Why can we not have this kind of system for our Camaros?

First, I've seen some of your videos, and I JUST saw that video today. I really,
really hate thieves, man, but really happy they weren't able to run off with your Ram. Still, it is INSANE that you found bullet casings near your vehicle after they rummaged through all of your stuff. If you haven't already, you should definitely get a killswitch on your ZL1.

And no one else here should, either. Corporations like GM, Ford, and Stellantis DEFINITELY need to be held accountable for vulnerabilities in their software just like the rest.
Full disclosure: Both of the Red Hot 6th Gens you see in the article belong (and belonged) to me, and while GM could
at least patch their firmware, I'm also interested in how difficult it would be to implement a similar solution that ZLElvira is referring to with SiriusXM on his Ram truck. I wasn't aware that Stellantis and SirusXM had some sort of theft deterrence embedded in the infotainment system. Could you explain this a little more?
