car hacking is definitely a legitimate reason to not want an open (WPA or not secured) network access point attached to your car.
However, your disconnected wifi requires proximity and the car being on to exploit...so in reality, it's probably way less exploitable in this setup than any number of traditional methods to steal/jack/etc your car.
Even i'm not paranoid enough about security to put this in the bucket of "worth the effort to eliminate" ...though one day i may see what happens when the entire onstar/wifi module is fully removed.
I wish oem's would stop being tards and adopt a consumer centric approach to what rapidly becomes obsolete or requires updates for security. We could swap in new entertainment options as they rapidly replace old stuff and hook in our own networking either via tethering or plugging in our own routers. We had more choice and control in the 90's than we do now. It should be the other way around.
