WAINK

A phone app for car thieves: it scans a parked car and shows its value, locks, alarm and tracker.

What we know

IGN describes WAINK as an app that scans parked cars and shows what each one is worth and how it is protected: the locks, the alarm and whether it has a tracker. That tells you which car is worth stealing before you touch it.

Car theft in GTA 6 has more steps than before: key cloners and trackers are part of it, and stolen cars can be sold. How the app gets onto Jason and Lucia’s phones hasn’t been shown.
