Chrysler vehicles can be hacked
Extreme Tech ET is not always the most reliable of sources. I know that I have called them out on items which were away from their zone of expertize. But this is about computers which they do know ...

Yup...just a method to connect wirelessly
Like my home WiFi network for the printer, copier, fax, storage, etc...sourced
on my server/workstation...that...then connects to the router, which has both
WiFi and direct CAT5 (ethernet) to the modem, which is then connected to the
Cable Company's fiberoptic line to the house...which is then routed to what
ever...TV/On-Demand/Internet/Etc...
Noodle this...with the 'new' to our trucks (been on lux cars for years) keyless
fobs...that is a wireless connection to the vehicle computer system. Could
be the mother board, but most likely a wireless transponder of some standard.
Maybe not an industry standard (IEEE), but wireless with some sort of
security overlay.
Best are base code with rotating numeric/alpha characters. Get enough of them
for 'that one' vehicle and you can crack the base code (or key for the
rest of the numbers/alpha's)
Anyone remember the humongo issue with digital picture frames made in China?
Loaded with worms, viruses, etc...that infected whatever you used to connect
and down load images into the picture frame memory...
Ditto potential for tuners, diagnostics and an after market gizmo that interconnects
with the vehicle network...
