It doesn't go into detail as to how one could exploit this hack like it does in this one: http://blog.caranddriver.com/hacker-...ess-entry-car/

For example, could this hack only be exploited if you used your keyless FOB, or could some guy be hiding in the bushes as you insert your key into your ignition?

 

Or they just cut through the softop on 90% of our cars.

 

Um, that's not what the article's about - it'd do a lot more than just getting into your car; this hack would allow them to program a duplicate key (without physically needing your key) and drive away with it.

 

This is why we should read PAST the headlines before posting.

 

I've known about the way it works for some time. I think that the car will recognize the next 128 or 256 codes, or something like that.

So, if you press your button too many times away from the car, it would need reprogramming.

I would call this an application of an exploit that has been known about in some circles for a long time. It doesn't seem to be a way past the expensive KEY (not fob) programming, sadly.
