It may be a Toyota-only exploit.
The RCZ, the 407, the C2? The oldies aren't computerised and fitted with immobilisers.
I think the CX is as safe as a set of C5 wheels.
The thief gets more sophisticated. There is always a hacker more motivated to crack the system than designers trying to prevent it. If and when the self driving cars arrive, Can can see cars getting stolen remotely.Now what does the thief do in the future?
