Wikipedia says BlueLink uses Bluetooth [2]. So I'm not sure what connection is actually used, but if it's Bluetooth/local wifi and there are no further security bugs, then it would be unlikely that someone else could connect to the car in the first place.

- _8j50 4y agoMakes sense. I thought it was done over the internet when U saw login().
- synchronizing 4y agoI can't speak on older BlueLink cars (article is from 2017), but my 2021 Elantra has GSM built-in and the commands are sent/received through the web - no bluetooth at all.

- synchronizing 4y agoI've gone through every configuration menu the cars has and I've personally never seen the option to modify that.
