I was going to post that, but didn't want to be negative

It doesn't sound like you could actually DRIVE the vehicle you 'hacked'... but unlocking technically only ever requires a hammer on almost any car that has... windows...

If they truly hacked it they should be able to disable it, how OnStar does in a chase... that would be interesting.

The Jeep hack was much scarier...
