Maybe not here but at least in my city there are plenty of Hyundai/Kia thieves around. Thefts were up 10-fold last year as the Korean mfg'd cars are extremely easy to hotwire and steal, for those scum inclined to do such things. Even for the limited Korean cars with engine immobilizers owners are reporting 1000s of dollars of damage due to idiot thieves breaking the windows and steering columns trying to hotwire them only to quit in frustration.LeftieBiker said:Any car thieves here...?

You are both basically correct.knightmb said:Toby said:Is there no electronic safety built in to prevent one doing that?
There is, no one is sure what the max speed is though. I don't know anyone that wants to volunteer test it either. :?

I have (accidentally) engaged park at a few miles per hour; I have also been told that it ignores that command > 10 miles/hour (or so).
Not going to test again.

If I'm shifting into N to coast for more energy savings (and subsequently shift into D/B more often), there is a chance I might accidently hit that P button in the middle of the shifter joystick unintentionally.
How hard would it be to disable the P button and re-route it somewhere else?
