This can be done with the OBDKey USB, Bluetooth and WiFi units. (http://www.obdkey.com)

i mean odbc has been there since sometime ninetees(?) and from the very beginning always been "used" by thieves to disable car alarms and immobiliser systems. big news, guys. LOL.

This is akin to the old (movie) trick of punturing a brake hose.

Harden the software/communication protocols, you will still be vulnerable to it, and crooks will still be able to design/manufacture a "special tool" for perfectly puncturing a hose.

When evaluating technology, Id consider jacking your car kind of a moot point w/the Government due to the tanks, bombs, machine guns, jet fighters and endless amount of idiots who want to use them on whomever they tell them too.

It's OnBoard Diagnostics, not Ol' Dirty Bastard.

It's fairly well written, easy to read (not full of jargon) and very eye-opening. The first few pages are pretty boring but after that I couldn't put it down. Well worth a read!

There are OBD2 bluetooth adapters. I could just plug it into your car, challenge you to a race and kill you in a driveby ;-)

You can *claim* those measures are for *your* good, but have the possibility at least of making it easy for the government to make you an "unperson" with the click of a mouse on the "no drive" list.

When evaluating any technology, just think what your worst enemy would do with it, and remember that government IS your worst enemy.
