Looking at the prototype photo, it seems trivial to open the hood and remove the whole thing in a minute or so. Unless the plan is to have it somewhere way down there, and not simply sitting on top of the positive terminal.
The video says "alarms sound the when authenticator is removed", but that's a gimmick. They should be entirely disconnecting the whole negative terminal (duh), not just the wire to the device, leaving the whole car without power until the positive terminal is freed.
And if anyone bothers to ask what the thief is doing, they have a 100% plausible reply "got a parasitic drain, so I've put a cheap relay and now this crap is failing on me".
