I’m guessing Kia’s are easy to steal or something.

So easy in fact that some insurance companies won’t even open new policies on certain kias.

You can start a Kia with a program downloaded onto a USB stick. There was a Tiktok video that showed how to do it, it went viral, and now kids can basically pick and choose any Kia on the road and drive off with it.

It’s not a program on a USB stick, it’s literally just the USB port. They’re breaking off the outer keyed part of the ignition. The remaining piece has a metal tab that a USB port conveniently slips over, allowing you to turn the ignition without a key.

Why some Hyundai and Kia cars are easy prey for car thieves

TL;DR they tried to save like ten dollars by cutting corners and not having an immobilizer
