From http://thehackernews.com/2015/07/car-hacking-jeep.html

2013-2015 MY Dodge Viper specialty vehicles
2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups
2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 Chassis Cabs
2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs
2014-2015 Dodge Durango SUVs 2015 MY Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans
2015 Dodge Challenger Sports coupes

Edit: I watched the Script Your Car video again and learned some new things.

In a non-OBDII RV, like a cedar cabin on an old log truck or even a 'tiny house', rather than plug in an old PC; you could get a VAG CAN bus controller for 200(euros? plus a daughtercard upgrade and added USB port) and have a CPU from a Nokia smart phone and another CPU from an Android tablet running Linux in OEM-grade automotive components. He demonstrates this running on the podium from a regulated 12v power supply—3G, Wi-fi hotspot, audio streaming over Bluetooth, voice synthesis and recognition, &etc.

The CAN bus controller runs Linux, but they never delivered the source code with the car—a clear violation of the GPL. Lots of hacker mirth at that.

There's a lot about the BAP (display controller) and something called D-Bus I still don't get.
