For anyone who doesn’t want to dig through the article, they obfuscated the manufacturers and didn’t name them.

    Probably Hyundai/Kia since they already had a similar problem

    Worth noting that by the time Ghost Dog came out, those handheld unlock devices were already in use. Remote lock/start hasn't been a secure feature at any point. ☝🏼

  • The one he used in the movie (sorry, very minor spoiler) predates most of those. If memory serves, I first heard of keyless entry for cars in the mid-90s (late 80s for homes?) and it was maybe a year before cars were being boosted via roll-jam/clone handhelds— essentially phreakboxes.

    I say "most" as keyless entry/start features weren't widely offered, much less standard-ish until ~'00 and Ghost Dog came out in '99. I'm sure there are outliers, is all. 😉
