So, is the data sent from the phone, or from the (alleged) hidden transmitter?
If it's the former, then it must be using up the owner's data allowance, at his cost. I'd have thought that at least one of the squillions of car owners worldwide would have checked that and raised the alarm.
If it's the latter, what medium does it use to contact the manufacturer? And why are the phone and Bluetooth involved in the process at all?
Hi B,
I'm not sure about different models, but the addition of a connected SIM, fitted somewhere in the car is being adopted by ever increasing manufacturers as you DATA is money to them, and why miss out. It is paid for by the manufacturers, at least for a while, which is balanced by the DATA sale.

If you phone is connected, then CAN BE listened to and read, then sent home. I've seen a list of phone numbers and email addresses that were sent.
