    That’s not true. The paired parts are attached to the VIN. Literally programmed with the VIN of the car and a lot of them are single use for specifically this reason. You don’t know and you’re very insistent.

      You can get whatever paired modules with a paired key from a wrecked car and plug them into a different car and start it.

        You can’t. That’s the point. Once those parts are configured to a vin they only work with that vin.

      I guarantee you that the paired parts can and will be swapped out or stolen. It does nothing to protect consumers. Give me an example of a manufacturer who uses paired parts and I’ll find examples of thefts, hacks, and replacements.
