tbh i dont know whats the fascination behind keyless: Wouldn't have cost much for BMW to hire a hacker and patch this vulnerability, but its BMW! (and the car makers who support such tech)
probably yep. Also installing an aftermarket gps connected to ignition could have helped avoid this: the gps would warn the owner of the car unexpected movement but also would shutdown the car when it leaves a predetermined area set by the owner
Sounds nice until you realize BMW will sell this as a monthly subscription.
