Interesting article I read today...

http://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

They found an exploit though the Uconnect that enables control over a lot of vehicle functions (like disabling brakes). Maybe manufacturers should stop looking for ways to turn your car into a smartphone. :naw:

"seems to work on any Chrysler vehicle with Uconnect from late 2013, all of 2014, and early 2015."

Looks like theres a patch at least. for now

wow, that's scary. I have two vehicles that can be controlled by someone other than me? guess I better get the patch.
