@Eka_FOOF_A nope, in #Germany Emergency Calls require a #SIM (or #eSIM, most of them have that soldered down!) and any tampering with #eCall is voiding it's certification and vehicle safety, thus making it illegal to drive.

  • Cars may even actively prevent driving/fail to move if it can't communicate with it and gets a clean status, which may even include any connectivity checks.
    • So unless you were to reverse-engineer the original, per-vehicle unique eCall modem and do constant #replay attacks against the internal network, you may end up with a #bricked car.

Oh and they may even have all components serialized and encrypted like an #Xbox360 and it's optical drive!

See now why I drive a 2007 Corsa D?

@ai6yr

That's why I only bought smart home stuff that's not dependent on manufacturer infrastructure but can all be controlled locally.

Light switches...

light bulbs and outlets... and apparently a crock pot and coffee maker. LOL.

Wow... Wonder how many people will be sitting in the dark and stuff not working suddenly and not realize it's because their "smart home" product has stopped working. Announced awhile back, but... still.

WEMO: "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end technical support for older Wemo products, effective January 31, 2026. After this date, several Wemo products will no longer be controllable through the Wemo app. Any features that rely on cloud connectivity, including remote access and voice assistant integrations, will no longer work.

Jeep just pushed a software update that bricked all the 2024 Wrangler 4xe models, including my Willys. The future is going great.
