Hopefully somebody will have a HOWTO up to help you disabling that pesky open bluetooth and wifi AP built into your car, so as to prevent rogue haxx0ring of your preciouses car...

I would do that, just have a toggle switch to enable bluetooth/wifi before it goes in for a service (as the workshop may need access to that in order to run diagnostics etc) then disable it as soon as I get the car back. Should said workshop not need access to bluetooth or wifi, then it stays off forever.

Or even a piece of tinfoil strategically placed...

Will have to wait and see... I'm not looking forward to have a vulnerable car.
