The Mazda infotainment system can similarly be updated via a USB stick. In the Mazda case, it's JavaScript code running in Opera on top of Linux. The code is written by Johnson Controls. Enterprising hackers (of the good sort) have made available a variety of customizations.

Do you know a good place to learn more about this? I'd love to see what might be available for my Mazda.

Over 6000 posts. Have fun. :-)
Someone put together an app which allows you to select the hacks you want, then generates a few scripts that you write to a USB drive. You then put that in the car and turn it on, and it patches the system:
You can brick the system, so be careful. I haven't touched my system yet, and I wouldn't do so w/o understanding exactly what each of these hacks do.
