    I don't like any of this stuff. I already have to worry about someone stealing my car by boosting the fob signal. It's new enough to have one and old enough that no fixes will be released. :(

    Don't try to fix something that isn't broken. And I just recently read about how easy it is to hack Bluetooth.

    Convenience over security is saturating everything we use.
