There was absolutely no need to try and actually publish the details. It would be like someone posting your credit card details incl crc number without you knowing or realising until you got fudged. This smacks more of a publicity stunt to raise the profile of the paper.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

By the sounds of it, these 'hackable' immobilisers relate to cars fitted with keyless entry/start.

No worries for us then  :wink:
