On February 15th, 2023 Hyundai released information regarding this security update through their public information officer. This software upgrade is a potential GAME CHANGER, as it relates to the numbers of Hyundai and Kia’s being stolen in our community. The software essentially deactivates the ignition once the vehicle is locked with a key fob. This ignition cannot be reactivated unless the key fob unlocks the car doors. This will prevent the popular ignition manipulation that is common with Hyundai and Kia thieves.
