    I know that it was uncommon to have encryption but, newer car are starting to have this feature. Many many RAV4 got stolen and all they had to do was to hack the car by plugging into the headlight wires.

    Better than having to say goodbye to your car when some kids steal your car with a 300$ hacking tool?
