    I was going off of something I vaguely remembered. But now my question is why the actual fuck was the key start system setup so badly.

      My understanding is it doesn’t actually verify the chip on some models and the mechanism to start happens to be roughly the same size and shape as a USB plug. They took a risk and now they’re paying for it with a full recall

      That’s a damn good question, when chip-keys were fairly common in the 90’s already.
