Default Blue Tooth Virus?

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Even your car is not safe these days!

--Mobile Phones May Have Infected Lexus On-board Computers
(27 January 2005)
There have been reports that the on-board computers of several models
of Lexus automobiles have been infected with viruses. It is likely that
a mobile phone is responsible for the infections. Some Lexus cars have
navigation systems that use Bluetooth to connect to mobile phones to
allow hands-free calling.

[Editor's Note (Shpantzer): I hope Lexus (Toyota) is keeping XP Embedded
Edition and other general-purpose OSs out of the main chips for the
actual automotive functions.]
