BMW's CAN bus architecture has well-documented security weaknesses. The M3, M4, M5, and X5 M are frequently targeted by thieves who exploit these vulnerabilities with off-the-shelf tools.
BMW's CAN bus can be accessed through the headlight wiring harness—no need to enter the vehicle. Thieves pop out a headlight, connect a device, and inject commands directly into the car's network. Within minutes, they've programmed a new key and driven away.
This technique, combined with traditional relay attacks on the keyless entry, makes BMW M-series vehicles particularly vulnerable. The sophisticated engineering that makes these cars great to drive also makes their security systems bypassable.
Thieves access the CAN bus through headlight wiring, programming a new key without ever entering the car.
BMW's Comfort Access is easily exploited by relay devices that extend your key fob's signal.
IGLA adds the security layer BMW should have included. Even if thieves program a new key via CAN bus injection, the engine won't start without your PIN. It's the missing piece of BMW's security puzzle.
BMW builds incredible driving machines. IGLA adds the security they overlooked.
