Well, if your really worried about it, you could always clip the send wire for the in car serial port...
I was under the impression from reading some of these sites that it behaved closer to an snmp type interface... ie, you query for a section, it returns the information. IF all it's doing is outputing data strings, then certainly, that is the preferred solution. If not, you can't do that...
In any event, I don't know enough about what it really is doing to have an intelligent discussion about it.... Much less plug into it randomly.
But it sounds cool...
