Rinse, Repat

As we know, Mitsu is not the only OEM with this issue. ANY vehicle with CAN bus is a target. I am a stones throw from Toyota, Honda, (Torrance) Mitsu (Cypress) Hyundai and KIA, all with issues. The latest cool thing is starting your vehicle remotely. Not only is this dangerous, but in California it is against the law to leave a vehicle running without direct supervision.

I am still nonplussed about the technology people continue to immerse themselves in, only to find out they are a target. And this is only the beginning gang. Wait until they try to widely incorporate driver-less vehicles.
