Ran across a most interesting article about vehicle computer systems being hacked into and the hacker being able to control certain vehicle functions. At first I said, Naah. But then I took a look at the wiring diagrams for our Gen 4 vehicles and realized it is indeed possible via the Uconnect devices as they connect directly into the computers data buss. Then I got to thinking about OnStar, remote starting systems, and even the key fobs that have replaced an ignition key for a number of vehicles. It is indeed possible for someone to hack into any vehicle with a CANBUSS, but some may be easier than others.
