Are insurers refusing all Kia/Hyundai or just the affected ones?

None of the push to start ones are affected, only the base model key operated ones because they didn’t install immobilizers on them.

My wife has an affected model, but a push to start version. Getting insurance was fine. They did call to verify that it was the push to start before they finalized the policy, though.
