Critical security issue - should I or should I not expose it?

Thanks for the follow up even if you didn't bring any clarity to some of the good questions asked here.

I'm also confused because in your first post you said you provided your friend entry by using your key fob immediately before he "hotwired" it, now you say you didn't even have your key fob with you during the procedure! Certainly you are aware the system is in a different state after unlocking it with your fob or key than it would be if your friend had shimmied the door open using burglar tools?

It looks like you agree with the consensus that whatever your friend demonstrated is not a flaw. How far did the Mazda USA rep travel to meet w/you?

Mike - I have always valued your opinions and questions. Give me a day or two and I'll try best to respond.

Sorry man - I am with you. The general consensus is about 10 days and I had given Mazda 21. Trust me, I informed Mazda much, much before. There was no response and yes: I did follow-up. I do agree they really went over the top and I really appreciate it.

Thanks!! Really glad to hear to Mazda was as proactive as this... I've dealt with some fairly sh1tty fortune "50" companies" who felt their sh1t didn't stink on some stock altering exploits. (Major network router vendor & close ties to my organization....internally discovered)

I got some good coupons which I can use later on and they thanked me quite a bit.

I'm curious what these coupons look like.

Post 'em up!

How?

Opps - wrong post. Anyways - what was told me are these coupons are usually part of something called the Welcome Package. Except in my case, they will be for the 30k and 15k service. Its still coming (I hope) via snail mail. They said usually its just 5k oil change coupon in welcome package. In addition, I also should get some other % off coupons on repairs was told.
