Biometrics. My cheapie phone and pcs have finger and face recognition. I’m guessing these electronics are worth a buck or two.

Great until it decides you aren't you and you get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Chip keys were the answer but that requires a key.

Stay out of the Walmart parking lots in Brampton. That thing will be gone in 10 seconds.My anti theft device:
Or instead of a key, would you conveniencists accept a keycard?
A key card with an active chip, like your Canadian bank card, with the metal thing on the left end of a credit/debit card, is virtually unhackable (in realistic terms) because we can program a unique identifier, with a unique encryption algorithm in a unique hash on both ends, and then make it active... GOOD LUCK SCRIPT KIDDIES... but because it is active not passive, the whole setup is dead till it see's a correct hash... like your bank card works... but the card would have to be in the card reader (no wifi) for the truck to start.
You can can keep all your "conveniences", but you can turn them off by removing the card.
As an aside: re Right to Repair movement.
Broadly speaking, they're stealing late model cars is by rewriting the ECU's entry for the onboard security system, and adding THEIR system to the ECU, ECU is happy, car starts.
If you want your local shop to be able to diagnose and fix your late model car, get used to auto theft. The local shop needs the same access to the ECU as the thieves.
The system has to change.

Get a beige one - even safer.
Mine was red and black….so I guess more dangerous…

That was 10min from my son owning
I offered you first right of refusal….That was 10min from my son owning
Almost! I had it out with the sales manager and straightened that situation right out lol.
I know, Thanks for that kind gesture, was a mistake on my part for not jumping on the deal.
What did you end up getting for the kids?
No clue. I only know him in passing as our local PPC candidate. I saw his new Airstream trailer and didn’t know about the truck, but we were chatting about the trailer and the 10k parcels of land up north as he ‘wants to live off the land’ and that’s when he mentioned the truck theft and immobilized.Was it this TAG system? This is what insurance said would bring down my premiums when I got new ride last year:
