Which is exactly what I said when it was posted earlier.
The website seems scammy too. Got a banner at the top warning that you don’t have GCP or some nonsense thing they’re selling for “security”.
Nah, this guy is a scammer, looking to cash in on fear mongering.
Not to say what our cars do isn’t a HUGE problem , it is. But he just comes across as icky. Not like he wants to help people, just help people give him their Vin and who knows what else.
Look, scammer, you don’t need a Vin to tell people how to address this. Just make, model, trim, features. Cause here’s the thing… If it ain’t got a newer/fancy “entertainment” system or specifically markets remote diags, then it’s just local data that I doubt the owner can easily remove.
Having worked on many cars, vendor data is getting harder and harder to access, even though OBDII is a standard. Vendors still implement special codes. Generic readers may not even be able to read secondary systems, like transmission. If that is hard to access, how much harder is telemetry?
Anyway,simply knowing the brand would tell you which telemetry vendor they contracted with. After that it’s just based on the model.
This article just seems like an ad
