It’s not like keys were some kind of uber-security, either. In fact, I think their shitty electronic security is actually an improvement.

Jimmying a lock is a lot more skill and effort than vaguely waving a device in the general vicinity of a car.

  Not really. A lot of those locks were breakable by jamming a screw driver in.

I’ma be honest, a wedge, a puffy bag, and a fancy stick is like $20 at every auto store and works just as well on those fancy doors as it does on keyed ones. If someone wants in they’ll get in.

At least the electronic ones ostensibly can’t be hotwired though, supposedly. Not sure how much I believe that though.
