This comes after e.g. the KeeLoq debacle: see http://dblp.mpi-inf.mpg.de/dblp-mirror/index.php?query=keeloq http://dblp.mpi-inf.mpg.de/dblp-mirror/index.php?query=keelo.... Summary: cryptographically securing remote car keys/garage openers is an improvement (older products just broadcast the password), but badly implementing outdated custom algorithms is... not as useful as the car industry seems to hope.

And we're not talking a thirty-year old Skoda here.
