Once locked with the key fob, a Hyundai with the software upgrade will not start until it is unlocked. “The software acts as an ignition kill,” Gabriel says. “The method that everybody’s been sharing on social media, how to break in and do crimes with the vehicle, it’ll essentially render that impossible.

Over the past five years, auto theft has risen 62% in Colorado, with 32,976 vehicles reported stolen in 2023 alone, according to a March 22 press release from the Colorado State Patrol. Schepman is hopeful that anti-theft upgrades for high-risk cars like Hyundais will further decrease auto thefts in Denver. “It’s kind of a call to action for people who own these types of vehicles to get this software patch to prevent the auto theft in the first place. Prevention is key,” Schepman says. “We are hoping that hundreds, if not more than a thousand, people bring their cars out and take advantage of this free event.
