Employing this trick you can find all of Chrysler’s cars equipped with this kind of head unit. Over a million of them were actually recalled by Fiat Chrysler. After that all you need is to choose the right one. Funny thing is that it’s rather hard to do, “it’s much easier to hack all the Jeeps than the certain one,” as the researchers say.

However, picking the wanted Jeep is doable as well, thanks to the option of the GPS tracker.

Better double check that you're not crashing another Jeep which is in the wrong place at the wrong time...

If you're doing it for nefarious purposes, all you need to know is that the target vehicle in is on the road. You could have every active vehicle crash at the same time. While doing so blows the hack for good, it would make the motive incredibly difficult to determine.
