    Even worse is that their recall only disables starting if you lock it with the fob. You can program a cheap fob if you can turn the ignition switch. It would take an extra 30 seconds or so if you knew what to do.

      Hyundai program that can add keys to car- free if you pirate it. Used work laptop for work outside- 150$. Adapter for hyundai program to connect to car- 30$. Cheap key from china- 12$. New car~ 35,000$

      Id say thats a great proffit and compared to other brands hyundai and kias learn keys very fast, you can get pin from vin the day before heist, or read from car in about 10-15s. Than you add key by turning the ignition and drive away.
