    Two security researchers from iSec Partners have shown at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas they can unlock a Subaru Outback and actually start the engine - all remotely.

    It is perfectly legal to be stupid....
    STOP
    abusing the privilege.....

    I am NOT a doctor, police officer, FBI agent, ambulance tech, or Part 90 dispatcher.
    I am an amateur radio operator, in what still is, at least somewhat, a quasi-technical hobby.
    I am NOT a DHS employee, and I don't work for FEMA.
    I am a freaking bus driver, yapping on the radio, playing with antennas and having FUN

    When these features were announced my gut told me it wouldn't take long before they were hacked....

    now they'll have to build security codes into their remote controls. (it shouldn't have been announced, when the high tech criminals hear they'll be figuring it out)

    I know the old school method was to get your VIN off the dash & get a replacement key made according to that. I still to this day keep my handicapped placard covering it
