My 2020 Crosstrek is connected to the internet, but it only affects the infotainment system and remote start/stop/monitoring.
The rest of the car is completely offline, that includes Eyesight.

- magikaram 5y agoNot parent, but thank you for sharing this, as is quite the read.
- dogman144 5y agoSure thing! Cool read. It links into a very stellar 90 page report that kicked off much of the hacking cars research
- logbiscuitswave 5y agoThat was a great read. Thanks for posting. I’ve been dabbling in reverse engineering embedded devices in my spare time. I find these kind of detailed reports on how someone solved a reverse engineering challenge to be fascinating.
- ezfe 5y agoInteresting page, and while what I said may be incorrect (it's not air-gapped or anything) - my intent was to say: >The online subscription and cellular service connectivity is not directly interacting with the eyesight safety system. The original article seemed to conflate them.
- vaxman 5y agoHow do you know it "is completely offline, that includes Eyesight." I believe this is false. Also, the "repair issue" is concerned with (service bay) RF access to the proprietary sensors and memory attached to the vehicle's computer systems --not necessarily Internet connectivity to them.
- ezfe 5y agoLet me rephrase, I meant that those systems, while they may be exposed to the online systems, are not part of the subscription packages in any way - and don't use the internet to operate.
