As you might notice, our cars nowadays are usually equipped with advanced technology, wireless accepted signal, and satellite radio, and computer commanded power lock, or automated start - up system etc..... All these technology also come with a lot of headaches when there comes a smart thief, like a hacker. More or less, now our advanced cars always associated with cellular network. So, when a text message command can also unlock the car, or automatically start a car itself. Amazing, isn't it? There were cases done by those smart engineer, that a simple text message encrypted with command, can unlock a car. Such defects would attracts a lot of hackers target on those advanced cars. For me, I can't afford such car myself yet, so I just go with those old fashion cars.

hi,
very nice idea having that car encrypted with new technology,because we can highly secure our car,but as you said smart hackers can get those cars using only their mind and knowledge about technology and systems,so still we need to secure it in all aspect we know.

I know what you mean. Everything seems to cost alot of money these days. My car is 11 years old now. It could use a new paint job but overall it is in really good shape.
