A digital keypad and a phone based system would be best. Apps can be updated for security, and the cars firmware can be updated via the app too. The keypad means even if a purse is stolen with the phone and keys in it, you can still start your car.

The list is 3129 numbers, which if pressed in sequence, will eventually open the door because all of the possible code permutations are contained in that sequence.

My car has an optional subscription that would let me unlock it with my phone -- I didn't sign up for that subscription, but I bet that it's active on the car's side and if there's a remote vulnerability, it's exploitable whether I've signed up for it or not.
