    It didn’t necessarily have to be a USB plug, that was just a convenient device because it was the right shape and size. A large flat screwdriver would work just as well.

      Yeah, it was just Kia cheaping out by not having an immobilizer. They saved at the very most $100 a car(probably more like $40) by skipping a basic security feature invented in 1985.
