I'm just saying that if the entertainment center is a full member of the CAN
bus it will always be an entry point for hackers. As long as theres an entry
point there will always be hacks. Any network open to the internet will be
hacked at some point, this has already been pretty well proven.
The entertainment center knows when the car is on because it has power. It can
know where it is because of its own GPS or the GPS in your phone and it can
have its own buttons and spot in the cluster on a bus other than the one
responsible for the rest of the car. This is an issue of basic safety.
If you look at fire alarm systems NO PART of a commercial fire alarm may touch
ANY other system in the building (or at least that was true when I stopped
being a Fire Alarm Videographer in 2001. It was a basic safety precaution...

Curt, how do you expect the entertainment system to known when the car is
on, where it is, display messages in the instrument cluster, and respond to
button presses if it's not connected to a CAN bus?
Let's not loose focus on where the issues were here... No need to attack
basic and proven technologies.
