Nobody in the team is old enough to tell them not to name the system after a villain car... https://youtu.be/CWCTEL-PA08

You pay extra for an anti-theft system, turns out it is an unintentional theft system.

Very misleading title - it’s an aftermarket security system sold across the U.S., but apparently especially in southern California. The current title incredibly strongly makes it sound like any car bought in California can be hacked (presumably due to some California requirement, which does not actually exist). Better title would be something like “2M car security systems hackable”
