Mobile virus infects Lexus cars?
Is your LX470 or LS430 navigation system infected with a computer virus? According to this article, it has already happened to some of us: "Lexus cars may be vulnerable to viruses that infect them via mobile phones. Landcruiser 100 models LX470 and LS430 have been discovered with infected operating systems that transfer within a range of 15 feet.... It is understood the virus could affect the navigation system of the Lexus models, it transfers onto them via a Bluetooth mobile phone connection."

Although SC Magazine appears to be a reputable source, the article itself seems more alarmist than factual. Do you know anyone whose Lexus was infected with a computer virus? Or is this just more fear mongering from the anti-virus software companies?
