I drive a Hyundai Accent with manual windows and doors.

No one is going to crack that but a guy with the right piece of plastic can still take down a window, get in, and steal the car. If someone wanted to murder me, they'd need physical access to the car to mess with it.

So...yeah. No situation is 100% safe or secure. However, pretty much anything wireless pretty much guarantees any criminal can just make a kit to do X and sell it to actual car thieves claiming he thought they were [legal profession like car repo].

Sort of like how people sell malware/"security tools" now. "Oh, I sold it to a criminal. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN?" :p
