Has anyone considered this possibility?

I've never heard about the 150000 infected cars that they claim, and haven't found any refrence to them on the news. It's going to be interesting to see how manufactuers deal with this. What part of the computer system comunicates via the phone, only the Nav? If so is there any way that that could link to the ECU?

BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRIAD!!!!

Yes, it can happen. But you can turn Bluetooth off on almost anything, so if you own a Bluetooth vehicle and never use the wireless capabilities, turn it off.

There was a thread in chat a few weeks ago, read that for more (and better) info that doesn't border on scaring you into reading a s***ty article.
