Once again proving backdoors are fucking idiotic.

Not sure that I would really agree that these are backdoor. Since disabling the vehicle remotely is kinda the express intention of this device. Just a consequence of how they designed them to not be circumvented by the operator.

Uhhh nope, there's no reason for a remote connection.

Interlocks are for people who have had a DUI, by your logic ankle monitors should not be able to be accessed remotely.

Don't break the law If you don't want to be monitored by the state.
