I haven't watch the video (because YouTube) but knowing how easy it is to unlock modern cars with the right tools, namely https://www.404media.co/inside-the-underground-trade-of-flipper-zero-tech-to-break-into-cars/ and knowing ICE does both have a budget and a "license" not to care for the lawful process I can definitely imagine them doing it.

TL;DR: definitely feasible, no idea if actually done.

Would not be surprised considering the scandals I heard about with other car clickers. Then again demanding backdoors into stuff can directly lead to those scandals who knows which came first
