So I'm still going with the "bright spot" on the immunity on being hacked. The analysis was very simple - no internet, no hackability. I was part of the team that did the analysis that showed it was impossible to hack the actual controls of the aircraft on which our company had computers. The company I worked for built computers and systems for fly-by-wire. After the September 11 attacks, the FAA was spooked about someone being able to remotely control fly-by-wire aircraft. I'll share a little of my work experience. There is no upgrade path short of replacing the entire head unit. Hence the "2019 uConnect 4 owners are screwed" comment as far as being able to upgrade.
The 2019 uConnect 4 (no "C") has no circuit board that has the internet connectivity. If uConnect doesn't have internet capability, there's no path to get to the ECM - short of opening the hood and physically accosting the ECM or plugging into the ODB2 port, both of which requires access to the vehicle.
The only internet connection is through uConnect. These articles show how the internet connection to the ECM can control a vehicle. Click to expand.I believe you are missing my point.
