> A random car from a 2nd hand car lot with a mystery custom firmware? Oh hellllllll no.

Just like any random car can have a $100 GPS tracker or spy microphone hidden which you won't locate without dismantling the entire car.

If someone wants to spy or be nefarious with a car I can think of many easier & cheaper ways than making custom firmware for the radio.

You often connect your phone to this system though, via cable or Bluetooth, so I can see a pretty simple attack vector here to enable being way more nefarious than just GPS tracking…
