Per KIA

"In addition to this ignition cylinder protector, Kia has also designed a software upgrade that further enhances a vehicle’s security by restricting the operation of a vehicle’s ignition system should a potential criminal attempt to steal a locked vehicle without the key,"

So, there you have it. A software upgrade!
Kia thefts have been reported locally by owners after the software update. I see other similar reports on the internet. It would seem that the software update hasn’t resolved the problem after all.
