No guns or lockpicks needed to nick modern cars if they're fitted with hackable 'smart' alarms

Instant spy movie device!

This suggests a plot trick suitable for a Bond film. Jimmy is driving around in his modern Smart Connect Austin. Yes, really! I'm sure the "Q" who plugged an infected USB drive into the main network in front of everyone would think this was a marvelous idea and that the admin password "MhasAtinyDick" is strong. Anyway, the Evil Overlord's minions hack the car. They eavesdrop to learn what Bond knows about them and which porn he's watching on the in-vehicle entertainment system. Not like they really WANT to know that, but you get it all when you're hacking data. They track his location and send incorrect navigation info to the car, directing him to where they have an attack team waiting. When he unwittingly drives into the ambush, the evil minions disable the engine, unlock the doors, and change the system to show a Benny Hill episode. While Bond is distracted trying to get the Japanese tentacle clip back on, the evil minions jump him. When Bond turns up missing they'll ask Q to locate the car. He will then discover the password has been changed and Bond's subscription to Pornhub has been canceled.

Hey, I'd rent that on DVD.
