, but I'll have a look online about local incidents, perhaps in Halifax almost 300 miles away from here on Cape Breton Island. I will also inquire about parts availability when I talk to the dealer. Thanks for the heads up

Looks like I'm covered by responsible government!
'Kia Boyz': U.S. Kia, Hyundai cars stolen for TikTok trend
Canadian Kia and Hyundai vehicles are required to have 'immobilizers', making the "challenge" impossible in this country
If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen headlines in your Canadian city, it’s because Canada made the anti-theft immobilizers a requirement in all vehicles in 2007.
U.S. owners are not so lucky. “It is unfortunate that criminals are using social media to target vehicles without engine immobilizers in a coordinated effort,” a Kia spokesperson told CNBC.
Oh shut I forgot you’re Canadian my bad disregardLooks like I'm covered by responsible government!

It's not KIA that doesn't give a fuck about you, it is the government!
Their stance is horrible though they’re leaving to theft and violence and many of the kids can’t actually drive so a few have died doing itIt's not KIA that doesn't give a fuck about you, it is the government!
They claim they haven’t don’t anything wrong imho if a 13 year old can take your cars with a usb cord in under 2 mins but no other key cars you did something wrong
they Kia claim no fault but lawsuits are saying otherwise

They will use Canadian law as an example of how they can comply easily. I had a look and KIA is not even in the top ten stolen cars here and most thefts are in Ontario. So it's a question of governments making them do it or insurance companies making them.
