Easy additional security?
So I just read a story in The Guardian about how easy it is for thieves to steal modern luxury vehicles. It seems simply having a battery in your keyfob leaves you vulnerable to scanners who can use the discovered codes to steal our rides. I’m not worried too much as we avoid urban areas like the plague, but…
Are there any easy ways to increase security in our 2020 GLC300? We did not get KEYLESS-GO or the available security sensors such as vehicle attitude, we have only our two keyfobs. Any way to require a PIN input for ignition?

Found a similar article on this topic myself, which had probably the best advice I've seen to stop modern car thieves:
"And while there are sophisticated alarms and tracking devices, Del Toro says don’t bother.
Steering wheel locks go a long way towards thwarting thieves he says. They sell for around $30."
