Totally different kind of theft, here they are using a knock-off gameboy console which rolls the key codes and unlocks the car in seconds, they then disable bluelink via the sos button in the car (pull it out, short or cut the two wires) to prevent you from finding your car and drive off.
No key or cloning required, so rfid pouches etc useless. They just select the car model on the gameboy screen and press start, a few seconds later it unlocks and will start as it thinks the gameboy is the valid key.
Company selling the gameboys with the software preloaded on EBay for £15000. Cheap after a very simple theft or two of your £50k motor. All Kia/Hyundai are vulnerable to the gameboy, but so far they have been after the Ionia 5 either for parts or overseas shipping.
There is an article in the MyLondon news about it and a long thread with videos on Speak EV. It’s certainly put me off from getting another Kia or Hyundai until they manage to fix this.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
