I thought this was super cool and since I own one of the affected years part of me really wants to build out what they are talking about and try it. ( i already have all the comments that are needed). This article talks about how there is an exploit in specific model year Subarus that can cause you to capture the FOB packets and then with a simple script you are able to unlock and relock the car. Subaru claims they are aware of this issue but have no done anything about it. I also wanted to note that even though I do own one of the effected cars at this point nothing on that car is stock including the alarm so the chances of this actually working for myself are slim because the OEM system is bypassed but it is still cool to give it a try.

Jonathan,
Very interesting topic reminds us again with the fact that we became living with so much technology that put as under risk of losing our belongs. On the top of securing our homes that contain nowadays all these devices we call them smart and connected to the internet, now we have to worry about our cars just because they are full of computers and software what don’t get patched by the companies. In my opinion, these companies need to think about inversting on securing these computer technologies before they implement them in cars. However,it become necessary that they work on developing new updates all the time.
