The earliest linkage that I know of between the vehicle data network and an entertainment system was to be able to automatically increase the radio/CD volume at higher speeds. This was long before phones were built in to the dashboard so there wasn't as much of a requirement for security, once you are inside the car the diagnostic connector will give you access to the whole network anyway.
I don't know of a read-only CAN controller, plus not all data values will be periodically broadcast over the vehicle network so you may need to be able to send out a request for something as well as listen for a reply. The standard firewall tools ought to be easy enough to adapt to filter CAN messages.
The first time I updated ECUs over the air would be over 15 years ago, I have not kept up with whether manufacturers were thinking of doing it routinely.

My fear is that it's too late to start thinking about security. How many manufacturers will be willing to re-think their cyber security, and re design it from the ground up, when some are willing to release a car with a faulty ignition to save a few dollars.
