Possible attacks againts head unit of contemporary cars

I purchased a new car this week. It has multimedia unit (sometimes called head unit of car). It has FM/AM/DAB radio functions (with its radio antenna) ,bluetooth 5.0,Wireless CarPlay – Android Auto, and it has its own GPS antenna for gps signals.

I hesitated about the security of my car. I think that most of cars today have similar head units.

I wonder about what types of attacks can be performed againts my car.

  • The first thing come to my mind is bluetooth sniffing to capture data with Android auto property.

  • Secondly GPS spoofing can be done using tools such as HackRF-one.

  • I heard that some attacks are done using DAB signals such as SQL injection. However, i could not imagine any attack with FM/AM radio, maybe you know...

So, can you please add other possible attacks against the head unit of my car (and other cars have such head units)
