Honda Introduces 2016 Accord With CarPlay and Android Auto Support

How hackable is the car, though? I'm thinking that apart from Tesla's, I'm going to stick with cars which are made pre-2010 or so to avoid the possibility of being hacked (more precisely, I'll just investigate all the possible attack vectors.)

I know, right? There's always the possibility it CarPlay could come via a firmware update---bwahaha, oh, who am I kidding? We'll never get CarPlay. :(

Honda has always been mediocre cars. Ask millions with their 5 speed autos that destruct how they were treated? Or those with VCM issues in the V6's. Honda has never been anything special.

Why trust Tesla?

Oh yeah, they're the "Cool Car Company" cause they have Elon to worship...

Well, guess I should give up on my 2014 Civic EX getting it... even though my model's dash has been the display dash used on the CarPlay site ever since CarPlay was announced. *sigh*

Your car is not going to get hacked. Stop listening to the fear mongering put out by the mainstream media. The recent clowns with the Jeep did not just take a car off the lot and remote "hack" it. They had to physically upload new firmware into the system. I won't even get into what systems they claim are hackable but on that car are actuated by a physical switch(like the windshield wipers). Those people also operate a car security consulting firm so that explains their true intent.

And thanks to one vulnerable element, which Miller and Valasek won’t identify until their Black Hat talk, Uconnect’s cellular connection also lets anyone who knows the car’s IP address gain access from anywhere in the country. “From an attacker’s perspective, it’s a super nice vulnerability,” Miller says.

From that entry point, Miller and Valasek’s attack pivots to an adjacent chip in the car’s head unit—the hardware for its entertainment system—silently rewriting the chip’s firmware to plant their code.

A set of GPS coordinates, along with a vehicle identification number, make, model, and IP address, appears on the laptop screen. It’s a Dodge Ram. Miller plugs its GPS coordinates into Google Maps to reveal that it’s cruising down a highway in Texarkana, Texas. He keeps scanning, and the next vehicle to appear on his screen is a Jeep Cherokee driving around a highway cloverleaf between San Diego and Anaheim, California. Then he locates a Dodge Durango, moving along a rural road somewhere in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. When I ask him to keep scanning, he hesitates. Seeing the actual, mapped locations of these unwitting strangers’ vehicles—and knowing that each one is vulnerable to their remote attack—unsettles him.
