    Yup, my Canadian 2020 Elantra with turn key ignition is chipped. I’m always worried when I go to the US that someone is gonna pop the window, rip off the steering wheel cover and try to turn the barrel just to realize that it’s chipped, then proceed to destroy my interior in a fit of rage because they couldn’t steal the car.
