On June 11th, 2024, we discovered a set of vulnerabilities in Kia vehicles that allowed remote control over key functions using only a license plate. These attacks could be executed remotely on any hardware-equipped vehicle in about 30 seconds, regardless of whether it had an active Kia Connect subscription.
Cool just like trying to replace a blower motor in a modern car feel free to rip the entire dash out only to find out it has a second antenna all the way in the back underneath the spare tire also behind a tail light which somehow requires you to remove the muffler to get to…
If you can… Without breaking something vital thats on the same circuit as something so non-vital as turn signals or headlights. You know from the companies so smart as to not wire all… I mean all the positive hots through the ignition or light switch… Nothing like an ignition that’s 200°f.
FWIW there is a cottage industry for OnStar disable/delete mods for GM vehicles. It can be done, usually without breaking too much else of the car’s electronic functionality.
You could just find and disable the wireless modems.

Or just pull this fuse for the module?

brb, i have a muffler, a spare, and an entire dash to remove immediatly.
You’d probably have more luck installing a signal jammer in your car.
The best you can hope for is a rootkit and some Linux-based OS for cars to be developed so you can take full control.
i fucking KNEW we would be jailbreaking cars eventually.
and you bet they will come up with locked bootloaders.
Also, jammers are illegal pretty much everywhere.

I’d rather poke the GSM modem with a screwdriver.
if you can find it, and all it’s backups…
Not only what that other person said but it would probably void the warranty too.
