So easy to fix...

This device has no reason what so ever to be transmitting on the CAN bus and the transceiver should be configured so that it is impossible for it to do so:

1) This would prevent it corrupting the bus if the device where to go faulty (which can also lead to undesirable behaviour);

2) It would be unable to change anything within the vehicle systems.
