How much money they could have possibly saved, considering that anyway they keys have the electronics for the remote control?
$3 per car?
in 1997 i bought a fiat panda for 5000 euro (new, was the most barebone car sold in western countries for the last 4 decades) and it came with the immobilizer on the key. If it came free in a car that in 1997 was so barebone that they glued the back windows instead of allowing passengers to breathe (no AC), how 2 decades later can be considered an expensive premium feature?
Couldn't they offer this as a $300 optional feature that everyone would buy?
Pretty sure they fixed it, but if your car is more than a year old, then this still works.
