I know someone has discussed this before. I just found an article and study from cnet.
Hope it informs everyone well enough

I havent read the article yet. Its being sent to the printer right now but I dont get it. If they are saying Comfort Access can be hacked so can triditional remotes. Regular Key Fobs. they just send out a signal also. Ummm 315Mhz radio Freq... Once you get the car unlocked it'll prob have the same ignition code and will unlock that too so you can use a screw driver to start the car with your lap top close to the ignition sensor. No?
Edit: Finished the article... Ahhhhhhhhh so its passive... whatever. Like I said... steal it, but dont let the cops find it please... I dont want it back after they driven the @(*^$ out of it. Then i can report it and get a BRAND spanking new car.

As stated on previous threads any system can be hacked by a tech savy thief. If you stick with a key you could end up being more vulnerable! Car jacking and breaking into homes to steal car keys is the alternative to the desperate thief and becoming so common place that car security /tracking companies now are buiding in anti-hijacking measures i.e. noting when a car is not being driven by a person without a credit card radio beacon in their pocket.
I would rather my car be stolen by an intelligent thief than a drugged up desperate one

Apparently it can also be related to other systems being vulnerable to, e.g., buffer overflows, via remote connectivity (e.g., RFID). This whole area is pretty vague and the coverage of it sensationalistic (and generalistic), but as more and more vehicles listen via wireless mechanisms (RFID, Bluetooth, and so on), and as these systems are integrated into one master controller running a unified operating system (such as Windows CE for Automotive Platforms), if there are vulnerabilities, it would certainly be possible to access other systems of the vehicle (such as ignition, etc.)
Also, if you can duplicate the functions of the key in a completely wireless setup, well, I'm sure you can see the possibilities.
