[Android Head-Units] tbd2k2:
I think the number of these head units (Chinese/Generic) that are plugged into the CAN bus is quite minimal. There may be a subset of users who have it, but most are simply connected to the 12+V, common ground, the AM/FM antenna, the speakers and/or an amp.. There may be some sense wires for reverse gear, illumination, etc, but they don't transmit anything and do not control anything outside the head unit That's the typcal level of in-car integration (aside from those who might also be adding a bluetooth OBD dongle...but that's another issue.)

The concern over potential security issues that the OP raised, however, are legitimate. Because the vast majority of these head units have Wifi enabled, which is easily exploitable, especially when well-know exploits have not been patched. And very few (if any) will ever receive an update from the OEM who created the original ROM.

To be fully transparent, this is a common security issue that affects ALL Android devices that are not regularly updated when Google patches the code base. So I think using a lower-tier cell phone would be lot more of a concern (if I were using one), simply because of the potential loss of personal data if it were remotely hacked because of a known Android exploit. That's exactly what I would be worried about if I were inputting any personal data to a head unit that could be accessed remotely.

If you keep that potential problem in mind, I think the security on one is no worse than using a second or third tier Android phone that does not get any updates. I would be especially careful about using a "real" Google account when downloading anything or browsing the web through one of these things.

Just my $0.2 :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I agree with all of your sentiments here except the minimizing of the numbers plugged into canbus. I think you underestimate those. All of these devices that are 'model specific' (ie, trim panels fit a specific model) and support SWC are plugged into the CAN bus. Most of these devices are getting their SWC from CAN. They also display things like AC controls, Door openings, push RDS through Multi-Info-Displays in the gauge cluster, etc.

I think being connect to CAN, plus all the things you mentioned above, should give people some concern.

I'm still waiting for the first example of Ransomware that threatens to take your brakes out if you don't pay. May seem a little far fetched, but if you do any serious looking at CAN exploits, these things are possible.
[Android Head-Units] tbd2k2:
Yes, you are probably correct on the numbers connected to CANBUS. I don't have that in my car, it's older, so I was over generalizing.

Newer models of cars have it and those selling manufacturer-specific head units often advtertise that they can accept CANBUS data. So, the newer the car and the more model-specific the unit, the more likely the CANBUS connection.

Not sure about the ransomware threat in a head unit though. It's possible,I suppose. But if a car head unit maker deliberately allowed that or if it was commonly known that a certain vendor had that problem, I think their sales would drop to zero rather quickly.
[Android Head-Units] shatteredsilicon:
You would be surprised. My best friend works on automotive embedded electronics, and the industry has changed massively in the past 10 years, in terms of exactly these kinds of devices. A decade ago nobody even remotely considered the aspects of security isolation between different systems on various buses. Today it's the biggest focus of the design and development. Bottom line, you _really_ don't want to attach an unpatched Android devices to the CAN bus of even the newest cars that are still getting firmware updates and were designed with CAN security in mind, let alone a 10 year old car that was designed at a time when CAN bus security wasn't even a consideration.

There have been several demonstrations recently of CAN hacks over various means that can seriously affect critical systems like engine and brakes.
[Android Head-Units] doitright:
First off, root does NOT mean you are losing ANY degree of security.

However, the implementation of accessing that root CAN be dangerous, for instance, SuperSU is a NOT SECURE. SuperSU hands your device's most intimate controls over to a black box corporation with unknown motivations and no public face. THAT is scary.

Root access can actually IMPROVE security, because it allows you the access needed in order to AUDIT the device's security. This is something you don't have without root access.

The first rule of root is that you should ONLY use OPEN SOURCE software to manage it (i.e. https://github.com/seSuperUser). This is because being open source means that you (or somebody you trust) can audit the code directly, and understand EXACTLY what it is doing.

As for the benefit, the fact that you are unable to comprehend what you can really do with root access doesn't mean that the benefits are "negligible". You're thinking along a very shallow line, such as changing the system UI to use predominantly PINK coloring scheme. This is not a benefit of root, this is just silly. I'm not going to go into what you can do with root, because the reality is that the only limit is YOUR IMAGINATION.

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong thread and for asking a noob question. Can someone tell me the easiest way to install TWRP on my d85110r Lg-G3? And is it possible without rooting my stock ROM. Also I'm new to LG devices, so is there anything thing like Loki or some other patches I should look out for before flashing a custom ROM on it.

Thanks a lot
[T-Mobile LG G3] SofaSpud:
Not possible without root.

What did you think was going to happen when wiping the system (ROM) partition?

Simple rule of thumb, do

not

wipe a partition if you aren't 100% sure of what it is, or what the result will be.

Another simple and fundamental rule of modding these phones, once you install TWRP, make a TWRP backup (backup the current ROM). Before doing

any

kinds of mods (root, custom ROM, etc) if you have a TWRP backup, you can easily revert in case you have any problems.
