66% of car thefts in Milwaukee are Hyundai/Kia.

[Blinker]

simply not true, immobilizers were available for all car models sold in Canada, Kia/Hyundia consciously chose NOT to install them on cars sold in the US, a "business decision"

the "security kit" now being offered by Hyundia/Kia as a costly upgrade is the immobilizer system that was legally mandatory since 2007 in Canada

In the U.S. the immobilizer was unavailable. For whatever reason.

Because it wasn't required like it was in Canada. Cost savings measure.
