FYI...ANY system that permits external INPUT via ANY communication link (hard- or soft-wired) is susceptible to hacking. And, this is especially true of 'new' car technologies designed to enable the manufactures to 'listen' to vehicles as they're being driven for (supposedly) "engineering" analyses only (sure!)...because the SAME commands they use to 'test' subsystems (brakes, steering, ignition, lights, etc.) can be likewise "controlled" by a hacker. And, most car companies (currently) use NO security protection against "outside" takeover and control by hackers...all it's ALL done via satellite link!
