Any Linux gurus out there who care to test this out?

It mentions a major German auto manufacturer but I think our cars have the ability to enter a (non-default) passcode. Maybe this worked on the E39 or other models with BT?

As long as there is no default passkey, and your car is in motion, I do not think there is much to worry about..
And, when I pair my phones I can freely choose four-digit passkey.

I dont know if its true but I'll throw this out... for the E60 isnt there only 1 screeen inside the BT section where it will allow conncetion to another device? So while driving its not in the "Bluetooth is connectable in this screen" so no one can inject any voices to your speakers...

Right, but am I the only one who thinks it would be fun to taunt other cars (older BMW's, Acuras, etc.) that have BT but no user interface?
