Blue car in the background is a facelifted fifth gen RAV4. Obvious from the shape of the mirrors and headlight. Toyota/Lexus would align with the "both brands" remark.

White one is harder to tell obviously, but the shape of the mirror looks the same, and you can see the top of the dash has a chamfered shape that looks an awful lot like this pic: https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/toyota/rav4/2022/oem/2022...

Posting a video demo probably isn't a great idea for this kind of thing. I'm sure some sicko could have figured this out just from the sound the locks make.

Keeping information under wraps just encourages more security theater, like people believing that locks actually work to deter skilled attackers, whatsoever. They really don't. They deter casual attackers at best.
