Nothing to do with immobilizers: that was a separate issue that was apparently fixed in 2021.

It’s a wireless attack that affects late model cars with proximity-based keyfobs (ie: ones that do not require a button to be pressed on the fob for the car to detect it), including 2022 and 2023 models such as the Ioniq 5 EV:

All countries seem to be affected, not just US models.




I guarantee you that issue was not fixed for everyone in 2021, looking at my car without a software update. :)


Yeah, fixed in new cars from 2021 onwards I mean.


Ah, I’m sorry! I understand now!
