2015 security flaw

In 2015, the German motoring association ADAC discovered security flaws in the ConnectedDrive system which potentially allowed attackers to remotely unlock the vehicle. [5] [6] To fix this flaw, BMW released a security update, which was automatically installed via the Internet. [7] There are no reports of the flaw being used to gain unauthorised access to a vehicle.
