Ironic that the devs of these patches seem to have more airtight security on their discord servers than major car manufacturers have on their $20k+ fleets.

It’s so crazy to me that people will rush out and try and ban tools like these, rather than force car companies to use more secure systems. Like, banning these is futile, they’re not that complex of a device to make, the core issue here is that car companies have fallen over them selves to be “tech forward” to justify pushing further in to the premium price range, but have completely failed to secure their systems.

I use mine to check for chips in stray cats in the neighborhood, and to have a backup for my keyfobs. Awesome tool.

So mamy still use very insecure ciphers, or it is possible to extend the “car is near me”-signal enabling click’n’drive.
