They don't show anything. But it's likely just a signal they sent.
If you really are that worried about it you can rip out the system for the keyless entry.

What isn’t hackable these days? Anything that has an RF signal or an IP address is susceptible to some sort of attack. The more people want convenience, or connected stuff (smart, IoT), comes with some added risk.
I have a friend that puts his Lexus key fob in tin foil to protect himself lol… I just made sure I have good theft insurance.

It's just an RF signal for the keyless entry, nothing new here
[didnt watch the video, but....]
Bad guy sits in the parking lot near your car. they intercept the signal when you open the car. The signal value changes so this is a limited time exploit, but they follow you to the next store or your home and they blast the signal in the hopes it unlocks the car.
OR
Bad guy sits in the parking waiting for a car. They intercept the signal when lock the car. The signal value changes so this is a limited time exploit, but as soon as you are out of sight, they blast the signal in the hopes it unlocks the car.
This has been around for quite some time and isn't all that complicated or expensive. It's also easier to drive up with a tow truck and yank the car. Or to smash the window and grab the purse/laptop. Depending on the socio-economic level of the perp.
EDIT:
Watched the video now.. and yeah.. only shows a small fraction of the story, but what I said earlier.....
