This, a million times this. My understanding also is that the ODB port on many/most vehicles goes straight into the CAN bus controlling everything in the car. It's entirely possible you could gain control over any microcontroller in the car, send false messages, drown the bus, etc. through a device like this. It's a TERRIBLE idea from a security perspective.
