I don't think the car can be stolen- I'm certain that I read somewhere that if the key is removed from the cabin the transmission cannot be shifted from P.. I'm curious now.. I'll have to do a test this afternoon..

Tested- and my D5 (mechanical shifter..) can be stolen alright

Could be that I have read about joystick-style shifter cars (T8) that cannot be shifted out of park when key is not present..

Another interesting feature, if you turn on the engine via VOC application, then once you enter the car, you have to turn the start/stop knob to be able to take the gear shifter to the position you want, otherwise it is locked in Park.
