So did you call GM customer service and demand an security Update 1-800 222-1020. Just like JLR did for it customers new and old vehicles.

I know we love our cars but in the grand scheme of things it isn't worth your life.

Lee Walton, head of JLR's Vehicle Theft Reduction Group, told us that the next step for thieves was to utilise automotive locksmith equipment, enabling them to programme keys to vehicles. By plugging a device into a car’s diagnostic port, a key can be programmed in a matter of seconds allowing the car to be taken. This type of theft is commonly known as a ‘BCM hack’. The only hurdle for criminals being that the car must be unlocked.
More high-tech equipment was therefore required. A signal jammer is commonly used, preventing owners from being able to lock their vehicle. Walton told us that these are regularly used in car parks or petrol stations. Once the owner leaves the vehicle, thieves are able to jump in and take it. For vehicles that are locked, a more invasive method is used. Crime gangs worked out that they could trigger a vehicle’s locking system by intercepting the on-board computer wires and sending fake messages. This type of attack requires highly sophisticated knowledge of a vehicle’s electrical architecture. The equipment costs upwards of £25,000. Depending on the vehicle, these wires are usually accessed by cutting holes in either the front wing or bootlid. JLR has been rapidly working on software updates to prevent these attack methods. Vehicles dating back to 2016 will be eligible for free updates, with rollouts taking place now. The software update prevents keys being programmed by the BCM hack method and also stops external devices from being able to send commands to the car’s computer system. |

Until GM fixes this (if they ever do), get yourself a "kill switch", hide your OBD-II port and install a fake one and get a steering wheel club (yes, I know they can cut the steering wheel and remove the club but if they don't have a hack saw with them, they can't do much and simply seeing the "club" may give them pause as to what other measures you have taken to avoid theft and they may simply pass on your vehicle)... I install my club everywhere I park the car, even if only for 10-15 minutes...

what are the legal rights that we, as owners have, if we're confronted by a thief?
