They aren't cheap but I'm sure that is to deter people from buying
them for criminal purposes rather than a true reflection of their
actual manufacturing cost.

On a car a normal key lock will work just as well with a big screw
driver hammered in and twisted... The electronic link makes it harder

My car only unlocks the drivers door on the first zap, it requires a
second zap to open all the others. Everything locks when you zap to
lock and if it doesn't like something, door not closed properly, the
horn honks once.
I like being able to lock/unlock/check the car without having to go
out into the wind, rain or snow...
