Its absurd that the entertainment center is part of the CAN bus, 
that's a clear security violation from the start. As long as that's 
the case the system will never be secure.

That was my initial thought too, but it is also used for GPS, etc, so 
has to have the connectivity to allow the GPS, Onstar etc to work.

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.
